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 Surrey 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 Surrey applications
Offices, gyms, storage sites, laboratories, student accommodation and anywhere keys keep going missing.
- 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.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
Scope of works
- Instant cancellation of lost credentials from the management software
- 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
What to insist on
- 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
From first call to handover
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. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
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 Surrey — questions
Do you install proximity fob & card readers in Surrey?
Yes. Surrey 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 Surrey?
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.
