Access Control Watford
Access Control Solutions designs, installs and maintains access control and door entry systems for offices, flats, schools and homes across Watford, Bushey, Radlett and Rickmansworth. We are approved Paxton installers with over 20 years in the trade, and Watford jobs are booked in advance so you get a fixed date.
Access Control Systems in Watford
For any business with staff turnover, keys are a weak point. Access control replaces them with fobs, cards or PIN codes, and cancelling someone’s access takes seconds.
Fob, card and keypad access
We are approved Paxton installers and fit everything from a single keypad door to Paxton Net2 systems across office floors and multiple buildings. You can see who opened which door and when, set access by person, team or time, and make changes from a PC.
Networked access control
Office campuses and business parks around Watford often have several buildings and floors. A networked system lets you manage every door from one screen, see who went where and when, and lock controlled doors from a single point if you ever need to.
Door Entry Systems in Watford
With so many new apartment blocks around Watford Junction and the town centre, reliable entry systems are a big part of our work. We install Videx, BPT, Bell and Urmet audio and video intercoms for flats, offices and gated homes, including models residents can answer from their phone.
Access Control and Door Entry for Watford Schools
From busy primaries near the town centre to large secondaries and grammar schools, Watford’s schools all face the same challenge: keeping hundreds of pupils safe on a site that parents, visitors and contractors need to reach every day.
We start at the front door. A video door entry panel answered from reception means every visitor signs in at the office, in line with the Department for Education’s school security guidance. Staff use fobs or cards on internal and external doors, CCTV covers entrances and car parks, and an intruder alarm protects the building out of hours.
Planning for Martyn’s Law is sensible now. Schools where 200 or more people can be expected on site at once will need evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication procedures, and every school sits in the standard tier however large. The duties will not begin before April 2027, which gives time to put the right access control in place.

Access control and door entry repairs in Watford
Readers wear out on busy doors, locks lose their alignment and older entry panels start to fail. We service and repair access control and door entry systems across Watford, including systems another company installed. A planned annual service costs far less than an emergency call out.
CCTV and alarms from the same team
We also install CCTV and burglar alarms across Watford, so a camera can watch the main entrance while the alarm protects the building out of hours, all looked after by one company.

What our customers say
Access control in Watford: your questions answered
How much does access control cost in Watford?
It depends on how many doors you want to control, the locks they need and whether you want a standalone keypad or a networked system you manage from a PC. We give a fixed written quote after a site visit.
Can you add access control to our existing office doors?
Usually, yes. Most doors can take a reader and an electric lock, and we can start with a few doors and add more later on the same system.
Can a school lock its doors quickly in an emergency?
With the right access control, yes. Networked systems can lock controlled doors across the site from a single point, which supports a lockdown plan. We will talk through how it would work in your buildings and how staff would trigger it.
Do you install door entry systems for flats in Watford?
Yes. We fit audio and video door entry panels for apartment blocks around Watford Junction and the town centre, including systems residents can answer on their phone, and we repair and upgrade older entry systems too.
Can I let visitors in from my phone?
Yes, with the right system. Many of the door entry panels and access control systems we install let you see and speak to a visitor and open the door from an app, wherever you are.
