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.

Buildings in Edinburgh usually reach this point when the number of keyholders outgrows anybody's memory of who has what. At that stage an audit trail stops being a nice extra and starts being the reason to do it at all.

Typical Edinburgh applications

Stock rooms, gates, communal doors, holiday lets, plant rooms and contractor access points.

  • Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
  • Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
  • 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.

Scope of works

  • 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

What to insist on

  • Metal keys wear better than membrane on high-traffic doors
  • 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

From first call to handover

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.

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 Edinburgh — questions

Do you install keypad entry systems in Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh is part of our regular Scotland 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 Edinburgh?

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.
