Access Control

NLS Security can help organisations of all sizes with their internal and external security by supplying an access control system. Access control systems essentially control where and when personnel can enter a site or area without the need for manual intervention.

Access control systems electronically secure doors and if needed gates, turnstiles and barriers to ensure personnel have admittance only to the areas they need in a large organisation or in an organisation where confidentiality is paramount.  Our access systems can be tailor-made to suit your organisations needs. Those with multiple sites may only have a few users accessing one entrance but at another site may have different entrances dedicated to different departments.

Systems are designed to allow different levels of access to a number of areas, i.e. certain pass holders have full admittance to all areas whilst other users can only access designated areas, e.g. administration staff can’t access the sites warehouse, warehouse staff can’t access the administration offices and of course senior management can have access to both areas. Access control systems can  be connected to one or more designated computers to provide management information such as event logs and enable users to edit the level of access personnel have and to void lost or stolen passes. The system can also be designed to be controlled remotely via Internet connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does access control work?

    The idea behind access control is to enhance security and effectively manage staff and visitor access at one or several sites.


    To gain access to a restricted area, users will need to have an access card or security pass. Without this, they won’t be able to enter the building or room.


    Though access control systems are often used on internal and external doors, they are incredibly versatile and can work on various entrances and exits (i.e. gates, elevators, garage doors, car park turnstiles, barriers, etc.)

  • What are the benefits of installing an access control system?

    More and more businesses are opting to install access control systems, and it’s not without good reason!


    Access control is a method of electronically limiting entry to specific areas and checking who enters and exits. It allows you to monitor staff – ensuring they are working when they are supposed to be. In the event of an accident or emergency, you’ll be able to account for everyone.


    Another great thing about access control systems is that they protect your business against unwanted visitors. Before a door or gate will unlock, the appropriate credentials need to be provided – making it difficult for unauthorised people to enter.


    Installing one of these systems will also make it easier for employees to access the areas they need to get their jobs done. What’s more, if staff work different hours, they can let themselves in with ease, without having to wait for someone to let them in.


    Something else worth noting about the access control systems we install is that they can be conveniently connected to multiple computers. You can control them via intercom systems and digital keypads, too.


  • How long does it take to install an access control system?
