What it does
The lock is the part that actually holds the door. Getting it right — and getting the fail-safe or fail-secure decision right — is the difference between a secure door and a dangerous one.
In Derbyshire this tends to be specified in one of two situations: a new fit-out where it can be designed in cleanly, or a retrofit where cable routes and existing door hardware dictate half the answer. Both are routine for us; they are just priced differently.
Who we install it for in Derbyshire
Every access-controlled door, on every type of building.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
Included as standard
- Fail-safe locks on escape routes, released by the fire alarm
- Green break-glass emergency release on every maglocked exit
- Door closers and hold-open devices where required
Questions worth asking any installer
- Maglocks need a rigid frame — a flexing UPVC door needs a different approach
- Match holding force to the door, not to a catalogue headline
- Glass doors need a specific bracket set; don't let anyone improvise one
How we deliver it
The survey covers every door in scope: leaf and frame condition, existing hardware, power and cable routes, and whether the opening sits on an escape route. That produces a fixed written price, broken down per door so it can be compared honestly against anyone else's. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
We commission before we leave: every door tested, every release proved with the fire alarm, users enrolled and someone on your side shown how to add and cancel a credential.

Electric Locks & Maglocks in Derbyshire — questions
Do you install electric locks & maglocks in Derbyshire?
Yes. Derbyshire is part of our regular England coverage and electric locks & maglocks is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does electric locks & maglocks cost in Derbyshire?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure?
A fail-safe lock releases when power is lost — used on escape routes. A fail-secure lock stays locked when power is lost — used where security must survive an outage. The fire strategy for the building decides which goes where.
Is a maglock legal on a fire exit?
Yes, when it is fail-safe, interfaced to the fire alarm, fitted with a green emergency break-glass release, and free egress is maintained. Fitted any other way it is a serious life-safety risk.
Can lost fobs be cancelled?
Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.
Can I answer the door entry from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland through our installation network, with regional engineers rather than one central team. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm coverage and realistic attendance times.
