At Kimpton, we offer a comprehensive Access Controls Service designed to integrate seamlessly with your fire safety, security, and building management systems (BMS). Our solutions provide secure, efficient, and compliant control over who can access specific areas of your premises, ensuring safety, security, and proper response during emergencies.
Our access control services cover a wide range of applications, including fire safety, vehicle and personnel access, emergency evacuation, and security surveillance.
Our Access Control Services Include:
- Fire Safety Integration: Our access control systems are designed to work in harmony with fire detection and alarm systems, ensuring that fire doors automatically close in the event of an emergency. This supports safe and rapid evacuation, while maintaining clear access during normal operations.
- Vehicle Access Control: We can design and install automated vehicle access systems for car parks, restricted zones, and loading bays. These solutions provide secure entry for authorised vehicles and personnel, reducing the risk of unauthorised access to your premises.
- Room and Zone Access Control: Control who can enter specific rooms, floors, or zones within your building. Our systems provide flexible access control for sensitive areas such as data centres, offices, and restricted workspaces, ensuring that only authorised individuals have access when needed.
- Emergency Evacuation Support: In emergency situations, our systems can be designed to automatically unlock doors and enable access to evacuation routes following emergency lighting routes, supporting fast and safe building evacuations. This function is closely integrated with your fire alarm, fire sprinkler systems and emergency lighting systems for maximum safety.
- Fire Door and Alarm System Integration: Our access control systems work with fire doors and alarms, ensuring they operate correctly in both normal and emergency conditions. Fire doors will remain closed to prevent fire spread or unlock during an evacuation, all in compliance with fire safety regulations.
Additional Features:
- CCTV Integration: For enhanced security, our access control solutions can be fully integrated with CCTV systems. This allows you to monitor who enters and exits your premises, providing real-time surveillance and recorded footage for added security and compliance.
- Shift-Specific Access: Manage access according to specific time frames, granting or restricting access based on shifts, schedules, or specific times of day, ensuring that only authorised personnel have entry at designated times.
- Time-Based access: For BTR, PBSA or hotel accommodation it’s critical that you only grant access to bedrooms or common areas to those who are paying guests. Access controls give you this flexibility and protection against overstaying and non-payers.
- Remote Monitoring and Control: Many of our systems can be monitored and controlled remotely, allowing you to manage access even when you’re offsite. This feature provides flexibility and security for businesses with multiple locations or large premises.
- Audit Trails and Reporting: for all of this, the systems can be designed to keep detailed logs of all access activities, including who accessed specific areas and when. This supports enhanced security, compliance, and traceability for sensitive areas.
When combined with a BMS (Building Management System) it can allow you to only heat and light areas that are occupied, potentially delivering huge savings on energy and making significant steps towards a
carbon reduction strategy.
At Kimpton, our aim is to provide an end-to-end service to create smarter buildings that work for you and the people who live and work within them.
We look to ensure the complete system from the design and installation of customised access control systems to ongoing maintenance and testing, works as it should. This ensures that your building remains safe, secure, and fully compliant with all of the latest regulations.
