Frequently asked questions
How much does access control installation cost in Merton?
A single-door fob or keypad system typically costs £400–£800 installed. Audio and video door entry starts around £350–£700, and multi-door office systems run £600–£2,000+ depending on doors and credential types.
What credential types can we use?
Key cards, fobs, PIN codes, biometrics and smartphone credentials. Most systems support a mix, so staff can use their phones while visitors receive temporary codes.
Is access control suitable for flats and HMOs in Merton?
Yes — video door entry with fob access is our most common installation for blocks of flats and HMOs, giving residents secure entry and landlords a full audit trail.
Does access control integrate with CCTV and alarms?
Yes. We routinely link access control with CCTV and intruder alarms so every entry event is logged alongside matching camera footage.
