Market leading

Access Control

If you need complete authority over who gets into your buildings, a market-leading access control system is the solution.

No more worries for you about keys being copied, or codes being remembered, after staff members leave. You can have total jurisdiction over who has access to certain rooms and areas on your site – and even build in restrictions for different times of the day and night.

Solutions range from single door keypad entry through to intercoms, with or without video, and multi-door software-driven systems. We can also use biometrics – unique physical characteristics that can identify people, such as fingerprints and iris scans.

Key features of access control systems that we install and maintain include:

  • Setting up time zones so that access is only permitted at certain times or days
  • A record of who has entered each area, and when
  • Pass code entry or proximity tags for users, you select
  • People-focused benefits – no queuing to get in, people can get straight to work
  • Options to start small and upscale your system as your business grows
  • Integration with biometrics or CCTV systems
  • Asset tracking can be assigned to a user or a group of users so that high-value or important items can only move through a building with permitted users. It can also be used for finding where those assets are.

Tailored Door Entry Systems

The right access control system for your business, or organisation, can free your mind from security fears and provide greater convenience for visitors, customers and staff members.

We install a range of smart, fast and safe options for schools and colleges, financial institutions, laboratories, scientific buildings, hospitals, hotels, factories, construction sites and offices.

Different permission levels can be set for employees, contractors, visitors and customers and can update them whenever you need.

Talk to us about your sites and how you work. We’ll listen and then provide tailored options with a guarantee of aftercare to ensure you have peace of mind, all the time. We provide tailored options based on your needs, including our guarantee of aftercare, to ensure you have peace of mind, all the time.  Our expert engineers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We recently used JKE Fire and Security for our fire alarm inspection and emergency lighting checks, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and carried out the work thoroughly while explaining everything clearly.
