Access control Systems

From financial and corporate environments to secure research facilities, access control monitors unauthorised entry to keep equipment, buildings, and people safe.

A Plus Security specialises in a broad range of access control solutions to fit your individual requirements - from conventional basic technology to highly intelligent fully integrated systems. We design, implement, and provide first-class post-project support, working with you from start to finish to assess and fulfil your security challenges.

Types of access control systems:

AUTOMATIC DOOR SYSTEMS (A.D.S.)

Our fully automated door entry and exit systems will assist you in returning to work. With our top of the range systems opening and closing automatically when a person approaches the door.

These can be linked to existing access control and intercom systems for security externally and release automatically via a sensor internally.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE BENEFITS FROM HAVING AN AUTOMATIC DOOR SYSTEM:

HANDS FREE HYGIENE CONTROL

The hands-free operation of automatic doors offers an optimal solution where sanitation is essential. Automatic doors can serve an essential purpose in all environments to help minimise the transmission of harmful viruses which could spread through the touching of contaminated push plates and door handles.

ENERGY SAVING

Automatic doors effectively contribute to energy saving and reduce annual heating and cooling costs. Doors open only when activated and automatically close so to eliminate the doors being left open. They also prevent air-conditioning from escaping and outside air and dust from entering.

ACCESSIBILITY

Since automatic doors can be opened without the use of hands, they offer convenience to everyone even with baggage in both hands and carrying a cart. Automatic doors are widely used at high traffic places like commercial buildings, hotels and public facilities to show care and good customer service. Automatic doors also provide excellent customer service by allowing everyone enters easily, regardless of their ages or physical capabilities.


INTERCOMS ACCESS CONTROL

Intercoms provide a convenient way to grant authorised access, by allowing a means of two-way communication prior to entry.

Vital for apartment blocks, vehicle, delivery entrances, or high security areas, intercom systems offer peace of mind to residents and individuals.

What are the benefits of an intercom system?


24/7 operation - Intercoms offer a flexible and cost-effective alternative to hiring security personnel. For sites that requires 24-hour access, intercoms can reduce, or replace the need all together for physical security.

Provide internal access control - Traditionally viewed as an external way of gaining access, intercoms can also be used for indoor settings, on wards for example, to prevent unauthorised access outside of visiting hours.

Improved communication - Unlike a key card or fob which can easily be exchanged, intercoms allow individuals to vet out a person before the site entrance, choosing whether or not to grant access. Intercoms are also efficient in fast-paced, high footfall or expansive sites, where an individual may need quick assistance, but has nobody in immediate distance to ask.


Control who comes and goes using state-of-the-art technology digital keypads, proximity or swipe card readers, on a timed or 24-hour access for all or individual staff. Audio and video door entry systems can be fully integrated with CCTV and Intruder Alarms, for all-around protection.

For higher-risk buildings, advanced features can be implemented to maximise security, including biometrics, intercoms, visual mapping, mobile phone credentials and more.


What type of access control system do I need?

Determining which type of system is needed varies across each project. By conducting a site survey, and liaising with you on your individual requirements, we’ll assess the critical areas of the building, its aesthetics, and the level of technology that would suit the premises to decide on the best suitable system.

Can an access control system be fitted onto any type of door?

Access control systems can be installed on to almost any type of door. From glass, steel and wood to high security and listed doors, there is a solution for all.

Will there be much disruption during the process

Disruption can vary depending on the type of system being installed. If the installation is made up of mainly wireless devices, then the disruption will be kept to a minimum. If the installation is of a more traditional setup, then there will be the need to run cables and utilise more hand power tools to mount devices.

Can our requirements fit our budget

Yes. There are many different combinations of devices that make up an access control system, in addition to different manufacturer pricing structures, so installing a system can be made feasible on a tight budget.

What our
clients have to
say about us

A Plus provides an excellent return on investment, not just through the solution installed, but the general experience they offer from pre-install to post-install and right through to the maintenance of the system. We knew we had made the right decision with A Plus as they offered a comprehensive and detailed proposal and project plan. The skill level of their engineers was a pleasant surprise with their knowledge of IT and networks, as well as electronic security, which made dealing with our internal IT team very smooth. Apart from that, the fact we never had to chase them for anything was a very nice surprise!

International Group of Schools

We chose A-Plus Security to carry out the upgrade of our electronic security systems for our 9 colleges and they have far exceeded our expectations in their approach to the projects. We are a UK wide organisation where the planning and mobilising of these major project around term times is time critical and A Plus Security have been nothing short of fantastic in the communication, there design proposals, openness to last minute changes, pre and post-sales support and their management of 3rd party companies and IT services. We would highly recommend A Plus Security to any organisation who are looking to install or upgrade their systems.

Nationwide Groups of Colleges

A Plus Security exceeded all expectations, following a late award of the contract due to a different contractor pulling out. All fire and security works were completed when requested and signed off on finish, with no issues noted. We have continued working with A Plus on following projects and would fully recommend them.
