Access Control & Security Systems
MTSG designs, installs and maintains access control systems for domestic, commercial and industrial properties, including electronic door entry, locking, access credentials, intercoms, networked systems and integration with CCTV, intruder alarms, fire alarm systems and electrical infrastructure.
Proximity & Key Fob Systems
Installation of proximity readers, key fobs and smart cards for electronic door access across main entrances, internal offices and shared areas.
Biometric Access Control
Where specified for particular security requirements, fingerprint or facial recognition scanners can be integrated into the access control installation.
Video Intercoms & Door Entry
Audio and video door entry systems enabling staff or residents to verify visitors at gates or entrance doors before releasing electric locks.
Networked Access Control
Centralised management platforms allowing administrators to manage user permissions, schedules and access logs across single or multiple doors.
Electric Locking & Hardware
Specification and installation of electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, request-to-exit devices, exit buttons and door position monitoring.
Fire Alarm Integration
Interfaces linking access control and electric locking systems with fire alarm panels to support emergency egress and safety requirements.
Systems & Manufacturers We Install and Support
Designed for Reliable Security
Access control systems require careful planning, installation, testing and maintenance from the outset.
Every installation focuses on correct door hardware selection, locking arrangements, access readers and credentials, power supplies, network infrastructure, fire alarm interfaces, cable routing, containment, device positioning, system configuration, testing, commissioning and maintenance.
Access Control Process
Our structured approach ensures every installation is planned, executed and tested to professional standards.
Initial Assessment
Review the property, doors, existing locking arrangements, access requirements and any existing security or fire alarm systems.
System Design & Specification
Determine the appropriate readers, credentials, locking hardware, control equipment, power supplies, networking and required interfaces.
Installation & Integration
Install the equipment, cabling, containment, locking hardware and control equipment, then integrate with other systems where required.
Testing & Commissioning
Test the access control system, locking arrangements, door monitoring, emergency release functions and system configuration before handover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Behaviour depends on the locking hardware and system design. Fail-safe or fail-secure arrangements are selected according to the door, security requirements and emergency egress requirements.
Access control can be interfaced with a fire alarm system where required, allowing appropriate locking arrangements to respond to a fire alarm and support emergency egress.
Yes. Integrating access control with CCTV allows system events, such as door forced or door held alarms, to trigger camera recordings or direct camera views on security monitors.
Networked access control systems allow administration of single or multiple doors across a property from a central management platform or software application.
Administrators can issue new credentials, assign access levels by time and area, or revoke lost fobs and cards through the management software.
Yes. Access control readers, intercoms and credentials can be fitted to vehicle barriers, automated gates, pedestrian turnstiles and external perimeter doors.
