Door Entry & Intercom Installation
Guardian Edge installs and maintains door entry and intercom systems across the UK — audio and video, traditional wired and IP, for residential blocks, commercial receptions and gated developments — including replacement of obsolete systems where handsets and panels are no longer available.
Every flat answering, every handset working, every trade call logged.
Who this is for
- Managing agents and RMCs responsible for block entrances
- Housing providers with ageing door entry across a stock
- Commercial receptions and gated sites
Problems it solves
- Half the flats cannot answer the door and the panel is discontinued
- The door release has failed so the entrance is propped open
- Residents let in anyone who buzzes because there is no video
- Deliveries and contractors have no reliable way in

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Establish what can be reused
Riser cabling is the expensive part. Where it is sound, a panel and handset replacement can avoid a rewire entirely.
- 02
Check the entrance itself
Door condition, closer, lock and frame — most 'intercom faults' are actually door faults.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Programme with residents in mind
Notice given, entrance never left unsecured, and handset changeovers arranged in blocks rather than one at a time.
- 02
Install and commission
Every flat tested for call, answer and release before the visit ends.
- 03
Label and document
Panel labelling produced properly, and a record of flat-to-address mapping handed over.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- Entrance doors on escape routes must allow free egress without a credential.
- Where the entrance door is a fire door, the release mechanism and ironmongery must not compromise its rating.
- Video door entry that records rather than simply displays is processing personal data, and needs the same treatment as CCTV.
Standards & legislation
These are not all the same kind of obligation, and we do not present them as if they were. A statutory duty is law. A British Standard is the recognised way of demonstrating you have met one. Guidance and our own recommendations are neither.
- British StandardBS EN 60839-11
Electronic access control systems
Applies where the door entry system also performs an access control function.
Ongoing support
Planned, reactive and multi-site.
Most providers do one of these well. The value of a single provider is that the schedule, the emergency and the portfolio all sit in the same place.
Planned maintenance
- Scheduled maintenance of panels, releases and door hardware
- Handset replacement programmed across a block rather than one failure at a time
Reactive support
- Same-day attendance where an entrance cannot be secured
- Individual flat handset faults dealt with on a scheduled visit
Multi-site & national portfolios
- One contract across every block in a managed portfolio
Procurement, simplified
