I don’t normally write reviews. However Shane our engineer went above and beyond to rectify a situation which was due to a third party supplier.
Having waited for weeks to have a part manufactured - the company sent Almas the wrong part.
Shane could have walked away from the job and waited for a correct part to arrive. (possibly weeks later)
His can do attitude was great ! Rather than letting us down, he thought outside the box, found a solution for the problem and proceeded to fit the new part!
Thanks Shane it was really appreciated.

FAQs

We are here to help

Here are some of the most common questions that our customers ask about access control solutions

More FAQs for Access Control

Simply, it depends on your site, the usage and the flow of people and vehicles. Almas’ Security Audit will identify, with you, which system will be most effective and secure for your site.

From video door intercoms, fob and card readers, to face scanners, vein and fingerprint readers, we will design and install the best access control system for your business’ needs.

They aren’t free and they vary wildly depending on system, size and complexity of installation, manufacturer, quality and software, from hundreds to thousands.

What you don’t want is a poor quality access control system that’s easy to hack and where your site and users’ data won’t be secure.

We have monthly and outright purchase plus maintenance options to suit almost all budgets and costs start from £59 per month.

Almas Industries understands that investing in security can be costly for enterprises. We provide numerous payment choices to meet your financial circumstances, making these advanced security measures more accessible.

Our financing solutions make it possible to stretch the cost of your security and related services over time, making them more reasonable for enterprises of all sizes. Because of our customised solutions and commitment to customer satisfaction, you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment in an access control solution is not just an effective security precaution but also a financially affordable one.

Leasing vs Outright Purchase

We work with outright purchase +/ – maintenance and leasing models. Leasing allows you to spread the cost of your access control system and also wraps maintenance into the monthly payments. Investment in your business’ future proofing of security can also sometimes fall under capital expenditure with related tax allowances.

Access control is only effective if it’s operational! We recommend that our customers choose a maintenance plan and have bronze, silver and gold levels of support contracts for outright purchasing customers.

Contact our team of security experts to discuss the best payment plan for your company and begin reaping the benefits of advanced security today.

Any electronic system where personal data is stored is covered under the UK GDPR.

Any new system installation should be preceded by a privacy impact assessment, and your data protection policy should be updated. Good communication with and an explicit opt in in the case of biometric access control is best practice. You can read more about data processing here

The core benefit of an electronic access control solution is that it ensures your business is secure and that only the right people can gain access to the right areas at the right times.

A reliable access control system eliminates the threats presented by uncontrolled entry points, unauthorised access to sensitive locations, and unsupervised visitor access.

A great access control solution also improves user experience and increases efficiency because it fits the specific needs of your business. It works with the flow of people, vehicles, information and goods through your business to give you greater control, accountability and safety.

There are two options for power outages

‘Fail Secure’ means the back up battery kicks in and keeps the door locked and usable. The battery usually lasts for up to 8 hours, unless there is significant force applied consistently against the door in which case it may be lower.

‘Fail Safe’ means that the doors automatically release so everyone can exit the building easily.

Absolutely, our cloud based Optima software allows for effective multi-site management and the Optima Intelligence dashboard shows you all your sites clearly. There’s even an integration to Power BI if you want to aggregate reporting.

It’s going to depend on the complexity of the installation and fabric of your building and infrastructure.

A simple one door installation would take less than a day. A multi-building, complex project with access control, CCTV and anti-intrusion will obviously take weeks or months. If you’re undergoing a phased build of site, then we will work to your schedule.

When your local Security Consultant attends your site, they will tailor the gates and door entry system to the needs of your site and be able to give you a relatively accurate timescale for installation. We’ll never be definitive on installation because when the engineers get on site they may uncover issues that aren’t immediately evident. If you’re working to a particular or urgent timescale just let us know when you enquire and we will work with you to get you safe, secure and protected asap.

Yes, our solutions are designed to evolve as our customers businesses grow. Add additional readers on the same site, or add additional sites for an overview of your whole estate. Mix and match different types of access control reader according to security and accessibility needs within a site. All with the reassurance and peace of mind that your security is our lasting commitment.
