The short version
Mobile access turns a phone into the credential. Permissions are issued over the air, so a new starter can be granted access before they arrive and a leaver revoked the moment they go.
In Aberdeenshire 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.
Typical Aberdeenshire applications
Multi-site businesses, flexible workspaces, contractors, property managers and anyone tired of couriering fobs.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- 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.
Scope of works
- Cloud management with remote issue and revoke
- Time-limited visitor and contractor passes
- Optional multi-factor with device unlock required
- Works alongside fobs so nobody is forced onto an app
What to insist on
- Always keep a physical credential option for visitors and phone-flat days
- Check the cloud platform's data residency if that matters to you
- Budget for the ongoing subscription, not just the hardware
From first call to handover
Nothing gets priced from a phone call. An engineer walks the doors, notes what is there, works out what has to change, and puts it in writing with the hardware named and the per-door cost shown. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
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.

Mobile & App-Based Access in Aberdeenshire — questions
Do you install mobile & app-based access in Aberdeenshire?
Yes. Aberdeenshire is part of our regular Scotland coverage and mobile & app-based access 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 mobile & app-based access cost in Aberdeenshire?
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.
What if someone's phone battery dies?
You keep a fallback: a fob, a PIN, or an intercom to reception. We never specify a single credential type with no alternative.
Is there a monthly cost?
Mobile credentials are normally subscription-based, priced per user or per door. We show you the three-year total at quote stage, not just the install price.
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.
