What Electric Locks & Maglocks is
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 Newport 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 asks for it in Newport
Every access-controlled door, on every type of building.
- 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.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
What a proper install includes
- Magnetic locks from 280kg to 545kg holding force
- Electric strikes, solenoid bolts and motorised multi-point locks
- Fail-safe locks on escape routes, released by the fire alarm
- Green break-glass emergency release on every maglocked exit
Getting the specification right
- 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
- Maglocks need a rigid frame — a flexing UPVC door needs a different approach
Survey, quote, install
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. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
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 Newport — questions
Do you install electric locks & maglocks in Newport?
Yes. Newport is part of our regular Wales 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 Newport?
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.
