The short version
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.
What decides this job in Cornwall 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.
Typical Cornwall applications
Stock rooms, gates, communal doors, holiday lets, plant rooms and contractor access points.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
- 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.
Scope of works
- Backlit keys and anti-shoulder-surf fascias
- Standalone or networked configurations
- Duress code options on supported systems
- Vandal and weather-resistant metal keypads
What to insist on
- Pair with a fob reader where you want two-factor entry out of hours
- Use individual codes, not one shared code, so you can revoke one person
- Backlighting matters on any door used in the dark
From first call to handover
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. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
After install the system is commissioned, the fire interface is tested against the alarm, your users are loaded and the documentation is handed over on the day rather than chased later.

Keypad Entry Systems in Cornwall — questions
Do you install keypad entry systems in Cornwall?
Yes. Cornwall is part of our regular England coverage and keypad entry systems 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 keypad entry systems cost in Cornwall?
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.
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.
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.
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.
