Access Control Solutions We Provide
Keypad Entry Systems
Keypad entry systems allow authorised users to enter a PIN code to unlock a door, eliminating the need for a physical key on that entry point. Keypad locks are popular for residential and commercial applications where frequent key distribution creates logistical or security challenges — such as rental properties, offices with shift workers, or businesses that regularly need to change access codes. We install and program keypad locks for all types of commercial and residential doors.
Electronic & Card Access Systems
Card access systems use proximity cards, key fobs, or electronic credentials to control entry at one or more doors. These systems are particularly well suited to commercial environments where different employees need different levels of access, where audit trails of entries and exits are needed, or where the ability to instantly revoke access for a departed employee is important. We advise on, supply, and install electronic access control systems scaled to your specific commercial requirements.
Keyless Entry for Residential Properties
Keyless entry locks — including touchscreen and fingerprint models — provide the convenience of entry without a physical key while maintaining strong security. We carry and install keyless entry hardware for residential properties, including products from Schlage that integrate convenience with the high-security lock quality that Benson's Lock Service recommends.
Access Control Integration
For commercial clients with more complex needs, we can discuss access control systems that integrate with your existing security infrastructure—covering multiple entry points, providing audit trail capability, and allowing centralized management of user credentials. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements, and we will advise on the most practical and cost-effective solution.
Frequently Asked Questions — Access Control
What is the difference between a keypad lock and a full access control system?
A keypad lock is a standalone lock with an integrated PIN pad that replaces the traditional keyed cylinder on a single door. A full access control system uses electronic hardware, a central management platform, and credential-based entry (card, fob, or PIN) to control access across one or more doors with the ability to manage users, set schedules, and generate entry reports. Keypad locks are ideal for single-door applications where simplicity is the priority; full access control systems are better suited to commercial environments with multiple entry points and user management needs.
Can I still use a physical key with a keypad or electronic lock?
Many keypad and electronic lock models include a physical key override, which provides a backup entry method if the battery dies or the electronic system fails. This is a feature we recommend for most applications, as it ensures you are never entirely locked out due to a technology failure. We will make sure to highlight this feature when recommending specific products.
Can access control be installed on existing commercial doors?
Yes, in most cases. Electronic access control hardware can be retrofitted to existing commercial doors with standard lock prep. The specific hardware required depends on the door type, frame, and existing hardware. We assess the installation site before recommending a solution to ensure the right product is specified for your doors.
