Access Control Systems
Access Control Systems allow you to manage who can go where in your buildings, protecting door entry and perimeter access, including pedestrian and vehicle gates. They provide you with complete control over who has access to your premises (or parts of your premises) and grounds and at what times. This enables you to protect staff and visitors, as well as to keep property, goods and information systems secure. Access control systems can be enhanced to provided density flow management (to help control the number of people in any given space) and temperature screening.
We design, install, service, maintain and repair access control systems across a wide range of commercial premises.

Networked Access Control Systems
Networked access control systems offer centralised control of your building from a PC. This means that commands given at the PC are sent to each of the doors or gates instantly, such as opening doors, barring tokens and building lockdown. Other benefits of this type of system are flexible control, allowing different permissions for individuals or groups of users.
Securus UK are a Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) certified installer for access control systems. You can confirm our SSAIB certification here.
Simple management
The Paxton Networked Access Control system is a great example of an easily scalable solution that can adapt to meet current and future needs.
The system can be extended easily and offers advanced features such as event reporting, energy saving and integration with CCTV and other systems for a versatile security and building management solution.
To make the management of any building simple, the software is intuitive and comes with a range of features that go beyond the simple basics of locking or unlocking doors.
Typical Access Control System Applications
Great for sites managing multiple access points, doors and users. For example…
Office buildings
Healthcare
Schools and Colleges
Residential Blocks
Industrial
Public Sector
Standalone Access Control
Standalone (offline) access control is the simplest way to secure and control access through doors around your building. If you want to step up security, protect your staff and assets and save money, then standalone access control is the solution.
Access is gained by using a PIN or electronic token on a simple access control keypad or reader, and there is no need for a PC or network. Unlike a networked system, a standalone system is programmed at each door, and you don’t have to secure every single door within your building, only those you wish to.
Simple management
User tokens can be added to the system in seconds, administration is straightforward and can be done in a matter of minutes. If someone loses their token, it can be simply barred from tsystem, which ensures that if the token was found later it cannot be used to gain entry and compromise the security of your buildings.
Typical Applications
Great for smaller sites with a relatively small number of users, for example…
Self-storage facilities
Healthcare
Industrial buildings

Customer Testimonials
Right from the outset I realised that Securus were large enough to skilfully spec, design and install our security systems, but small enough to care about me and treat us brilliantly. I suspect that is what most small business owners want.
They were super flexible always friendly and happy to adapt to our last-minute requests.
(Watch the video as Matt talks about his experience dealing with Securus.)

- What is the difference between Access Control and Door Entry systems?
What is the difference between Access Control and Door Entry systems?
With an access control system, the user has a keyfob, swipe card or access code to allow them to open a door, gate, or any kind of entrance. A door entry, or intercom, system has a panel at the entrance and the visitor can then talk to somebody within the property who can then decide whether to grant access via the entry system. Access control systems are typically used on sites which require automated management of the right of individuals to access specific areas of a site.
