Access Control & Gate Systems

ZimCos provides installation and servicing for access control and gate control systems. Our project examples include communal gate access control servicing and intercom equipment with keypad entry. Contact us about an existing fault or a planned installation.

Tell us how access should work

Start with the entrance and its users. Is it a pedestrian gate, a building entrance or another controlled access point? Explain who needs access, how they currently enter and what you want to change. Include the number of entrances and any equipment that needs to remain in use.

Servicing an existing gate access system

A service enquiry is easier to assess when the symptoms are clear. Tell us whether the issue affects every user or only some, whether it happens continuously or intermittently, and which parts of the entry arrangement still work. Send photographs of the gate and control equipment where these can be taken safely. Avoid sharing access codes or credentials in an initial message.

A real communal gate service example

Our Projects page includes an access control service visit for a communal gate. The photograph shows the gate and entrance passage associated with the work. See this example alongside our intercom and keypad project to help explain the type of entrance you need support with.

Keypad access and visitor communication

Our work also includes a contractor intercom system with keypad access control. If your entrance combines an intercom, keypad and electric lock, explain which function requires attention. A request to improve visitor communication may have a different scope from changing how regular users gain entry.

Agree the scope before work starts

The scope depends on the equipment, its condition and the changes required. An access control enquiry does not automatically include gate motor repair, structural work or a complete gate replacement. Let us know about any related work so that the responsibilities and requirements can be discussed together.

Questions about this service

Can you service access control on a communal gate?

Yes. Our project gallery includes communal gate access control servicing. Send the equipment details and a description of the issue so we can discuss the required work.

Does gate control servicing include every part of an automated gate?

The work must be scoped for the particular system. Tell us whether your enquiry concerns access control, the locking arrangement, gate movement or several issues; do not assume all are included in one service.

What should I send with an enquiry?

Provide the property postcode, entrance type, system make and model where known, photographs and a clear description of the fault or planned changes. Do not include live access codes.

For visitor calls and electric locks, see our door entry and intercom services.
