What it does
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.
Most Fife enquiries for this arrive after something went wrong — a break-in, a shared code that spread, or a door that was propped open for months. The system is the fix, but the survey is where it is decided properly.

How we deliver it
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. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
After install the system is commissioned, the fire interface is tested against the alarm, your users are loaded and the documentation is handed over on the day rather than chased later.

Proximity Fob & Card Readers in Fife — questions
Do you install proximity fob & card readers in Fife?
Yes. Fife is part of our regular Scotland 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 Fife?
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.
What maintenance does an access control system need?
One or two service visits a year for most commercial sites. Each visit should cover door-by-door inspection, lock and release testing, fire interface verification, battery and power checks, and a user-list review, with a written report you can give your fire risk assessor.
Can access control be linked to CCTV?
Yes, where both systems support a common integration. Every door event gets a matching video bookmark, so instead of scrubbing hours of footage you click the event and watch it. We check compatibility at survey before anything is ordered.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
