Door entry systems in Essex
Audio, video and app-based door entry for houses, electric gates and flats, planned with the access control and network behind the door.
A call to the door or the gate, and a way to let someone in
Door entry is the system that lets you see or hear who is at the entrance, and then release the door or the gate. It might be a simple audio handset, a video panel, an app on your phone, or a mix of those with fobs for the people who already have a right to come in.
Charged fits door entry for houses, for electric gates and for flats and blocks across Essex, Thurrock and East London. The hardware varies – a house, a driveway gate and a communal entrance do not need the same panel – but the survey is the same idea: who needs to answer the call, how they will be let in, and how the system joins up with the lock, the gate or the network.
This page points you to the right place. Houses and gates are already covered in our intercom and access control pages. Flats and blocks have a dedicated page of their own, because the wiring, the handsets and the way residents use the entrance are different.
Choose the page that matches your entrance
We can quote any of these after a survey. If you are not sure which fits, start here or call us.
Houses and front doors
Video and app-based intercoms for a front door, including UniFi. For fobs and keypads on a house or workplace door, see access control.
Gates and driveways
A gate intercom is only useful if the call reaches you and the gate can then open. We also plan the network out to the pier when it does not already reach.
Flats and blocks
Audio and video door entry for communal entrances, with handsets, apps, fobs and upgrades from older systems.
Managing agents
One point of contact for door entry, fobs, shared gates and related work across a block or a small portfolio.
Locks, gates, cameras and the network behind them
A door entry panel is only part of the entrance. The lock or the gate operator still has to release safely, and a camera at the door is a separate decision if you want a recording as well as a live call. We plan those together when they are part of the same job. See access control, gate automation and CCTV.
Many modern systems need a network that actually reaches the entrance. If the router is at the back of the house or in a riser cupboard with no cable to the door, the app will not save the installation. WiFi and networks and links to gates and outbuildings cover that side of the work.
For a house or a gate, start with UniFi intercoms or access control. For a communal entrance, go to door entry for flats and blocks.

Houses, gates and flats, and how apps and fobs can sit together.
Yes. House and gate intercoms, including UniFi and other video door entry, are covered on our existing intercom and access control pages. Door entry for flats and blocks has its own page.
Yes. Many systems let residents or homeowners answer a call on their phone as well as at a handset, and use fobs or tags at the door. The right mix depends on the building and is confirmed at survey.
Every system is priced after a survey, because the entrance, the number of flats or doors, and whether we are upgrading an existing system all change the price.
