Access Control Systems in Cambridge
Door entry that does not depend on knowing where every key is. We install fob, card and mobile access control across Cambridge premises, so permissions are granted per person and per door, and revoking someone's access takes seconds rather than a lock change.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every physical key handed out is permanent until the lock is changed, and nobody knows how many copies exist. One departure on bad terms turns into a locksmith bill for the whole building.
What you get
What we deliver
- Readers and locks specified per door, including fire-safe release on escape routes
- Permissions by person, door and time — contractors who work Saturdays only, and no further
- Access revoked instantly when someone leaves, without touching the hardware
- An audit trail of who opened what and when, retained for a defined period
- Mobile credentials where you would rather not manage physical fobs at all
- Integration with the leaver process, so building access and IT access end together

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what access control systems would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Access Control Systems in Cambridge — common questions
- What happens in a power cut or a fire?
- Escape routes must release regardless of power or system state — that is a fire safety requirement, not a configuration choice. Door hardware is specified fail-safe or fail-secure per door depending on its role, and that decision is made with your fire risk assessment rather than around it.
- Can we use phones instead of fobs?
- Yes. Mobile credentials remove the fob admin entirely, which suits sites with high staff turnover. Fobs still make sense for visitors, contractors and anyone who would rather not use a personal phone for work.
- Does the audit trail create data protection obligations?
- It does — a record of employee movements is personal data, so it needs a lawful basis, a retention period and staff being told it exists. Those come as part of the setup rather than as an afterthought.
- Can it link to our CCTV?
- Yes, and the combination is far more useful than either alone — an access event tied to footage at the same door turns an ambiguous clip into an identified one.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cambridge businesses do you usually work with?
- Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling. Beyond that we work across Technology, Life Sciences, Research, Higher Education and Biotech.
- Do you cover the areas around Cambridge?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Norwich, Milton Keynes, London, Northampton. Cambridge is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
