Access Control Systems

It controls who can enter particular doors or areas. Depending on the system, you can also control when access is allowed. It’s useful when different people need different permissions, rather than everyone having a key to everything.

A door entry system helps you identify and admit visitors. Access control manages entry for authorised users, such as staff or residents. The two can work together when a building needs both regular access and visitor management.

Each suits different needs. Keypad access avoids carrying a token, proximity fobs are convenient, and fingerprint access avoids relying on something users can share. Consider everyday use, managing permissions and your budget. We offer all three approaches.

Yes, with a suitable system. Net2 supports access levels and time zones, so permissions can reflect someone’s role and working hours. For example, a contractor may need one entrance during an agreed period rather than unrestricted access.

With a managed system such as Net2, the lost fob can be barred and a replacement assigned. Report a loss promptly. It also helps to keep user records current, so you know which credential belongs to whom.

Yes, managed systems let you bar users. Make removing access part of your leaving process, alongside collecting keys and other credentials. If you use a shared door code, consider who still knows it when staffing changes.

Systems such as Net2 provide event logs that record credential use at controlled doors. These can help you review access activity. Keep in mind that a credential record alone doesn’t prove who physically walked through the entrance.

Yes. We offer options ranging from a single keypad to centrally managed systems. Start with the problem you want to solve: fewer keys, restricted stockroom access or easier management of changing staff. Complexity isn’t a benefit by itself.

The number of doors, reader type, locking hardware and management features all affect the price. Talk to us about your access control requirements, including who needs access and how you want to manage it. That gives us a better starting point than the door count alone.

That depends on the locking and release arrangement. Safe escape needs to be considered alongside security, including emergency release and any required fire alarm link. Ask for the proposed behaviour to be explained for each controlled door.
