Access Control Systems

    Chris Lewis access control systems are designed to regulate and manage the entry and exit of individuals or vehicles into specific areas. Our educational and commercial access control systems help to maximise on-site security, whilst maintaining convenient access.

    Access control systems have become increasingly advanced over recent years. At Chris Lewis Security we source and install everything from simple keyless entry systems through to advanced biometric identity verification systems.

    Access Credentials

    We can create access solutions that use authentication types ranging from simple PIN Codes, Fobs, or Key-cards, to smart phone credentials and advanced biometric access control systems.

    Standalone or Network

    Chris Lewis access security systems offer standalone and network solutions that can work with on-premise or cloud-based servers. The choice is yours depending on the specification. 

    Integration Specialists

    By combining access control with other security systems such as CCTV or with HR software, our access control installers provide integrated security solutions that do far more than simply grant or deny entry.
