Local Government & Public Sector Access Control (Surrey)


Secure council buildings, depots and public facilities with controlled access and clear audit trails


Local authority sites have a unique mix of challenges: public access at the front door, restricted areas behind the scenes, multiple teams and contractors, and a constant need to protect staff, assets and sensitive spaces.


OC Services designs, installs and maintains access control systems for borough and county councils across Surrey and surrounding areas  helping you reduce key risk, control who goes where (and when), and simplify multi-site security.

Our Commercial Access Control Solutions

Door access control for restricted areas

  • Fob/card/keypad access for staff-only zones
  • Time-based permissions (e.g., out-of-hours restrictions)
  • Multi-door systems for offices, depots and compounds
PIN Keypads & Biometric Readers

Secure offices, IT suites, and safeguarding zones with PIN or fingerprint/face recognition.


Visitor & Contractor Management

Temporary credentials and real-time tracking for visitors, supply teachers, and maintenance personnel.


Audit Trails & Attendance Monitoring

Keep accurate records for safeguarding, attendance, and compliance.


Integration with Alarms & Lockdown Systems

Automatically release doors for fire evacuation or secure the site in an emergency.


Master Suite Key Systems

Simplify key management for multiple doors and buildings—one key for authorised staff, restricted access for others.


Key Benefits

  • Reduce key risk: fewer physical keys in circulation
  • Control access by role: staff, managers, cleaners, contractors
  • Improve accountability: clearer understanding of who has access to what
  • Support safer working: restrict access to plant rooms, IT, stores and staff areas
  • Simplify multi-site management: standardise doors and permissions across locations
  • Faster changes: add/remove users without changing locks

Typical Scenarios

  • Staff-only access to records rooms, IT rooms and comms cupboards
  • Controlled access to stores, workshops and depots (tools, fuel, materials)
  • Restricting access to plant rooms and service corridors
  • Managing access for cleaners and contractors with time windows
  • Securing side/rear doors that are frequently propped or misused
  • Improving safety in public-facing buildings by separating public and staff zones
