Access Control Systems
Stop re-cutting keys every time someone leaves. Fob, code, or app-based access control, matched to a provider who can scale it as you grow.
The moment a business has more than a couple of staff, physical keys become a liability. Someone loses one, a former employee never hands theirs back, and the honest fix (rekeying every lock) costs more than most people expect. Access control swaps that problem for a system you can update from a laptop: revoke one fob, issue a new code, done in minutes.
For multi-tenant buildings and apartments, access control is often less about security theatre and more about knowing who's actually in the building, and being able to lock a lost fob out immediately rather than waiting for a locksmith. Cloud-based systems also give body corporates and facility managers a log of entry and exit times, useful if there's ever a dispute about who was on site.
Systems range from a single keypad on a back door to a networked system across multiple entry points with time-based schedules (cleaners in at 6am, staff from 8am, contractors only on Tuesdays). Tell us the scale of what you need and we'll match you with one provider who's set up systems like it before.
What's typically included
- Keypad, fob, swipe card, or smartphone-based entry
- Cloud-managed systems with remote add or revoke access
- Time-scheduled access for staff, cleaners, and contractors
- Integration with existing alarm or CCTV systems where possible
- Entry and exit logging for multi-tenant or high-traffic sites
- Scalable setups for businesses planning to add more doors or sites later
Frequently asked questions
What happens if someone loses a fob?
You, or your facility manager, deactivate it from the management app or portal in a couple of minutes. No rekeying, no calling a locksmith. That's the main reason most growing businesses eventually move off physical keys.
Can access control work with our existing alarm system?
Often, yes, though it depends on the age and brand of what's already installed. Your matched provider will check compatibility during the site visit rather than assuming, since a hard swap-out costs more than an integration in most cases.
Is this overkill for a small office of 5 people?
Not necessarily. Even a single keypad instead of a shared key cuts out the most common failure point: a key that never gets returned. Scale matters less than how often your team turns over.
