Can I answer my door entry system from my phone?

Yes, app-based systems let you answer from a smartphone anywhere you have signal or Wi-Fi and we can also set up phone access alongside a traditional wall-mounted handset.

Can a door entry system be integrated with a gate as well as a door?

Yes, release mechanisms can be set up for gates as well as doors, which is common on properties with a driveway gate or commercial sites with vehicle access.

Is there a call-out charge for a repair visit?

A site survey and quote won't cost you anything and there's no obligation attached - you'll know the likely cost before agreeing to anything.

How much does a door entry system cost?

It depends on the property and system type – audio, video or app-based and single house versus communal block. We give a free, no-obligation quote after a site survey so you know the actual cost.

Do you offer both wired and wireless (app-based) systems?

Yes, we fit traditional wired handsets, video panels and app-based systems that work over Wi-Fi and can advise on which suits your property and budget.

Gravesend Door Entry Installation

The point of a door entry system is simple: know who is at the door and let them in without having to go and check in person, whether that is a single front door or a whole communal block. Done properly, that means a clear picture or clear audio, a handset that actually works and reliable release of the door or gate.

We install and maintain door entry and intercom systems in Gravesend that do exactly that – audio and video entry, individual handsets and app-based systems that let you answer the door from your phone.

Door entry on former colliery and industrial terraces

01
Post-war estates including Riverview Park (former RAF airfield), King's Farm (1920s) and Christianfields (rebuilt 2007-2013) Terraces in these areas of Kent tend to have solid, thick walls, which is generally good for keeping an entry panel's cable run tidy and protected, but can make retrofitting an internal handset more involved if there is no existing route through the wall. We plan the cable run at survey stage so there are no surprises on installation day.
02
Where these terraces have been split into flats over the years, door entry systems have sometimes been added piecemeal, with mismatched handsets or a panel that no longer matches the number of occupied units.

How we handle a communal block installation

1

Building survey

We assess the block – number of flats, existing cabling, communal doors and any trade access needed.

2

Resident/handset plan agreed

We agree how many handsets or app accounts are needed and how they map to each flat.

3

Panel and cabling installation

The main entry panel is fitted and cabling run to each flat, reusing existing runs where sound.

4

Handset and app setup

Each handset or app account is configured individually and tested.

5

Communal door release fitted

The release mechanism on the main door is installed and tested for reliability.

6

Full system test and handover

Every flat's access is tested before we hand the system over to residents or the managing agent.
