Customers benefit from expert advice, technical support, and integration with other security systems. 

Readers

Readers for access control systems are devices that verify credentials like key cards, fobs, or mobile passes to grant or deny access. They connect to a control panel or system and are commonly used in offices, buildings, and secure areas. Many support technologies like RFID, NFC, or Bluetooth for fast, contactless entry.

Keypads

Keypads in access control are used to authenticate users by requiring them to enter a PIN or code to gain access to a secure area. They are a cost-effective and straightforward solution for controlling entry. They often include features like backlighting, weatherproofing, and multi-factor authentication.

Biometrics

Biometrics in access control refer to using unique physical traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, or voice recognition, to verify an individual’s identity. These systems offer high security by ensuring only authorised users can access restricted areas, eliminating the need for physical keys or cards.

Credentials

Access control credentials are tools or information used to verify an individual’s identity and grant access to restricted areas. Common types include key cards, fobs, PINs, and mobile devices. These credentials are linked to an access control system, which checks if the user is authorised to enter a specific location.

Controllers

Controllers in access control systems are the central units that manage and process access requests. They connect to readers, keypads, and locks, making decisions based on credentials and system rules. Controllers ensure secure entry, log activity, and often integrate with broader security systems.

Barriers & Turnstiles

Barriers and turnstiles in access control systems physically regulate entry by allowing only one person through at a time after valid authentication. Common in high-traffic or secure areas, they enhance security, prevent tailgating, and integrate with readers or biometric systems for controlled access.

Locks

Locks in access control systems are electronic or electromechanical devices that secure doors and release upon receiving valid credentials. They work with controllers, keypads, or readers to ensure only authorised access, and come in various types like electric strikes, magnetic locks, and smart locks.

RTE/Call Points

RTE (Request to Exit) Reset Break Glass Units and Call Points are emergency safety devices. Break glass units allow users to manually trigger an exit or alarm by breaking the glass, while call points enable emergency door release or alert activation ensuring safe and quick evacuations in emergencies.
