- Fire-compliant locking and release on escape routes
- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
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.
What decides this job in Suffolk is rarely the brand on the reader. It is the door leaf, the frame, the closer and the fire strategy — which is exactly why we survey before putting a number on anything.
Typical Suffolk applications
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.
Scope of works
- Bluetooth and NFC readers compatible with iOS and Android
- Cloud management with remote issue and revoke
- Time-limited visitor and contractor passes
What to insist on
- 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
From first call to handover
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. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.

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