Access Control

Enhance Business Security with Protech Solutions' Access Control Installation Services

Protech Solutions: Your Access Control Experts

The benefits of an Access Control solution to your business or organisation cannot be underestimated. With a simple fob or card system, you will save costs in replacing lost keys and reduce security breaches with the potential copying of keys. An Access Control system gives certain people specific rights to chosen doors at particular times of the day. Every entry and exit is logged electronically, therefore adding to the security of the building. In addition, Access Control ensures that doors are locked all day and only opened with each entry to the building or room and will close automatically when the door is closed. 

As accredited Platinum Partners of Paxton Access Control, we will provide you with a first-class solution to secure your building.

Access Control Systems

Access control security systems enable you to control who has access to your building. Locks and keys also allow you to secure your building, but when keys are lost or stolen, the inconvenience and expense of changing locks and re-issuing keys can be considerable. Keys may also be copied, creating even more security risks.

Benefits of Access Control

Any business, whether small, medium or large, have assets that need to be protected from theft. There is also the issue of protecting staff and their property. It is common in buildings that are secured by locks and keys for doors to be left unlocked all day. This opens up the possibility of opportunist theft and malicious damage. Once an Access Control system is installed, doors controlled by the system will automatically lock when the door is closed.

Access Control Maintenance

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.
