Access Control Systems

An access control system lets you decide who can get through a door or gate, and when. We install and configure keypad, key fob, card and intercom systems on internal and external doors and gates for homes and businesses, from our base in Horwich, Bolton, across Bolton, Liverpool and the rest of Lancashire.

What we do

Access Control Systems We Manufacture & Fit

Key Fob & ID Entry

Controlled levels of access to your building, so staff get into the areas they need and nowhere else. A coded or ID system is a simple way to protect stock and restricted rooms.

Paxton Token & Card Systems

With the Paxton system, staff are issued electronic tokens or cards that open the controlled doors. If a card is lost, stolen or not handed back, it can easily be barred from the system.

Keypad Entry

Digital keypads for doors into blocks of flats, businesses and offices. Anyone with the code can get in without a key.

Intercom Systems

Identify visitors before you let them in. In commercial buildings, an intercom also helps different areas talk to each other.

Gate & Driveway Access

Intercom control on the front gate of a property, or key fob control for automatic driveway gates, so vehicles and visitors only get in when you let them.

Automatic Door Opening

Doors that open and close without physical effort, giving wheelchair and disabled access to the building.

Access Control For Security Doors, Shutters & Gates

Access control adds another layer of security to the doors, shutters and gates we already fit. A steel security door or roller shutter keeps intruders out; access control decides which of your own people and visitors can get in.

It can protect a home or business from the unwanted movement of people and vehicles, on internal doors as well as the way in from outside.

Cost

How Much Do Access Control Systems Cost?

The price of an access control system depends on what it has to control. These are the main factors. We give free, no-obligation quotes.

  • Factor 1

    Number Of Doors & Gates

    Each controlled door or gate needs its own reader, lock and wiring.

  • Factor 2

    Type Of Entry

    A single keypad costs less than a networked fob, card or token system.

  • Factor 3

    Intercom

    Adding visitor entry by intercom adds handsets and wiring.

  • Factor 4

    Automatic Opening

    Fitting automatic door openers adds to the cost of the access system.

  • Factor 5

    The Doors Themselves

    Some doors need new locks or frames before they can take access control.

“From measure to install Finch Group made the whole job problem free to myself, allowing my business to continue trading without interruption. The shutter they installed also kept out some unwanted visitors over the Christmas period. Can't thank the team enough.”

FAQs

Access Control Systems: Your Questions Answered

The questions customers ask us most. If yours isn't here, give us a call.

What is an access control system?

A system that controls who can get into a building, or parts of it. People get in with a code, fob, card or token, or are let in by intercom, instead of using a key.

What happens if an access card or fob is lost?

With the Paxton system, a lost, stolen or unreturned token or card can be barred from the system so it no longer opens any doors.

Can you fit access control to gates?

Yes. We fit intercom control to front gates and key fob control to automatic driveway gates.

Do you fit access control for homes as well as businesses?

Yes. We fit systems for homes and businesses, on internal and external doors and on gates.

Can you fit automatic doors for disabled access?

Yes. Automatic doors open and close without physical effort, giving wheelchair and disabled access.

How much does access control cost?

It depends on the number of doors and gates, the type of entry, any intercom or automatic opening, and the doors it is fitted to. We give free, no-obligation quotes.
