Gate Automation & Security Systems Specialists
Christchurch, Canterbury & across the South Island
Commercial keyless access control across Christchurch
Managing physical keys as staff, contractors, and tenants come and go creates security gaps and expensive rekeying bills.
Modern access control replaces physical keys with intelligent digital permissions - allowing you to group users by role, set auto-expiring access schedules, and revoke lost credentials in seconds without changing a single lock.
Over 90% of our installations are paid as a single upfront payment, with no ongoing subscription to us. In the rare case a manufacturer charges an ongoing software fee, we make sure you know about it upfront.

Keyless entry systems for homes and commercial premises
Commercial and residential properties need different approaches to access. Hardware matches how people move through a property:
- Fobs & Swipe Cards: Ideal for workplaces, fleet yards, and multi-tenant buildings. Each user receives an individual credential that can be instantly revoked remotely if lost or when staff change.
- Keypads & Biometrics: Perfect for homes, eliminating physical keys altogether through custom PIN codes, fingerprint scanners, or mobile app access.
- Shared Entry Keypads: A practical choice for doors or gates where a simple, secure PIN code is all that is required for daily user access.
- Integrated Intercom Readers: Combined units with built-in keypads or card readers, letting you control both perimeter gates and building entry through a single piece of hardware.
Permissions, time rules and entry logs you manage yourself
Customise access permissions as precisely as your facility requires. Users are grouped by role, so staff, tenants, cleaners and contractors enter only the specific areas they need. Automated, time-based rules restrict entry to trading hours, active tenancies, or single visits before expiring automatically.
Every entry is time-stamped for disputes, and users can be added or cancelled off site.
Data can stay on site, not in the cloud, which usually adds a subscription and internet reliance. Where only remote entry is needed, a SIM-based controller you call or text is cheaper; just keep the SIM active, at a cost explained upfront.
Integrating access control with gates, barriers and alarms
Access control brings all entry points together. Perimeter gates, commercial barrier machines, and building doors are all managed from one central platform - allowing you to grant, adjust, or revoke user permissions instantly without rekeying locks or replacing physical credentials.
For complete site protection, access control can be integrated directly with video intercoms, security alarms, and CCTV networks.
For automated vehicle entry, long-range RFID systems read windscreen tags on approach, while Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras scan vehicle plates to grant immediate, hands-free entry tailored to your site's operational needs.
The credential is deleted from the system, so it no longer opens any door. There is no need to rekey locks or reissue keys to everyone else on site.
Yes. User groups, time schedules and zoning decide who reaches which door and when, so cleaners, contractors and staff only enter the areas and hours their job requires.
Electric locks run on their own power supply with battery backup, so doors still release when mains power drops. Free egress is checked at the site visit before anything is installed.
It is expensive - around $2,500 for the camera alone, with full projects starting nearer $12,000–$15,000. Long-range RFID readers at roughly $1,000 each, with tags near $7, suit most barrier sites.
Yes. Gates, boom barriers, intercoms, cameras, alarms, keypads and door locks can work as one system, and a valid entry can disarm the alarm to cut false activations.
All residential projects carry no subscription to us. Codes for family, cleaners or short-stay guests can be changed or removed without touching the hardware.
Most brands can be serviced, not just the brands that we install.
