Proximity Fob & Card Readers explained
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.
The South Yorkshire sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.
Where it gets used across South Yorkshire
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.
What you actually get
- Printable staff and visitor cards where you need photo ID
- Encrypted MIFARE DESFire or equivalent credentials — not clonable legacy formats
- Slimline, keypad-combined or long-range reader options
Specifying it well
- Long-range readers suit vehicle entrances where drivers stay seated
- Order spare credentials at install; they are cheaper in a batch
- Insist on encrypted credentials — basic 125kHz fobs can be copied in a kiosk
How the job runs
The survey covers every door in scope: leaf and frame condition, existing hardware, power and cable routes, and whether the opening sits on an escape route. That produces a fixed written price, broken down per door so it can be compared honestly against anyone else's. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
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.

Proximity Fob & Card Readers in South Yorkshire — questions
Do you install proximity fob & card readers in South Yorkshire?
Yes. South Yorkshire 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 South Yorkshire?
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.
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.
