Nobody should have to leave the front door on the latch, or open it without knowing who’s there. A door entry system lets you see or hear visitors first, then let them in at the press of a button.

Applewood Fire & Security designs, installs and maintains audio and video door entry for flats, businesses and homes across Crawley and the rest of Sussex. Tell us how many flats or users share the door, and we’ll explain the options in plain English.

Call 020 3696 9489 (Mon to Fri, 08:30 to 17:00) or send us a message for a no-obligation chat about door entry.

Who we help in Crawley

Flats and shared homes in Crawley’s neighbourhoods

Crawley was built as a new town after 1947 and grew in neighbourhoods, each mixing houses with low-rise blocks of flats, up to newer areas such as Forge Wood. In a block, one shared front door serves every flat. A door entry panel with a button for each flat lets residents see or hear who is there and release the door from inside.

Visitors and deliveries on Manor Royal

Manor Royal, next to Gatwick Airport, is home to more than 600 businesses, and many handle visitors, couriers and lorries throughout the day. A video entry panel at a gate or front door lets reception check who has arrived before letting them on site. Where staff also need their own way in, door entry can work alongside access control fobs or cards.
