Access Key & Lock relies on Videx’s access control solutions for school security

Access Key & Lock finds the Videx systems easy to install, competitively priced and with good technical back up

Access Key & Lock, access control specialists based in Fareham, rely extensively upon door entry and access control products from Videx for many school security projects. The installation of Videx door entry and access control products prevents children from inadvertently wandering out of the school grounds and also stops visitors or parents from entering school grounds without being announced first.

At one particular school two Videx DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant, vandal resistant door entry kits have been installed to ensure the needs of all visitors are met. These simple, modern and reliable units, which feature an illuminated Braille call button, are fitted inside and outside of the entrance gate to the school grounds. When the call button is pressed, the system's telephone handset rings in the school's reception office. A member of staff then decides whether to grant access to the visitor.

At this school, Access Key & Lock liaised with both the head teacher and the local authority's electrical design engineer before the decision was made about which Videx system would ideally suit the school's needs. The installation has ensured that within reason, no one can simply enter the school grounds without a member of staff being aware of their presence.

Videx systems are employed wherever possible by Access Key & Lock. Videx keeps a comprehensive range in stock and Access Key & Lock finds the systems easy to install, competitively priced and with good technical back up.
