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
We install door access control so that only the right people open a given door, and so there is a record of who went where. That covers electric and magnetic locks, fingerprint and card readers, exit buttons, door controllers and the software that manages users and permissions.
Access control equipment we install
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.
How an access control installation runs
- 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
Brand names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Their appearance here indicates equipment we supply, install and service — not an endorsement, partnership or distribution agreement.
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.
- The size and layout of the property, and how far each device sits from the equipment position.
- Cable routes — surface trunking, existing conduit, or chasing through finished walls.
- Equipment selection: brand, specification and how much capacity you want to leave spare.
- Whether existing cabling, power or equipment can be reused.
- Access requirements such as height, scaffolding or working outside business hours.
Where we work
We are based at Rafay Mall, Main GT 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.

Biometric Attendance
We install and configure fingerprint, face recognition and card-based time attendance systems, and set up the reporting so the data is actually usable at the end of the month.
Video Intercom
We install video and audio intercom systems so you can see and speak to a visitor before opening the door, and release the gate or door without walking to it.
CCTV Installation
We design, supply, install and configure CCTV systems for homes, offices, shops, warehouses and commercial buildings across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
