Why Access Control Matters for Your Business

When it comes to access control systems, the meaning is simple: control who enters a space and when. Installing an access control system for your business ensures you have complete control over who accesses sensitive areas, protecting your property, your assets, and, most importantly, your staff from unwanted or malicious intruders.

By implementing an access control security system, you can reduce your business’s reliance on physical keys and outdated access methods, all while improving safety compliance and enabling you to monitor and manage your premises in real-time.

At Stalwart Security & Fire, we specialise in designing and installing standalone and networked access control systems. Our team of licensed and certified professionals works closely with clients to create systems tailored to meet the unique requirements of their space, providing solutions that fit both small businesses and large enterprises.

Types of Access Control Systems We Provide

Standalone Door Access Systems

Standalone Door Access Systems are generally made up of keypads and mag locks installed at each entry point. This system is ideal for smaller offices, shops, or locations where there is no need to track every person who accesses a locked area. It’s a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution for businesses looking for simplicity.

Networked Multi-Door Systems

Networked Multi-Door Systems are ideal for larger businesses, especially those with multiple locations. These systems connect all access points to a centralised hub, allowing for comprehensive control across the entire site or network of buildings. They provide scalable security, so you can add more access points as your business grows and easily monitor and control everything from one central location.

Biometric & Advanced Authentication

Biometric access control systems use advanced technology to grant entry, such as fingerprint and facial recognition. Other advanced authentication methods include PINs, cards, fobs, and mobile credentials. These solutions offer an extra layer of security for highly sensitive areas and help eliminate unauthorised access.

Access Control Installation & Integration

Initial Consultation

Every project begins with an in-depth consultation where we discuss your business needs, security priorities, and future plans. This is our opportunity to fully understand your objectives and ensure the solution is tailored to your organisation.

Site Survey & Audit

Our team carries out a detailed survey of your premises, taking note of all entry points, high-traffic areas, and sensitive locations. This audit allows us to identify exactly where access control is needed and which system configuration will work best.

System Design

With the information gathered, we design a custom access control system built specifically for your business. Every detail is considered, from the type of authentication (card, fob, PIN, biometric, or facial recognition) to how the system will scale with your company’s future requirements.

Professional Installation

Our PSA-certified engineers install your system with minimal disruption to your operations. We ensure every component is fitted correctly, thoroughly tested, and ready for day-to-day use.

Initial System Demo

On the final day of installation, we provide a short demonstration showing your team how to use the access control system. This gives staff immediate confidence in using the technology from day one.

Follow-Up Training

After you’ve had a week or two to work with the system, we return to deliver in-depth training. By this stage, your team will have had real-world experience with the system, which means they’ll have practical questions that we can answer fully.

Integration with Other Security Systems

Finally, we can integrate your access control with other solutions such as CCTV, fire alarms, intruder detection, and building management software. This creates a seamless, centralised platform that gives you complete oversight and control of your entire security infrastructure.
