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.
Across Scottish Borders the trigger is usually the same: a credential has gone missing and nobody can say where. Once that happens with a mechanical key, the only honest fix is changing locks and reissuing to everyone. Electronic credentials remove that problem entirely.
Where it gets used across Scottish Borders
Multi-site businesses, flexible workspaces, contractors, property managers and anyone tired of couriering fobs.
- 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.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
What you actually get
- 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
- Time-limited visitor and contractor passes
Specifying it well
- Confirm readers support both Bluetooth and NFC for iPhone compatibility
- Always keep a physical credential option for visitors and phone-flat days
- Check the cloud platform's data residency if that matters to you
How the job runs
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. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
We commission before we leave: every door tested, every release proved with the fire alarm, users enrolled and someone on your side shown how to add and cancel a credential.

Mobile & App-Based Access in Scottish Borders — questions
Do you install mobile & app-based access in Scottish Borders?
Yes. Scottish Borders 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 Scottish Borders?
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.
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.
