Access Control in Harlow

Access Control in Harlow

Sarum Systems installs Paxton access control and door entry across Harlow, from schools and multi-tenant units on Templefields and The Pinnacles to residential blocks and managed properties. We already work on Bush Fair, Staple Tye, Whitehall, Burnt Mill, Greenway Business Centre and Parkway Harlow Business Park. Free survey, engineer on site within three hours, and we take over and expand systems another company installed.

Local knowledge

What we see on the ground in Harlow.

Access control in Harlow is mostly a shared-space problem. The employment areas at Templefields, The Pinnacles, Ash Industrial Estate and Roydonbury are full of subdivided units where several businesses use one yard, one gate and sometimes one main entrance, and the original door hardware was never designed for that. The neighbourhood centres at Bush Fair and Staple Tye have the same issue at smaller scale, with retail units sharing a rear service corridor. Schools across the town have the opposite requirement, a single controlled visitor route with everything else locked down during the day and opened up again for evening lettings. Business centres like Greenway and Parkway need something that can be reassigned quickly as tenants come and go. External fittings have to respect local rules, and we always work to the guidance published by Harlow Council.

The point of access control on a shared site is that you stop managing keys. On multi-tenant units around Templefields and The Pinnacles, we set Paxton up so each business controls its own doors and the landlord keeps the yard gate, with no master key floating around that nobody can account for. For letting agents, tokens get cancelled the day a tenancy ends rather than hoping a key comes back. In schools we build the day around the timetable, so the visitor route is the only way in during lesson time and evening lettings open a defined set of doors without exposing the rest of the site. Every system we fit logs who went where, which matters the first time something goes missing.

FAQs

Access Control in Harlow: questions we hear.

Absolutely — two-door fob systems with full logging are one of our most common Harlow installs, and they cost less than re-keying the unit after every staff change.
Yes — video entry with mobile answering. The resident sees the driver, buzzes them into the lobby or refuses, and the communal door never needs propping open again.
Every escape door we control fails safe on the fire alarm and opens from inside without any credential. It's designed and certificated, not left to chance.
We do — Harlow has plenty of legacy access kit, and we take systems over, service them and set you up with local callouts rather than leaving you with an installer who's moved on.
Yes — time-limited credentials are standard: issued, tracked, expired automatically. Nothing to collect back at the end of the job.
