In plain terms
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.
Across Herefordshire the trigger is usually the same: a credential has gone missing and nobody can say where. Once that happens with a mechanical key, the only honest fix is changing locks and reissuing to everyone. Electronic credentials remove that problem entirely.
Common Herefordshire use cases
Every access-controlled door, on every type of building.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- 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.
What the price covers
- 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
- Magnetic locks from 280kg to 545kg holding force
Avoiding the usual mistakes
- 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
The process
First a survey, then a written quote per door, then a booked date — in that order, with no pressure between the steps. Most of the cost variation between quotations comes down to cable routing, which is exactly what a survey exists to establish. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
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 Herefordshire — questions
Do you install electric locks & maglocks in Herefordshire?
Yes. Herefordshire 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 Herefordshire?
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.
