Griffiths Security & Smart Technology Ltd install, repair and maintain access control systems for businesses, schools, offices, flats, industrial sites, gated entrances and commercial premises across South Wales.
Access control helps you manage who can enter a building, room, gate or restricted area. Instead of relying only on traditional keys, a system can be designed around how your site is used, who needs access and how visitors, staff, residents or contractors should enter.
We can support a range of access control requirements including fob entry, card access, keypad entry, door entry systems, intercoms, electric locks, controlled doors and gate access control.
Fob and card entry systems are a practical way to manage access for staff, residents, visitors and contractors. They are commonly used for offices, schools, flats, shared buildings, staff entrances and commercial premises.
If a fob is lost or a user no longer needs access, it can usually be removed from the system without replacing locks or issuing new keys across the whole site.
Keypad access control can be used for controlled doors, gates, store rooms, staff areas, workshops and shared entrances. Codes can be changed when required, giving more flexibility than a standard mechanical lock.
Keypads can be used as a simple standalone option or as part of a wider access control system depending on the level of control required.
We install and support audio and video door entry systems for offices, flats, schools, commercial buildings and gated entrances.
Door entry and intercom systems allow staff, residents or authorised users to identify visitors before granting access, helping to reduce unwanted entry and improve day to day security.
Access control can also be used with automated gates, vehicle entrances and barriers. This can include fob readers, keypads, intercoms, remote release, visitor entry and controlled vehicle access.
Gate access control should be designed around how the entrance is actually used, including staff access, visitors, deliveries, residents, vehicles and site safety requirements.
Access control systems can be suitable for many different sites, including workplaces, blocks of flats, schools, warehouses, workshops, offices, care settings, farms, industrial units and shared buildings.
A well designed system can help improve security, reduce unauthorised access, simplify key management and provide better control over who can enter different areas of a building or site.
Depending on the requirement, access control can be kept simple or combined with other security systems such as CCTV, intruder alarms, intercoms and gate automation.
Suitable for smaller premises, staff entrances, internal restricted areas, store rooms and simple controlled access points.
Suitable for larger buildings where different users may need access to different doors, departments, offices or restricted areas.
Access permissions can be updated as staff, residents, contractors or users change, reducing reliance on physical keys.
Every site uses access differently. A school, office, block of flats, warehouse, farm, workshop or gated entrance will each have different requirements.
We can advise on a suitable setup based on how people move around the site, who needs access, how visitors are managed and what level of control is required.
The aim is to provide a system that is secure, practical and suitable for day to day use, rather than making access more complicated than it needs to be.
Where electric locking is used, the system also needs to be considered properly around safe exit, emergency release, fire alarm requirements and how the building is used.
We provide fault finding and repairs for existing access control systems. Common issues can include faulty readers, damaged keypads, doors not releasing, intercom faults, lock failures, power supply problems and user management issues.
Where possible, we will aim to repair existing equipment. If a system is unreliable, outdated or no longer suitable, we can advise on practical upgrade options.
Regular maintenance can help identify problems before they become disruptive, especially on busy doors, shared entrances, commercial sites and systems that are relied on every day.
Maintenance can include checking readers, locks, door releases, power supplies, backup batteries, user operation and the general condition of the system.
We regularly support clients across South Wales, including Pontypridd, Cardiff, Newport, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf, the Vale of Glamorgan and surrounding areas.
Whether you need a new access control system, repairs to an existing system or advice on improving controlled entry at your premises, we can help assess the site and recommend a practical solution.
Alongside our local work across South Wales, we also support national companies with access control installations, upgrades and maintenance for larger commercial sites, industrial premises and multi-site projects.
This can include planned works, site upgrades, gate access control, door entry systems, intercoms, fob entry, controlled doors and wider security projects where a reliable and experienced provider is required.
Griffiths Security are an established security company based in South Wales, supporting domestic, commercial and larger site security requirements.
We understand that access control needs to be more than just secure. It needs to work properly for the people using the building every day. That means considering the doors, users, visitors, deliveries, staff changes, emergency release requirements and how the system will be managed after installation.
Our access control work can also be considered alongside CCTV, intruder alarms, gate automation and wider security improvements where a more complete solution is required.
