"Sentinel is the passport for working on our network safely. Technology has moved on apace since we introduced Sentinel originally in 1999 and the opportunity to take advantage of smartcard and smartphone technology will take Sentinel to the next level and also provide us with benefits that we haven't seen before."

A more reliable, flexible and cost-effective way of securing your buildings. 

Remote lock and unlock services are the ideal way to secure your building. Our new innovative remote locking and unlocking service removes the need for physical attendance, increasing the reliability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of securing a premises out of hours.

You can be confident that the buildings you are responsible for are locked at the set time every day and unlocked ready for your employees to gain access.

Choice and flexibility to suit your business

Via the installation of a Tyco Security Products access control system and an ASDL connection that will enable the doors to be remotely locked and unlocked, you can choose the times that suit your business and you can even set different lock/unlock times for different doors in the building.

Following a site survey to confirm the type of door, internet access and access to power, we will install the Kantech access control system. Our specialist installation team will manage the whole process from checking the suitability of your doors right through to turning on the service. We are a security services company that specialise in remote unlocking and locking so you can rely on us to keep your premises secure at all times.
