What we do

Door Access Control for businesses & organisations.

Door Access Control systems are an essential tool for any business or organisation that wants to maintain strict control over who enters their premises. These systems regulate access to your building, providing a secure environment for staff, customers and visitors.

Whether you’re looking to secure a single entrance or an entire building, BLEC Group can provide a tailored solution to meet your specific requirements.

A range of security measures.

Access Control systems can be designed to incorporate a range of security measures so that only authorised personnel gain access. These measures can include:

Possible uses

Door Access Control systems have a wide range of possible uses. The most common include restricting access to specific areas of your building — such as server rooms, archives, or research and development areas — but the same system can be configured to control time-based access, restricting entry to certain times of the day or days of the week.

Access Control systems also pair powerfully with CCTV cameras, providing a comprehensive security solution where every door event can be tied back to a visual record of who was on site.

Tailored to your business

Door Access Control is essential for any business or organisation that wants to maintain a high level of security and control over who enters their premises. BLEC Group has the experience to design and install Access Control systems that meet the specific requirements of your business — whether you’re securing a single entrance or rolling out across a multi-site estate.

Why BLEC for access control

Designed around your business, not a one-size system

Six things that come as standard on every BLEC access control install — from a single door to a full multi-site estate.

Free site survey

An engineer visits to walk your building with you — identifying every door, every use case, and quoting a tailored solution.

Multi-credential support

Card, fob, PIN, biometric, or mobile — mix and match credential types per door and per user group to match the risk.

CCTV integration

Tie every door event back to a recorded video frame — full audit trail of who entered which area and when.

Time-based access

Restrict access by time of day, day of week, or shift pattern — cleaning crew only between 18:00–22:00, etc.

Fire alarm interlock

All electronic locks fail safely to open on fire alarm activation — wired and tested to meet life-safety requirements.

Easy user management

Add or revoke a user in seconds — when someone leaves the company, their access disappears across every door at once.

Can you secure just one door, or does it have to be the whole building?

Either. A lot of our installs start with a single critical door — server room, archive store, finance office — and grow from there. We design the central controller with capacity for future doors so you can scale without ripping anything out.

What's the difference between cards, fobs, biometric and PIN?

Cards and fobs are the most common — cheap to issue, easy to revoke. PINs work where you don’t want to issue physical credentials. Biometrics (fingerprint, facial) are for high-security doors where you need to be sure the credential is actually attached to the right person. Most systems mix and match — basic doors use cards, sensitive doors use card + PIN or biometric.

What happens during a fire alarm — do the doors lock people in?

No — every BLEC access control install is interlocked with the fire alarm system. When the alarm triggers, all electronic locks fail safely to the open position, allowing free egress on every door. We test this as part of commissioning and recommend testing it on every annual fire alarm service.

Can I see who entered which door, and when?

Yes. Every event is logged and time-stamped — granted access, denied access, door held open, forced entry. Most modern systems also support cloud-based user management and audit reporting, so HR or facilities can see in real time who’s on site, pull weekly reports, or investigate incidents after the fact.

What if someone loses their card or leaves the business?

The credential is revoked centrally and immediately — that one card or fob will no longer open any door. This is the killer advantage over physical keys, where a lost key effectively means changing every lock. With access control you just disable the credential and issue a new one.

Will the install disrupt the working day?

We work around your operating hours wherever possible — most door work happens early morning, late afternoon or weekends. For larger installs we phase the rollout door by door so the rest of the building keeps functioning normally throughout. Every site is different — we’ll walk you through the plan at survey stage.
