Our Access Control & Intercoms

At CDS Security & Fire we ensure that we evaluate new advances in technology in order to ensure that our customers are always kept up to date with new developments that will benefit them and ensure a safe and secure workplace or home.

Access control systems provide homes and businesses with an effective deterrent against criminals walking into offices, driving into buildings or vandalising property in car parks, while still allowing and controlling authorised visitors and employees to circulate freely.

Access control comes in many forms, from audio intercoms to video entry systems, proximity card or keypad wall readers, biometric fingerprint systems to wire-free technology including electronic handle sets, GEO cylinders, access controlled padlocks, panic bars and locker locks.

Unlike locks and keys, access control can offer you more functionality by integrating with other systems such as CCTV, Intruder and Fire Alarms for a complete solution.

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. Installing an access control system means that you will never have to change a lock again and offers a secure, convenient, flexible and cost-effective way of controlling who has access to your building and when that access is allowed.

Whatever your requirements, CDS Security & Fire can advise you on the right technology for your needs and create a bespoke solution to enable you to define granular access criteria and prevent unauthorised access to your home, company assets, business-sensitive data and employees’ personal possessions.
