Access Control
From standalone systems to advanced biometric access, our tailored solutions give you complete control over who enters your premises-ensuring the highest level of security, flexibility, and ease of use.
Access Control is the cornerstone of any effective security strategy. Whether you’re managing access to a single room or hundreds of doors across multiple locations, EA-RS Access Control Systems help protect people, assets, and operations with intelligent, customisable, and scalable solutions. From keypads and proximity fobs to cutting-edge biometric technology, we offer end-to-end design, installation, and support tailored to your environment.
EA-RS are certified members of DHF and ADSA, ensuring your access control is compatible with automated doors, gates, and barriers, fully compliant with EU Machinery Directive safety standards.
Standalone systems operate independently with keypads, proximity readers, or biometrics, ideal for small premises, utility rooms, or remote locations and secure environments.
EA-RS networked systems link multiple readers via data or cloud networks, enabling real-time control, life and turnstile integration, audits logs, timed access, and remote management across global sites.
EA-RS fingerprint biometric systems offer secure, non-transferable access for high-security areas and can be used standalone or combined with fobs, keypads, or mobile credentials for multi-factor authentication.
Access control is a security system that helps to restrict access to a site/building/room or computer by asking for a unique code. That code can be a simple code entered on a keypad or a more sophisticated credential such as a fob, card or even a finger print or retinal scan.
There are three main system types,
The first is a simple code that when entered onto a keypad will open a door or a gate/barrier to allow access. This solution offers a low level of security as the number could be shared or copied by anyone wishing to gain unauthorised access. The key codes are programmed at the keypad and each keypad is adjusted individually.
The second is a ‘stand alone’ proximity access system. This is a combination of proximity readers which are operated by a proximity card or fob. The fobs or cards are programmed at the reader using a ‘master’ or ‘shadow’ card and each reader is programmed individually.
The third option is a ‘networked’ proximity access system. This is a more sophisticated option as the readers are joined on a data network. Access can be controlled by a central PC or via the cloud allowing an administrator to control flow through the building. A company could have 100’s of sites across the world all controlled locally or internationally. Credentials can also be more sophisticated with extremely secure cards or fobs offering the highest levels of encryption. Readers can also be very secure with a combination of highly encrypted cards or fobs with biometrics and codes. Any system can be a combination of security levels. The system can display a synaptic map of door condition and can work alongside fire alarm, intruder alarm, CCTV and BMS systems.
There are five main types of fire extinguishers, each designed for specific classes of fire: water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and wet chemical. Each type targets different risks, from everyday materials like wood and paper to flammable liquids, electrical equipment, and cooking oils. Understanding these categories is essential to ensuring your business is equipped with the right protection for the hazards present in your environment.
If you have an online PC based system you can schedule each door/gate/barrier to be open at certain times to allow people or traffic movement.
Yes, there are various levels of functionality that can be offered with an online PC based system, from a simple log of people entering and leaving the building to a full interface into a payroll system.
Yes, you can use an online PC based system that can offer lift control, a card can be allocated to a particular lift car and that lift car will then only take the user to a specified floor.
Yes, we can offer a bespoke solution that includes turnstiles or barriers and integrated card readers.
The answer to this is that you must have a valid credential, but this can be on your smart phone.
