Access Control Systems

Gardner Security is now part of Christie Intruder Alarms Ltd (CIA) and trades as such. CIA is the most recognized and well respected security brand in the South and installs access control in West Sussex, Hampshire and throughout Berkshire, Dorset, East Sussex, Surrey and in Wiltshire.

Access control permits authorised users to enter and move around a building where there is a need to control access. This can be as simple as a door entry system such as we are all familiar with - pressing a button and the door catch being released - from simple code punch locks and DDA compliant equipment right up to complex multi-level systems that control individual access rights and provide management information, such as time-stamping a user's arrival/departure time.

Electronic Access Control

Gardner Security offer several electronic solutions, including:

Hands free equipment

Proximity or swipe cards

Standalone or PC controlled systems

Systems integrated with fire alarms, intruder alarms and CCTV

Master Suite Key Systems

A simple master suite key system can control access to all areas of a building ensuring that only authorised key holders can access specific points.

A master key system can greatly reduce the cost of supplying staff with large bunches of keys to access their designated area of a building.

With careful planning and design a large commercial building (or multiple building site) can be accessed with a single key for management or security whilst individual staff can be issued with a single key to open and access their own office or workstation.

Working closely with architects, customers, designers and agents, Gardner Security design and build a wide range of master suite key systems.

Each system is designed to achieve the end users requirements, so that the systems is practical and user friendly whilst ensuring ease of use on a daily basis.

Master Suite key systems also ensured that only the authorised key signature can obtain copy keys due to a patented key section.
