That wear adds up, and a reader or lock that's slowly degrading often isn't noticed until it fails completely. Access control servicing typically covers: - Reader and biometric sensor testing - Door lock and strike function checks - Exit button and controller testing - Enrollment data and software sync review - Admin access verification - Written service reports If your access control system was installed by another provider, we assess it on its own merits and tell you plainly what we can do. Common Problems ## Access Control Faults We Fix The faults we're most often called to handle in hotels & guesthouses. ### Door Not Unlocking Reader, strike/maglock, controller or wiring faults preventing normal access. ### Door Stays Unlocked Faulty lock relay, wiring fault, or controller misconfiguration. ### Biometric Not Recognizing Sensor wear, dirty scanner surface, or poor original enrollment quality. ### Exit Button Faults Faulty button, wiring, or relay preventing normal exit function. ### Controller/Software Issues Access control software not syncing correctly with the door controller. ### Lost Admin Access Recovering control of a system with unknown or lost admin credentials.

That's Fine. Properties change hands, contractors move on, and the original installer of your access control system may no longer be around. None of that means the system is beyond help. We assess the existing equipment and configuration, then tell you plainly whether it can be: - Repaired as-is - Reconfigured - Upgraded in part - Partially replaced - Fully replaced, if that's genuinely the sensible option We can't promise every third-party system is repairable sight unseen — some equipment is genuinely past its useful life — but we assess before we conclude that. Process ## How a Access Control Service Runs 1 ### Briefing What's happening, and what should be reviewed. 2 ### Site Walk Inspecting the relevant areas of your hotel. 3 ### Diagnose Equipment, wiring, power and configuration. 4 ### Report & Recommend Written findings — repair, upgrade or replace. 5 ### Approve & Repair Scheduled at a time that suits your operations. 6 ### Handover Report and documentation for your records. Technical Honesty ## Repair, Upgrade or Replace? ### Repair Restore the existing reader, lock or controller where that is practical — most access faults are configuration, wear or connection issues. ### Upgrade Replace the specific reader, lock or controller that has failed or is outdated, while keeping usable wiring and door hardware. ### Replace Recommended where equipment is obsolete, damaged beyond practical repair, or no longer matches the site's access needs.

Most hotel sites benefit from servicing every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and exposure to the elements. Can you service systems installed by another company? In most cases yes — we assess the equipment and its condition first, then confirm what can be serviced or repaired. Do you offer maintenance contracts for hotels & guesthouses? Yes. Maintenance contracts are scoped to the number of devices, sites, and required response times — contact us to discuss what a contract would cover. What if the equipment can't be repaired? We tell you plainly and quote for the specific replacement needed, rather than repeated repair attempts on something that genuinely needs replacing. Do you provide a written report after servicing? Yes — every scheduled service visit includes a written record of what was checked, found, and recommended. Can you audit who currently has access on our system? Yes — an access log and credential audit is part of what we check on a service visit, where the system supports it. ## Access Control Issue? Let's Sort It. Tell us about your hotel and the issue.
