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.

What decides this job in Leicestershire is rarely the brand on the reader. It is the door leaf, the frame, the closer and the fire strategy — which is exactly why we survey before putting a number on anything.

Who we install it for in Leicestershire

Every access-controlled door, on every type of building.

  • Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
  • Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
  • Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
  • Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.

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

  • Match holding force to the door, not to a catalogue headline
  • Glass doors need a specific bracket set; don't let anyone improvise one
  • Fire escape doors almost always need fail-safe locking and free egress

How we deliver it

We look at the doors before we price them. That means measuring cable runs properly, checking whether the frame will take a maglock, and confirming with your fire documentation which openings must fail safe. The quotation that follows is fixed. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.

Handover includes a tested fire release, a loaded user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — the paperwork your fire risk assessor and insurer will eventually ask for.

Electric Locks & Maglocks in Leicestershire — questions

Do you install electric locks & maglocks in Leicestershire?

Yes. Leicestershire 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 Leicestershire?

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.

Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?

On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.

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.
