Our access control Services
At Mitie Fire & Security, we design, install and maintain intelligent access control systems that protect buildings, people and sensitive areas – while keeping movement smooth and secure.
- Key card and key fob door entry systems
Simple to use. Secure by design.
A key card entry system allows authorised users to tap or swipe for access, making it ideal for offices, education settings and commercial premises.
A key fob door entry system offers the same secure functionality in a compact, durable format – suited to industrial sites and high-traffic environments.
Both options integrate easily with wider access control systems and can connect to CCTV and intruder alarms for a joined-up security strategy.
- Integrated control within your security systems
Access control works best when it’s connected.
By integrating door entry systems with CCTV and intruder alarms, you gain:
- Real-time verification of access events
- Automated lockdown capability

What is an access control system?
An access control system manages and restricts entry to a building or specific areas within it.
Instead of traditional locks and keys, electronic door access control systems use secure credentials to grant or deny access. These credentials can include:
- Key card entry systems
- Key fob door entry systems
- PIN code access
- Biometric authentication
- Mobile app credentials
Access is logged, permissions can be changed instantly, and lost credentials can be deactivated without replacing locks.
Smarter security. Less risk.
Door access control systems for stronger protection
Physical keys can be copied. Shared. Lost.
Door access control systems remove that uncertainty.
We design systems that allow you to:
- Restrict access by role or department
- Set time-based permissions
- Control high-security areas
- Track entry and exit activity
- Instantly revoke access when required
Whether you need a simple door entry system for a small office or a fully integrated solution across multiple buildings, we deliver reliable control without slowing down daily operations.
Why invest in professional access control?
Because visibility reduces risk.
A professionally installed access control system helps you:
- Prevent unauthorised entry
- Protect sensitive information and assets
- Manage staff and visitor access
- Reduce reliance on physical keys
- Improve audit trails and reporting
Security shouldn’t rely on trust alone. It should rely on control.
