Access control for Bradford buildings
Many Bradford buildings are former mills and warehouses now used as offices, flats and workshops. Older structures like these often need systems designed around thick walls, open floors and changes of use.
For offices we set access levels by staff, time and door, with an audit trail of who went where. On older doors we choose locks and readers that suit the door and frame, and work within listed building limits. For schools we secure entrances and reception to support safeguarding while keeping fire exits clear.
