Fire Alarm Interface & Egress explained
Every electrically locked door on an escape route must release safely when the fire alarm sounds. The interface that makes that happen is the single most important part of an access control installation.
What decides this job in Neath Port Talbot 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.

How the job runs
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. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Commissioning is part of the job, not an extra visit. You finish with a working system, a tested fire interface, and a named person on your team who knows how to administer it.

Fire Alarm Interface & Egress in Neath Port Talbot — questions
Do you install fire alarm interface & egress in Neath Port Talbot?
Yes. Neath Port Talbot is part of our regular Wales coverage and fire alarm interface & egress 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 fire alarm interface & egress cost in Neath Port Talbot?
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.
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, and free mechanical egress must remain available at all times. This is a life-safety requirement, not an option.
What is a green break-glass unit for?
It cuts power to the lock directly, independently of the software and the fire panel, so the door can always be opened from the inside. Every maglocked escape door should have one.
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.
