The short version
Proximity readers work by presenting an encrypted fob or card. The credential is checked against the system, the door releases, and the event is logged with a name and a timestamp.
Buildings in East Sussex usually reach this point when the number of keyholders outgrows anybody's memory of who has what. At that stage an audit trail stops being a nice extra and starts being the reason to do it at all.
Typical East Sussex applications
Offices, gyms, storage sites, laboratories, student accommodation and anywhere keys keep going missing.
- 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.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
Scope of works
- Slimline, keypad-combined or long-range reader options
- Reader-to-controller wiring on OSDP where the hardware supports it

What to insist on
- Order spare credentials at install; they are cheaper in a batch
- Insist on encrypted credentials — basic 125kHz fobs can be copied in a kiosk
- Combined reader-keypads let you require PIN as well as fob out of hours
From first call to handover
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. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
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.

Proximity Fob & Card Readers in East Sussex — questions
Do you install proximity fob & card readers in East Sussex?
Yes. East Sussex is part of our regular England coverage and proximity fob & card readers 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 proximity fob & card readers cost in East Sussex?
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.
Can lost fobs really be cancelled instantly?
Yes. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working at the next presentation — no locks changed, no cost.
Are our existing fobs reusable?
If they are an encrypted format the new system supports, often yes. We read a sample during the survey and tell you before you commit.
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.
