Upgrade of an existing School access control and alarm system
Utilising cutting-edge access control, door entry and intruder alarm technology, Active Security has been able to upgrade this schools security and minimise downtime & disruption by working in school holidays.
The project:
Over the years we have been able to work with Denefield School in Reading many times to ensure the protection of their students, staff and assets. On this occasion, they required an upgrade on the access control/door entry system that we installed several years back.
At Active Security, we understand the importance of having a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff. Throughout the school, the main doors to each building had integrated access control and alarm systems. Our task was to replace the doors with new ones and move the existing security systems to the new doors. For added security, we also installed 3 new doors with new systems.
Active Security's solutions:
We provide Denefield with a range of services, including:
- Access control systems
- On-going maintenance
- Door entry systems
- Security system servicing
"We improved, upgraded and simplifed the security of this school with high- quality, reliable access control and intruder alarm products."
The solution that the Active Security provided allows Denefield School to be put on lockdown with ease, provides a notification when a door is left open and offers a greater level of protection for the students, staff and the schools assets.
Integrating access control within the school doors:
Access control is vital for schools and helps to ensure the safety of students, staff and school equipment and supplies. The integrated Paxton access control system we used provides immediate control over where and when access is permitted.
In this environment this system is perfect, it provides a fast and reliable solution for locking down a very large number of doors without the need for hundreds of keys that can be easy to lose.
Overcoming the challenges faced for the project:
We were required to supply, fit and maintain these security systems during the school holidays to minimise disruption.
"This is something that our team easily overcame, with careful planning and time management we were able to ensure we had our access control and alarm specialists available to provide a fast and reliable service during the tight schedule of a busy school."
