What's Included
Our Access Control solutions
Biometric Access Control
Fingerprint readers that only let authorised people in — no cards to lose, no codes to share.
Card & Tag Entry Systems
Access cards and tags for staff, tenants and family, with instant revocation when someone leaves.
Keypad & Remote Access
PIN keypads and remote-operated gates and doors for controlled access without keys.
Intercom & Video Entry
See and speak to visitors before letting them in — audio and video intercoms for homes and businesses.
User & Permission Management
Set who goes where and when. Restrict sensitive areas to authorised staff only.
Integration with Gates, Doors & Time Clocks
Access control that works with your gates, doors, alarms and staff attendance systems.
POPIA-Ready Entry Records
Access control logs, visitor registers and biometric data all count as personal information under POPIA. We set your system up to collect only what you need, control who can see the records and keep the data safe. Complexes and estates get practical help with the Information Regulator's code of conduct for gated access.
Power Backup for Gates & Readers
There is nothing worse than a gate that will not open during loadshedding. We fit gate motors, controllers and door readers with battery backup so your access points keep working through power cuts, and we make sure the system recovers properly when the power comes back.
Access Planning & Site Audit
We go through your premises with you, door by door and gate by gate, and work out exactly which points need controlled entry, who should get in where, and which system suits the site. The plan comes before the hardware, so you are not paying for readers nobody uses.

What to Expect
Real jobs, honest expectations
Typical projects we handle
- Security estates and complexes with boom gates, pedestrian access and clubhouse doors
- SME offices where staff use tags or fingerprints on internal doors and the front entrance
- Warehouses and industrial yards with time-clock tie-ins and separate contractor access
- Freehold homes with automated gates, keypads and intercom entry from the gate to the front door
What affects the price
- Number of access points, since each door, gate or boom needs its own reader or controller wiring
- Type of credential, with biometric readers costing more than cards or tags and app-based access needing a network setup
- System size and software, because managing hundreds of users at a complex works differently to a ten-person office
- Cabling, intercoms and backup power, plus installation labour on existing gates and doors

FAQ
Access Control — common questions
Can access control work with my existing gate?+
Yes. We integrate biometric, card or keypad readers with your existing gate motor and doors.
Is biometric access control expensive?+
Not as much as people think, and it pays for itself in security and convenience. We give you a quote for your exact setup.
Can I restrict certain doors to certain staff?+
Yes. Our systems let you manage permissions per person — who can access which areas, and at which times.
Will my access control still work when the power is out?+
Yes, if it is installed with battery backup. Gate motors, door controllers and biometric readers all have backup options, and we fit them as standard on systems we install. That way a staff member with a valid tag can still get in during loadshedding and the gate does not get stuck halfway.
What happens to staff fingerprints and biometric data under POPIA?+
Biometric data is treated as very sensitive personal information. You need consent from staff, a clear reason for using fingerprints instead of cards, and proper security around the stored data. We flag this when we quote so you know what you are taking on, and we can help you put a simple consent and retention process in place.
Can I manage visitors and contractors with my access control system?+
Yes. Most modern systems let you create temporary tags or QR codes for visitors and contractors that expire after a set time, and the system keeps a record of when they came and went. That is especially useful for complexes, estates and businesses that have regular deliveries or subcontractors on site.
