Every solution supports your operational needs and reduces manual oversight.
Our systems are ideal for commercial real estate access control across offices, mixed-use buildings, business parks, and health or education sites.
We combine hardware, software, and human expertise to deliver enterprise-level security control backed by nationwide service.
Safety is the top priority. Our systems are designed to integrate with your building's fire alarm panel to meet New Zealand Building Code requirements.
If the fire alarm triggers, specific doors (especially those with magnetic locks on escape routes) will automatically unlock to ensure safe evacuation. This "fail-safe" configuration is a mandatory compliance feature we test during installation.
Yes, mobile credentials are becoming the standard for modern offices.
Employees can install a secure app that uses Bluetooth or NFC to unlock doors by simply tapping their phone against the reader.
This saves money on purchasing plastic cards and reduces the risk of security breaches, as people are far less likely to share their phones than a spare key card.
Access can be revoked instantly.
Unlike physical keys, where you must wait for them to be returned or risk rekeying the building, access control allows you to log into your management software and disable the employee's specific credential immediately.
This prevents them from entering the building the moment they leave the premises.
Yes, many of the enterprise systems we install (such as Inner Range or ICT) can export entry and exit data.
This data can often be used by HR teams to verify attendance times, helping to verify timesheets and eliminate "buddy punching" (where one staff member clocks in for another).
This refers to how the lock behaves if the power is cut.
"Fail Safe" locks (like maglocks) unlock when power is lost, which is required for emergency exit paths.
"Fail Secure" locks (like electric strikes) remain locked from the outside when power is lost, keeping the building secure while still allowing exit from the inside via the door handle. We will advise on the correct setup for each specific door in your building.
