What Mobile & App-Based Access is
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 Oxfordshire 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.
Who asks for it in Oxfordshire
Multi-site businesses, flexible workspaces, contractors, property managers and anyone tired of couriering fobs.
- 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.
- Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
What a proper install includes
- Optional multi-factor with device unlock required
- Works alongside fobs so nobody is forced onto an app
- Bluetooth and NFC readers compatible with iOS and Android
- Cloud management with remote issue and revoke
Getting the specification right
- 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
Survey, quote, install
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. 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 Oxfordshire — questions
Do you install mobile & app-based access in Oxfordshire?
Yes. Oxfordshire is part of our regular England 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 Oxfordshire?
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.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
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.
