Access Control

Control who enters, when, and how — safely and securely.
Access control is about more than just locking doors — it’s about managing who can access your building, where, and when. At VWS, we design and install tailored access control systems for commercial premises, housing associations, care facilities, and retail environments. Whether it’s a single door or a multi-site, multi-user solution, our systems are scalable, secure, and built around your specific operational needs. From keypad entry and fob systems to card access, intercoms, and mobile credentials, we help ensure that only the right people get access at the right time.
Every access control system we install is designed to meet the latest safety and compliance standards, with features like emergency override, fail-safe locking, fire panel integration, and audit trails. Our team completes a full site assessment before installation and provides clear documentation, training, and ongoing support. You’ll have the peace of mind that your system is doing its job — protecting your people, assets, and property — without creating unnecessary complexity.

Tailored Entry Solutions

No two buildings or clients are the same — and your access control solution shouldn’t be either. We design entry systems to suit the layout, usage, and flow of your site. That could mean standalone keypads for a secure store room, fob systems for care home staff, or full building-wide smart access integrated with CCTV and auto doors. Our team takes a practical, problem-solving approach — giving you full control without overengineering the solution.

Integration With Other Systems

Access control works best when it’s part of a connected system. That’s why we design ours to integrate seamlessly with your CCTV, intruder alarms, fire detection, and automatic doors. From a single management dashboard, you can track activity, monitor live feeds, and control permissions in real-time. Whether for compliance, safety, or convenience — integration gives you clarity and control.

Scalable & Flexible Platforms

As your organisation grows, your access control needs may change. We work with scalable platforms that can expand with you — adding users, doors, or even entire sites without ripping out what’s already there. Whether you need cloud-based management, time-controlled access, or zoned security levels, we’ll configure your system to flex with your needs.

Ongoing Support & Maintenance

Access control is only effective if it’s working — and kept up to date. Our support team provides regular testing, software updates, hardware servicing, and 24/7 reactive response if needed. Using our CAFM system, we log all maintenance, share inspection reports, and ensure your system stays fully functional, compliant, and reliable. We’re here to make access simple — and make your life easier.
