Mobile & App-Based Access explained
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.
The Dumfries and Galloway sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.

Specifying it well

- Budget for the ongoing subscription, not just the hardware
How the job runs
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.
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 Dumfries and Galloway — questions
Do you install mobile & app-based access in Dumfries and Galloway?
Yes. Dumfries and Galloway 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 Dumfries and Galloway?
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.
