Access control for York buildings
York has a very high number of listed buildings and a large hotel, guest house and tourism sector. Fire systems in historic buildings need careful design to protect both people and fabric.
On older doors we choose locks and readers that suit the door and frame, and work within listed building limits. For hotels we control back-of-house areas and staff entrances. For schools we secure entrances and reception to support safeguarding while keeping fire exits clear.
