What you get from working with us
Answer Your Door From Anywhere
Modern video entry rings your handset or your phone — so deliveries, cleaners and trades get let in whether you are upstairs or at work. For landlords, app answering means no more posting keys or waiting in for access.
Lost Fobs Stop Being a Crisis
A lost mechanical key to a communal door means changing the lock and cutting keys for every flat. A lost fob is cancelled in seconds and a new one issued for pounds. That difference is why blocks switch.
Built for London Blocks
Victorian conversions with two flats, mansion blocks with forty, new-builds with a concierge — we install and maintain entry systems across all of them, and we replace the obsolete panels other firms refuse to touch.
One Contractor, Door to Roof
Door entry rarely lives alone. We integrate it with access control, CCTV and fire systems — and because we maintain communal fire safety too, the door release logic on escape routes is specified correctly, not guessed.
Door Entry Systems We Install
Video door entry
See who is at the door before you release it. Panels with cameras at the communal entrance, colour monitors or app answering in each flat, and a log of every call. The standard we recommend for most blocks and HMOs.
Audio door entry
The classic buzzer-and-handset arrangement, still the right answer where budget leads and sightlines are good. Existing audio systems can usually be upgraded to video panel-by-panel without rewiring the whole riser.
Panel replacement
Vandalised, corroded or obsolete entrance panels replaced — often reusing the existing wiring and handsets. This is the most common job we do in central London mansion blocks, where original systems date back decades.
Fob and keypad entry
Fob readers on communal doors, bin stores, gyms and car parks — with lost fobs cancelled in seconds and an audit trail for the managing agent. Pairs naturally with the entry panel on the front door.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a door entry system cost in London?
Video door entry for a single dwelling typically costs £350–£700 installed. A video entry system for a block of up to 10 flats runs £1,200–£2,500, and larger or app-connected systems from £1,500–£3,000. Audio-only systems come in lower. Every job is surveyed first and quoted as a fixed price.
Can you replace just the entry panel, or is it a whole new system?
Often the panel alone can be replaced, or a new panel fitted that works with existing handsets. Where wiring is sound we reuse it, which keeps cost and disruption down. If the system is obsolete beyond repair we will say so and quote both options honestly.
Can tenants answer the door from their phones?
Yes. App-connected video entry lets residents answer from anywhere, grant access remotely, and see a log of who called. It suits blocks with short-term lets and landlords who need to give trades access without attending.
What happens to the door release in a fire?
Doors on escape routes are configured fail-safe — they release on power loss or fire alarm activation, as fire regulations require. Doors that are not on escape routes can be fail-secure with battery backup. We specify this door by door at survey, in line with the building's fire strategy.
Do you cover central London as well as the south?
Yes. Our office is in Summerstown SW17 and we work across Zones 1–3 daily — Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, the City fringe, and the whole of South and South West London including Wandsworth and Wimbledon.
Do you service door entry systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair and maintain most makes — including Paxton, Comelit, Videx, BPT and Urmet — and can take an existing system onto a maintenance contract alongside the block's other fire and security equipment.
