Access Control Systems Auckland

What Is Access Control?

Access control is the use of electronic hardware to manage who can enter a space and when. Instead of a physical key, entry is granted by a PIN code, a proximity card or fob, a smartphone credential, or a combination of these. Access can be granted or revoked instantly, permissions can be tailored to individual users, and every entry event is logged automatically.

This makes access control particularly well-suited to environments where multiple people require entry at different times, where there is a need to restrict certain areas to specific staff, or where a full audit trail of access events is required.

Access Control Solutions We Supply and Install

• Keypad entry systems – PIN-based access for single doors or multiple entry points
• Proximity card and fob readers – swipe or tap access using RFID credentials
• Magnetic locks (maglocks) – fail-safe or fail-secure depending on fire safety requirements
• Electric strikes and electric bolts – electronically controlled locking hardware for standard door frames
• Multi-door access systems – centralised control across multiple entry points within a building
• Intercom integration – video or audio intercom combined with electronic door release
   

SALTO KS

Cloud-managed standalone access control

Uses wireless smart locks paired with a cloud management platform — no on-site server or software installation required. Credentials are issued, modified or revoked instantly from any device via a web browser or mobile app. Supports RFID cards, mobile keys via Bluetooth, and PIN keypads. Real-time activity logs, door status alerts, and time-based access scheduling are all managed from a single online dashboard. Integrates with a wide range of third-party business software platforms.

Best for: Sites where access requirements change frequently, multi-location operations that need to be managed from a single dashboard, and facilities where the ability to issue or revoke credentials remotely is a priority — such as gyms, shared communal facilities, co-working spaces, and serviced offices.

SALTO SPACE

Server-based enterprise access control

A server-based platform for managing access across large buildings with many doors, users, and zones. Uses SALTO Virtual Network (SVN) technology, which writes access data to credentials rather than requiring every lock to be online — so battery-powered locks continue operating even if the network goes down. Supports real-time monitoring and audit trails, mobile access via smartphone, granular zone-based permissions, and emergency lockdown capability. Scales from a small installation up to thousands of access points across a single site or multiple buildings.

Best for: Large organisations and facilities with complex, multi-zone access requirements — including schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, office buildings, and industrial sites. Particularly suited to environments where different user groups need different levels of access across the same building, and where a full audit trail, reliable offline operation, and emergency lockdown capability are required.

ABLOY CLIQ

Dual mechanical and electronic key security

ABLOY PROTEC2 CLIQ pairs a high-security mechanical disc detainer cylinder with an independent electronic access layer — two separate levels of security in a single key. The battery is housed in the key itself, so cylinders require no wiring or external power. Access permissions are updated via a programming reader without needing to collect or reissue physical keys. Every access event is recorded in both the key and the cylinder, creating a dual audit trail. Available in multiple formats: standard CLIQ keys, time-restricted CLIQ keys, remotely programmable CLIQ Remote keys, and CLIQ Connect keys that update via a paired smartphone app over Bluetooth. Keys are IP67 waterproof with a typical battery life of ten years.

Best for: High-security environments and distributed operations where individual key management across multiple sites or access points is essential - such as utilities infrastructure, government and civic buildings, healthcare facilities, and organisations with staff working remotely or across multiple locations. Well suited to any operation where key access needs to be updated, scheduled, or suspended regularly without the inconvenience of collecting and reissuing physical keys.

ABLOY SMART AIR

Wireless standalone access control

A wireless electronic locking solution that requires no software, no cabling, and no network infrastructure. Access rights are programmed via a dedicated update card at the door itself. Shadow card functionality allows lost credentials to be cancelled without revoking all cards in the system. Compatible with RFID and PIN entry. For sites that grow, SMARTair Standalone can scale up to a fully wireless online system — without replacing existing hardware.

Best for: Smaller sites and single-door or limited-door installations where simplicity and low installation cost are the priority — such as a main office entry point, a meeting room, a server room, or any premises needing straightforward electronic access control without the complexity or cost of a networked system.
