Access Control & Door Entry Systems in Surrey, Hampshire & Berkshire
Thames Valley Securitek supplies, installs and maintains access control, audio door entry (intercoms) and video door entry systems for homes, businesses and blocks of flats across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. As Paxton Approved installers with over 20 years’ experience, we design systems that make it easy to let the right people in and keep everyone else out, with no more cutting keys or changing locks.
Access control and door entry for every type of property
Businesses
Offices, workshops, shops and units: fobs or cards instead of keys, control over who can go where, and lost fobs cancelled in seconds.
Access control systems →Blocks of flats and shared buildings
Audio or video entry for single or multi-tenant properties, with a handset or videophone in each flat.
Door entry for flats →Homes
A video intercom at the front door or gate, keypad or fob entry, and the option to answer the door from your phone.
Video door entry →Access control systems
Organisations of all sizes are replacing old-fashioned keys with electronic access control, for its flexibility, low running costs and ease of administration.
- Lose a key? No problem. Instead of the time and expense of replacing every lock and key, just cancel the lost card or fob and issue a new one.
- One credential, the right doors. No more giant key rings. Each card or fob is set up to open only the doors that person needs, so you control who can go where.
- Cards, fobs or tokens. Credit-card-sized key cards, or proximity tokens and key fobs, which give hands-free access and get lost far less often because they stay on a key ring or in a wallet.
- Keypads and biometric readers. Coded access, or fingerprint (bio-access) readers where you need the highest level of control.
As Paxton Approved installers, we fit Paxton systems, from a single door to a whole building. That includes Paxton handles with built-in readers, which add access control to a door without a separate reader on the wall.
Audio door entry systems (intercoms)
Audio entry systems let visitors call you from the door, and let you open it without leaving your desk or flat. Flexible, modular designs mean the system can grow with your home or business: multiple doors, coded access, integrated proximity (fob) access and biometric readers.
The latest systems use mobile phone technology to operate doors and automatic gates remotely. A visitor at the door or gate can call any telephone, anywhere in the world, and you can let them in from there. Audio entry is available for single or multi-tenant properties.
Video door entry systems
Video entry gives you all the benefits of an audio system, plus the peace of mind of seeing who’s there before you open the door. Our kits can be expanded to include:
- multiple entrance points
- multiple videophones per apartment
- extension audio phones and extra sounders
It’s the natural choice for front doors and gates where you want to see visitors and deliveries, and for blocks of flats where residents need to know who they’re letting in.
Which system do you need?
Audio entry
- What it does
- Visitors call you from the door, you talk to them and open it
- Best for
- Simple entrances, flats and gates
- Works with
- Keypads, fobs, gates and phones
Video entry
- What it does
- The same as audio entry, plus you see who’s there
- Best for
- Homes, gates, flats and reception doors
- Works with
- Keypads, fobs, gates and phones
Access control
- What it does
- Authorised people let themselves in with a fob, card, code or fingerprint
- Best for
- Offices, units, staff and shared doors
- Works with
- Door entry, gates and alarms
Can I use more than one?
Yes. Many properties use two together, such as video entry for visitors and fob access for staff or residents. We’ll recommend the right mix when we visit for your free quote.
Door entry for flats and shared buildings
For landlords, managing agents and residents’ associations, door entry needs to be simple for residents and reliable for years. We install audio and video entry for multi-tenant properties, with a handset or videophone in each flat and fob access for residents. Moving to fobs also means that when a resident leaves, you cancel their fob instead of changing the locks.
If your building has an old or unreliable entry panel, we can design and quote for a new system, including video, extra entrances or fob access.
Working with your gates, alarm and CCTV
Because we also install electric gates, burglar alarms and CCTV, your door entry and access control can be planned with everything else, from one company with one point of contact. For example, a gate intercom that calls your phone, or fob access at the front door with CCTV covering the entrance.

Highly Recommended – Prompt, Professional and a Trusted Local Business.
We have been a customer of Thames Valley Securitek for 15 years when they initially installed our alarm system. We have recently upgraded our system and the team advised on how best to do this utilising as much of the existing structure as possible to save costs. They provided a competitive quote and carried out the work promptly, without any fuss and with professionalism. They are quick to respond to any queries and I would highly recommended their services. It’s great to be able to use and support a local business.

Intruder Alarm Installation
We were recommended TVS by a friend who had recently had a new alarm fitted. We wanted a company who would work with us and our builders during a refurb. TVS were great, they liaised with the builder throughout and fitted our alarm how we wanted it to be fitted so it blended in with our new improvements. To be able to pick up the phone and talk to an engineer within minutes was a very valuable Service they provided for us and our builder. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They were professional throughout and a pleasure to have in our home.
