Access Control Systems in Reading
Door entry that does not depend on knowing where every key is. We install fob, card and mobile access control across Reading 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
Want this scoped for your business in Reading?
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 Reading — 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 Berkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
- Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Reading?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
