 Removes the need for keys

Business premises and many new homes now have some form of access control and offer keyless entry, offering enhanced security and reducing insurance policies. Keys are being used less and less in favor of technology. We see and use intercom systems more frequently than ever before and even biometric finger scanners are the norm in many places.

We have a solution for every premise ad always design them bespoke to you and your requirements.

It allows you to choose the level of security you need and puts you in control of the access. Our systems start with simple solutions such as intercoms and progress through to biometric systems, it gives you peace of mind your security is right for you, your family and your premises.

Intercom systems are often used in block of flats and can restrict access into communal areas. These systems are now so clever they allow interaction with users and integrate seamlessly with other security systems at the premises. Meaning they are not standalone and work alongside Intruder alarms and CCTV systems.

For areas where a higher level of security is required, fingerprint readers are a popular choice. Front doors can have have a fingerprint reader lock, providing easy and convenient access to family members and those with permission without the need for a key.

All controlled from a desktop PC and without the need for cabling connecting the doors. The SALTO range of networked locks has many applications and in some cases it is as simple as replacing the lock cylinder.

The two lads upgrading the system have been absolutely brilliant. Their customer service skills are excellent – they accommodated every customer living in the building. They have done a really good job; they were very polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. Nothing seemed to be a problem to them. They are both a credit to Westmorland Fire and Security.”
