Introduction to Access Control
Access control is a fundamental component of modern security strategies, designed to regulate who can enter or exit specific areas within a building or property. By implementing an access control system, businesses gain the ability to protect their premises from unauthorised access, safeguard valuable equipment, and maintain a secure environment for personnel and visitors alike.
​
These systems utilise a variety of technologies, including key cards, biometric technology, PIN codes, and intercom systems, to verify identities and manage permissions. The flexibility of access controls allows them to cater to a diverse range of clients and sectors, from small offices to high security sites such as schools, hospitals, and commercial complexes.
​
In addition to enhancing safety and security, modern access control solutions often integrate seamlessly with other security systems such as CCTV, alarm systems, and fire detection, providing comprehensive protection. With reliable power supply options and ongoing maintenance services, these systems ensure continuous operation and peace of mind for property owners and operations managers.
​
At Cornerstone Electrico Systems, we understand the essential role of access control in safeguarding your business. Our expert team is dedicated to designing, installing, and maintaining access control systems that meet your specific needs, enabling you to monitor attendance, control entry points, and prevent unwanted visitors effectively.

How often should I have my electrics tested?For domestic properties, we recommend testing every 10 years or at a change of occupancy. Regular PAT testing and visual inspection should also be included as part of comprehensive safety checks to identify potential issues early and ensure compliance. For rented properties, testing is required every 5 years by law. Commercial premises typically require testing every 5 years or more frequently, depending on usage.
-
What is a periodic inspection and testing report?It’s a formal report (commonly called an EICR) detailing the condition of your electrical installation. The report provides official certification and certificates to demonstrate compliance with industry standards and regulations. It highlights any safety issues or non-compliances and offers recommendations for improvement.
-
What is fixed electrical testing?Fixed electrical testing involves inspecting the permanent electrical components of your system – like wiring, sockets, switches, distribution boards – to ensure they’re safe and compliant. An electrician will thoroughly assess your electrical system and electrical equipment during fixed electrical testing, checking for safety, compliance, and any potential issues.
-
Why is the 2391 course important?The 2391 course is a highly regarded qualification for electricians who conduct inspection and testing. Successful completion of the 2391 course qualifies electricians to issue certification and certificates, such as Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), as proof of electrical safety and compliance with industry standards. It ensures they are competent to assess the condition of electrical installations safely and accurately.
