Case Study

Large access control installation by Kew Bridge in London.

Applewood recently delivered a bespoke access control system for a residential property in Kew Bridge, enhancing security and providing the homeowner with seamless and secure entry management. This project highlights our expertise in designing and implementing tailored solutions that prioritise safety, convenience, and modern functionality.

Project Scope and Implementation

The homeowner sought a reliable and user-friendly access control system to secure their property while simplifying entry for authorised individuals. After conducting a thorough site survey and consultation, Applewood developed a customised solution designed to meet the client’s specific needs.

Features of the Access Control System

The installation included a range of advanced features, ensuring optimal security and ease of use:

• Keyless Entry: A secure keypad and proximity card system to provide authorised access without the need for traditional keys, reducing the risk of lost or stolen keys.
• Mobile Integration: A smartphone app enabling the client to manage and monitor access remotely, offering full control over who can enter and when.
• Audit Trails: The system allows the client to track access activity, providing a detailed log of entry and exit events for enhanced visibility and peace of mind.
• Scalability: The system was designed with future expansion in mind, allowing for additional access points or features to be added as the client’s requirements evolve.

Tailored Installation

Our team strategically installed the system at key entry points, ensuring comprehensive coverage while maintaining the aesthetic of the property. The hardware was chosen to blend seamlessly with the existing architecture, combining functionality with style.
