Shutters & security
Access control
Access control is keypad, fob and intercom entry for commercial doors. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
What you get
Access control lets staff in without keys walking out of the business, and tells you who came through which door. Electric operation can be by key switch, remote or both, with a manual override for power cuts.
Working with us
We start from how the premises will be secured when it is closed, then design the frontage around it. That way the shutter, the door hardware and any bollards all work as one plan rather than a patchwork.
Options and specification
- Fail-safe to your fire strategy
- Keypad, fob or card readers
- Audio or video intercom
How much do access control cost?
The entry price is about £950 plus VAT. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.
How long does it take?
Lead time is typically 1-2 weeks after survey. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.

Questions about access control
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does access control cost near me?
Access control start from around £950 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
