Access Control & Security Systems

What are the benefits of an access control system?

A modern access control system provides a range of security and operational benefits, including:

• Improved security by preventing unauthorised entry
• Controlled access to sensitive or high-risk areas
• Audit trails showing who accessed which areas and when
• Safer management of staff, residents or visitors
• Integration with fire alarms for automatic door release during an emergency
• A more professional, secure and efficient building environment

EPS designs access control solutions for everything from single-door systems to large multi-site networks, ensuring the right level of security for your building.

Will you help me determine what level of access control I need and how often does it need servicing?

Yes. EPS will assess your specific requirements by reviewing:

• Your building layout
• The fire strategy
• Insurance requirements
• Occupancy patterns
• Any security risks

From this, we design an access control system that is appropriate, compliant and tailored to your building’s needs.

Access control systems should be serviced annually or biannually, depending on usage and risk level. Regular servicing is especially important for systems linked to escape routes or fire alarm interfaces, ensuring doors release safely during an emergency.
