Get advice for your property01Permissions, schedules & reportingGive people the access they need.
Depending on the selected system, options include access levels, time zones, free-access doors, anti-passback, roll call, time and attendance, and graphical interfaces.
These are system-dependent features. We help identify which functions are useful to your organisation before including them in the specification.
02Door hardware & integrationThe details that make the system work.
The range includes electric and magnetic locks, solenoid bolts and electric strikes, alongside the readers and controllers that manage them.
Fire and intruder system integration can be reviewed as part of the design. The suitability and operating requirements of the doors and connected systems must be assessed together.
03Lost cards & changing staffKeep permissions up to date.
On a centrally managed system, an administrator can disable a lost, stolen or broken card through the management software. The credential then stops providing access unless it is reactivated.
The available event records and alerts depend on the chosen system. Handover should include the procedures your administrators need for everyday management.
04Upgrade or maintain an existing systemRetain what is useful.
Aegis can assess existing access control equipment, maintain suitable systems and advise on upgrades. New technology is considered where it helps meet the requirements.
Share the current system details, number of doors and any issues you want to resolve when contacting the team.
Whichever system you choose, our experience engineers can offer full installation, as well as maintenance packages designed to suit you.

Frequently asked questions
Have something specific in mind?
Talk it through on 01206 323900.
What is access control?
Access control refers to a system that is used to permit access to authorised people and restrict unauthorised access. Credentials may include a card, fob, code or another method supported by the chosen system. Typically it is used by employers to secure their buildings where employees use a key card or fob to gain access.
What happens if a card or fob is lost?
On a managed system, if a card or fob is lost or stolen, an administrator can disable the card through the management software. The card cannot be used in the system (unless reactivated) and any further attempted use can be alerted to the administrator. Please note, the exact process may vary depending on the installed system.
Can different people have different access?
Yes, suitable systems support access levels and time schedules. We can help plan which users should have access to which doors and when.
Can it work with fire alarms or gates?
Integration may be possible and is reviewed during design. Compatibility and the operating requirements of the connected equipment determine the approach.
Can you take over an existing system?
We can assess the equipment and condition, then confirm the maintenance and upgrade options. Share any system make, software and door details you have.
How does the system work?
The hardware is installed at the door and wired into a controller. The controller checks permissions or schedules and manages the door hardware. The administrator of the system has a user interface to configure system settings, schedules, authorised people and view information about current and historical system state.
