Access Control

The aim of the preventative maintenance is to primarily pre-empt any issues that occur with your existing access control and try to minimise the possibility of issues and failure in the future.

The planned service visits include visual inspections of all equipment, operational checks and cleaning, lubricating or adjusting, where necessary. 

The following equipment will be included in the inspection:

• Control Units
• Batteries – These should be dated at install and replaced every 3 years. Charging rate and capacity is also checked (as per regulation)
• Proximity Reader’s – Checking that the reader reacts as it should to both a valid and invalid card
• Exit Buttons – Checking that they are in good functioning condition
• Break Glasses – Ensuring that they have the relevant cover on them to discourage mis-use. Ensuring they provide a mechanical release in emergencies for the door. (as per regulation)
• Video Entry Phones
• Video Intercom Units
• Locks – Ensuring that locks function at their optimum level, misalignment of the magnets is a common issue, and adjustment of door closures is essential to prevent “slamming door” that often cause premature damage to the doors themselves.
• Software
• Firmware upgrades – Ensuring that the software is the latest release as often they contain important security updates and quality updates
• Event Log Errors – Reviewing any alarms created by the access control system such as reoccurring “mains failure”
• Fire relays – Reviewing the doors to see if they have an individual mechanical over-ride to unlock during a fire activation (as per regulation)
  
  

Following the service visit, you will be provided with a detailed report of any equipment that requires further attention or replacement.
