Keypad Entry Systems in Somerset
Keypad Entry Systems across Somerset, installed by engineers who work on these systems every week and commission them properly before handover.
- Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
- Our engineers cover Somerset as part of their standing area, so survey visits are usually arranged within a few working days.
- Fire-compliant locking and release on escape routes
- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
In plain terms
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.
In Somerset this tends to be specified in one of two situations: a new fit-out where it can be designed in cleanly, or a retrofit where cable routes and existing door hardware dictate half the answer. Both are routine for us; they are just priced differently.
Common Somerset use cases
Stock rooms, gates, communal doors, holiday lets, plant rooms and contractor access points.
- 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.
- 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.
What the price covers
- Duress code options on supported systems
- Vandal and weather-resistant metal keypads
- Multiple user codes with individual audit where the controller supports it
Avoiding the usual mistakes
- 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
The process
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
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.

Keypad Entry Systems in Somerset — questions
Do you install keypad entry systems in Somerset?
Yes. Somerset 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 Somerset?
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.
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.
