Electronic locking hardware
Maglocks, electric strikes and door controllers
Access control is only as good as the hardware on the door. We fit and replace the locking devices, controllers, power supplies and exit devices behind keypad, fob and Paxton systems, and match each one to the door it is on.

Faulty doors we are called about
Because we also repair doors, closers and frames through Essex Door & Window Repairs, we can fix the door itself as well as the electronics.

- Maglocks that have lost holding force or are misaligned
- Readers and keypads that have failed
- Doors that drop or bind, putting strain on the lock
Questions we are often asked
What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure?
Fail-safe hardware unlocks when power is lost and is used on escape routes. Fail-secure stays locked without power and suits doors that are not escape routes, such as stock rooms.
Can you repair hardware on a system someone else installed?
In most cases, yes. We will check the hardware and wiring at the door and tell you what needs replacing.
