Electromagnetic locks (maglocks)
Holding force applied through an electromagnet and armature plate. Fail-safe by nature — they release when power is removed, which matters for escape routes.
Door access control
Access Control Installation in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
A key tells you nothing. Access control answers the two questions a lock cannot: who is allowed through this door, and who actually came through it. We fit readers, locks, exit devices and controllers so that rights can be withdrawn in seconds instead of recut, and so any door that must release in an emergency always does.
Locks, readers and controllers
Electric strikes and drop bolts
Locking hardware fitted into or onto the door frame, chosen to suit the door type, the frame and whether it must fail safe or fail secure.
Fingerprint readers
Entry on a registered fingerprint, avoiding cards that get shared, lost or left at home.
Card and fob readers
Proximity cards and fobs for larger user groups, where issuing and cancelling credentials quickly matters more than biometrics.
Face recognition terminals
Hands-free entry, often with fingerprint or card as a fallback, and frequently doubling as an attendance device.
Exit buttons and emergency release
Push-to-exit devices and break-glass release units so leaving is always straightforward and safe.
Door controllers
The controller that decides whether a credential opens a door, and records the attempt whether it succeeded or not.
Management software
User enrolment, permission groups, time-based rules and access logs set up so your own staff can administer it.
Wiring a door properly
- 1
Door survey
Each door is assessed for type, frame, opening direction, escape-route status and existing hardware. The door decides the lock, not the other way round.
- 2
System design and quotation
A written quotation covering locks, readers, controllers, power supplies, cabling and software for each door.
- 3
Installation
Locks and readers fitted, controllers and power supplies installed, and cabling run back to the controller position.
- 4
Configuration
Users enrolled, permission groups and time rules set, and exit and emergency release tested on every door.
- 5
Handover
We show your administrator how to add and remove users, change permissions and pull access logs.

Equipment and brands
We install access control hardware from established manufacturers and match the reader and lock to the door and the user group.
- ZKTeco
- Hikvision
- Dahua
Manufacturer names shown here belong to those manufacturers. We list them because these are the lines we buy, fit and repair — not to imply any distributorship or formal partnership.
Maintenance and repair
We also repair and extend existing access control — adding doors or users, replacing failed locks, readers and power supplies, and recovering systems whose administrator credentials were lost.
What affects the quotation
We do not publish prices, because the same job varies widely between sites. A written quotation follows a survey, and these are the factors that move the figure.
- Distance — every metre between a device and the equipment position is cable, labour and a routing decision.
- What the walls are made of, and whether we surface-mount, reuse conduit or cut into a finished building.
- How much spare capacity you want designed in — leaving room now costs far less than a second visit later.
- What can honestly be reused: cable, power, brackets, a serviceable recorder or panel.
- Working conditions — height access, live premises, or evening work so trade is not disrupted.
Where we work
We are based at Office 5B, 1st Floor, Royal Plaza, 6th Road, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and carry out access control work across Rawalpindi and Islamabad. See areas we serve for more detail, or contact us to arrange a site survey.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to an access-control lock during a power failure?
It depends on whether the lock is fail-safe or fail-secure, and that is a decision made per door. A fail-safe lock, such as a maglock, unlocks when power is lost — necessary on escape routes so people are never trapped. A fail-secure lock stays locked when power is lost, which suits a store room or server room where security matters more than free exit. Where a door must stay locked during an outage, it is backed by a battery supply, and mechanical or break-glass release is always provided on escape routes.
Should we use fingerprint, card or face recognition?
Fingerprint suits small, stable teams and stops credential sharing. Cards and fobs suit larger or changing groups where issuing and cancelling access quickly matters most. Face recognition suits hands-free entry and doubles as attendance. Many sites mix them — a card for general staff, biometrics on sensitive doors.
Can access control also record staff attendance?
Yes, many terminals do both. If attendance reporting is the main goal rather than door security, see biometric attendance systems, which covers reporting in more detail.
Can you add access control to our existing doors?
Usually yes. The door type, frame and opening direction determine which lock is appropriate. Glass, timber and metal doors each take different hardware, which is why we survey the doors before quoting.
Who can add and remove users after installation?
You can. We configure the management software and train your administrator to enrol users, set permission groups and time rules, and pull access logs without needing to call us.
