Professional access control panel mounting - your keypad, card reader, or entry system fitted securely at the correct height. Ready for your security company to wire and program.
Security Starts With Installation
Access control only works when properly installed. A wobbly panel or wrong height creates problems for users and looks unprofessional to visitors and staff.
💡 Pro tip: Mount at 1200mm to centre for accessibility compliance. Consistent heights across all entry points look more professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do the wiring too?
Basic surface mounting only - we secure the panel to the wall at correct height. Wiring and programming is usually done by security companies. We do the fixing part.
What about different wall types?
Brick, block, stud walls - all handled. Each needs different fixings. We come prepared for common wall types and assess on arrival.
Can you fit multiple panels?
Yes - common in offices with several entry points. Multiple panels at consistent heights look professional and work together.
Is there a specific height?
Standard is around 1200mm to centre - accessible for wheelchair users and comfortable for most adults. We can adjust to your preference or building requirements.
