Keypad Entry Systems installation across the UK
Vandal-resistant PIN keypads for doors, gates and stores that need controlled shared access.
- Free survey before any price
- Fixed written quotation
- Fire-compliant locking and release
- All major makes supported
What keypad entry systems is
A keypad releases the door when the correct PIN is entered. There is no credential to lose, which makes it ideal for shared and occasional access.
Who it suits
Stock rooms, gates, communal doors, holiday lets, plant rooms and contractor access points.
What a proper installation includes
- Vandal and weather-resistant metal keypads
- Multiple user codes with individual audit where the controller supports it
- Backlit keys and anti-shoulder-surf fascias
- Standalone or networked configurations
- Duress code options on supported systems
How to choose well
- Use individual codes, not one shared code, so you can revoke one person
- Backlighting matters on any door used in the dark
- Metal keys wear better than membrane on high-traffic doors
- Pair with a fob reader where you want two-factor entry out of hours
How we work
We survey first. An engineer looks at the door leaf, the frame, the closer, the cable route and the fire strategy, because those four things decide the hardware far more than any brochure does. You then get a written quotation itemised per door, with the actual hardware named, so you can compare it properly against anyone else's.
On install day the work is done around your occupancy, not against it. Everything is commissioned, the fire interface is tested with the alarm, your users are loaded, and you get the documentation — user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — at handover rather than three emails later.
Repairs and aftercare
We service what we install and we service what other people installed. If you already have keypad entry systems that is failing, tell us the make and model from the panel and we can usually narrow the fault before an engineer leaves the yard.

Questions about keypad entry systems
How often should PIN codes be changed?
Change any shared code whenever someone leaves, and review all codes at least twice a year. Individual codes reduce how often this is necessary.
Can a keypad work without mains power at the door?
Battery-powered standalone keypad locks exist and suit outbuildings, but for a main entrance a wired unit with battery-backed power supply is far more dependable.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
Do you work on systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair, service and extend all common makes of access control, door entry and intercom, whoever installed them. If a system is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so and show you the numbers for both options.
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.
