Access Control Systems

At D.R. Electrical, we install tailored access control systems that play a crucial role in enhancing building security and controlling access within commercial premises. We can install a wide range of door access solutions, from single/multiple door entry kits to specialist whole-site installations integrated into server networks with various access options. We are an approved Paxton installer and can create a safer and more secure environment for your business.

Choosing The Right Door Access System

Choosing the right door access system involves several key factors. First, consider your business’s specific security needs, including the number of entry points and the level of access control required. Then, consider factors like the size and layout of your premises and any unique security challenges.

Evaluate the different types of access control systems available, such as keypad entry, card readers, biometric scanners, or key fobs, and select one that best fits your requirements and budget.

It is also important to consider the scalability and flexibility of the system to accommodate future growth or changes in security needs.

Installing Door Access Systems

We assess optimal placement for access control panels, wire them for connectivity, and ensure a stable power supply.

If existing security systems like CCTV or alarms are present, we integrate the door access system for comprehensive security.

After hardware installation, we customise the access control system to your needs by setting user access levels, configuring entry schedules, and thoroughly testing functionality.
