Access Control and Door Entry
in Kensington and Chelsea

Kensington and Chelsea doors in our notes: period timber; mews garage-conversions; mansion street doors. Cylinders and cases: mortices; brass furniture euros; garage locks. Access control around them: mansion video; porter desks; mews gates.

For access control and door entry we additionally carry 12V and 24V maglocks, fail-safe and fail-secure strikes, Wiegand and OSDP readers. Failure modes that match this pair: power supply ripple after a weekend isolation; reader vandalised on a public stair.

If the reader is the failure rather than the cylinder, pivot to access control. If the opening is damaged, pivot to burglary repair. If you simply need the suite open, office lockout may be the tighter description.

You should leave with a working key or a reset, a written figure, and a note of the stamp on garage locks. Old keys can be destroyed on request.

If staff still share one key between a floor, master key systems is the planned conversation. If the closer slammed the latch, the closer is part of the job, not a mystery for next week.
