What is Access Control?

Access control systems are essential tools for securing your premises, allowing only authorised individuals to enter specific areas. Our door access control solutions employ cutting-edge technologies such as keypads, card readers, biometric scanners, and mobile credentials to ensure robust security and operational flexibility.

These systems are designed not only to enhance the security of your facilities but also to integrate seamlessly with your existing security setup, providing a streamlined and user-friendly experience. Whether managing employee access, controlling visitor entry, or securing sensitive areas, such as server rooms and secure offices, our access control systems deliver reliable protection and peace of mind.

What are the Different Types of Access Control?

Hover to read more!

Keypad - Access Control
Keypad Access
Commonly, a keypad entry setup includes a numerical keypad that interfaces with a door’s locking mechanism via a control unit. This configuration is often used alongside traditional lock-and-key mechanisms, providing an added layer of security.
Proximity-Access-Control
Proximity Readers
These systems allow access cards to be recognized without the need to physically touch the reader, which not only speeds up the entry process but also minimises wear and tear on the cards and readers.
Mobile-Access-Control
Mobile Access
By using a secure app, users can unlock doors with just a tap on their mobile device, combining convenience with robust security. Ideal for modern workplaces, this system eliminates the need for physical keys or cards, reducing the risk of lost or stolen access credentials.
Smartcard reader - Access Control
Smartcard Readers
These smartcards can securely hold access permissions and are easily integrated with other security features. The ability to store additional data on the same card offers seamless integration with broader security systems.
Biometric-Access-Control
Biometric Readers
Biometric access control offer the pinnacle of security by requiring verification of unique human characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial features. This method enhances security levels, as access is granted solely to individuals whose biometric data matches the stored profiles.
Hands-Free-Access-Control
Hands-Free Access
Hands-free readers utilise active cards that emit a signal to unlock or open doors when detected by a receiver. This system is particularly beneficial in compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), as it requires no physical action from the card bearer.

Biometric-Access-Control
Biometric Readers
Biometric access control systems offer the pinnacle of security by requiring verification of unique human characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns, for entry. This method significantly enhances security levels, as access is granted solely to authorised individuals whose biometric data matches the stored profiles. Ideal for high-security areas, biometric readers ensure that entry is personalized and virtually impervious to traditional forms of security breaches.
Hands-Free-Access-Control
Hands-Free Access
Hands-free readers utilise active cards that emit a signal to automatically unlock or open doors when detected by a receiver.

        Frequently asked questions - Access Control

        What is access control and why does my business need it?

        Access control systems allow you to manage who can enter your premises – and when. From office doors and internal zones to car parks and warehouses, access control improves site security, helps protect data and equipment, and supports compliance with safety and privacy regulations.

        What access control systems do you offer?

        We’re partners of Paxton, one of the UK’s most trusted access control manufacturers. We offer Net2 and Paxton10 systems that support smart cards, fobs, PIN codes, and mobile access – and can be scaled for everything from a single office to multi-site deployments.

        Can your access control systems integrate with our IT and security?

        Yes. We can integrate access control with Microsoft 365 logins – creating a joined-up approach to physical and digital security.

        Do you offer installation and ongoing support?

        Absolutely. Our engineers handle the entire process – from hardware installation and network cabling to system setup and staff training. Once installed, we continue to support you through remote monitoring, user management, and regular review meetings to ensure your system stays effective.

        Is this service suitable for small businesses or just larger sites?

        Access control isn’t just for big offices. We support charities, schools, warehouses, and professional practices with systems tailored to their size, budget, and compliance needs. Whether you need a single secure door or full building access management, we’ll design a solution that fits.

        How does ADM’s approach differ from security hardware vendors?

        Unlike pure security installers, ADM takes a holistic IT approach – integrating access control into your broader IT infrastructure, compliance strategy, and user management. We focus on long-term partnerships, not short-term installs, and provide ongoing support with no lengthy tie-ins.
