ACCESS control grants authorised individuals access to buildings or areas. At the same time, it prevents unauthorised individuals from accessing certain areas.
The principle itself is a simple one, but having a company that fully understands the needs of a client, that can provide the very latest in keyless entry system and access control technology and deliver a quality, efficient and effective product is where SimonsVoss comes in.
For more than 25 years, our company and those who make up our dedicated and professional team have been working to make life and work safer for our many clients, as well as more comfortable, efficient and economical.
We have achieved this by revolutionising the classic mechanical locking systems with digital technology and integrating many additional functions.
But it is not just the products, the technology and what they can do that set us apart as one of the best access control companies in the UK.
The expertise and experience of individuals and collectively within our team creates the complete package for discerning customers.

Along with our highly skilled and approachable team of individuals, there are many other reasons for making SimonsVoss the number one choice in keyless, digital and access control systems if you are a business, security specialist or locksmith.
Here are a few:
1. Since 1995, we have been applying world-renowned German engineering to our keyless entry systems, signifying quality and durability.
2. With an average eight-year lifespan, a SimonsVoss battery means less maintenance, in turn keeping costs down. As well as huge monetary savings, these batteries offer peace of mind in mains power cuts and when working from home for extended periods. The lifespan of SimonsVoss batteries translates into approximately 300,000 individual activations (unlocks / locks) of a cable-less digital cylinder lock.
3. Our short delivery times (in normal operations) mean that customers can order and have the product delivered, fitted and fully operational within an acceptable time scale.
4. Our systems are fully flexible and can be tailored to suit the individual customer – whether that is for one single door or up to 64,000 doors.
5. SimonVoss’ wide range of products are not only quick and easy to install – which can help keep costs down in terms of man hours – but can also be retrofitted to most existing doors.
6.Thanks to an extensive product range we are able to offer a solution to pretty much any situation. Here is our product catalogue.
7. Strong VAR network of installers, who are fully trained on the SimonsVoss products.
8. With a strong SimonsVoss team here in the UK, end users, specifiers and installers can have access to quick and comprehensive support if required.
9. Our services can be fully integrated and seamlessly embedded within an existing building management system (BMS). SmartIntego Locking cylinders, SmartHandle, padlock and Locker Locks can be easily integrated into complex building management systems. Existing IT structures and multifunctional SmartCards can be used.
10. SimonsVoss is fortunate enough to work with numerous integration partners that can provide a solution for any requirement.
11. Our completely wireless electronic locking solution is designed to eliminate the worry, time and costs associated with managing buildings and facilities – giving all users peace of mind.
Safety is always most important. Access control can greatly increase the protection of people, valuables and buildings. This can be educational establishments like schools or universities to which only authorised persons may have access, or office/public buildings or healthcare premises like hospitals and GP surgeries that house sensitive data or controlled substances.
As we have seen the needs of businesses and their staff change, particularly during the past two years, the pandemic has made way for increased choice in access control – both in person and remotely.
In the past, security personnel were often used as human access control, responsible for manually checking access and granting or denying access.
A more accurate and cost-effective solution is digital, electronic access control. Acting like a digital doorman, electronic access control delivers security and comfort by ensuring legitimate people have access while keeping uninvited guests out.
You tell the digital doorman which guests should be given WHEN and WHY access. The access control system ensures an optimal balance for a high level of security, convenient access and easy management. The complete system can be individually configured and adapted to the respective local conditions.
Keyless entry systems from SimonsVoss are designed to be long lasting and independently powered. Thanks to their battery-operated locks and readers, a sudden power outage will not take your security system offline. Every SimonsVoss door lock comes equipped with long-life batteries. This extended battery life offers an average of eight years’ service, which translates to roughly 180.000 individual activations.
Increasing numbers of organisations are choosing to move away from traditional mechanical keys. The upgrade process starts with a choice of keyless entry systems. There are different types of keyless entry systems to suit the varying challenges faced within commercial
properties. For example, some offices may function securely with simple key fobs, while others would benefit from more advanced smart key cards. The data storage capabilities of the SimonsVoss MIFARE key card range has dual functionality – not only securing your keyless entry office, but also operating equipment (such as printers) and making cashless purchases on-site.
The key fob system is another popular variety of keyless entry system. Often referred to as transponders, these ‘keys’ are used to unlock wireless electronic locks within multi-door commercial buildings. Main entrance doors to office buildings are commonly secured using key fobs. A network of key fob readers can be installed to recognise the unique signature of each authorised key fob in the network.
The benefits of key fobs include:
• Simplicity: easy to programme and easy to update in the event of loss, theft or resignation
• Affordability: key fobs sit at the more affordable end of the keyless technology spectrum
• Bulkier shape: attached to a keyring or handbag, fobs are less likely to slide out of sight, slip out of your hand or be left behind on a desk, counter or sink, than a thin plastic key card
Security within your office will be bolstered by the introduction of a keyless entry system. Traditional metal keys, for example, can be copied by criminals, while encrypted smart key cards cannot.
Keyless door entry systems are one of the most secure solutions available to commercial organisations. Using SimonsVoss software, security teams can quickly and easily secure an entire office (and even a network of remote offices). Employees’ permissions settings can be updated instantaneously during a security incident.
Office security is strengthened by the use of key cards and fobs, which can be cheaply replaced in the event of loss or theft. No more waiting for locksmiths to replace door locks and paying for new keys to be cut.
Keyless access systems are scalable by design, meaning you can start small and invest over time as your business grows. At the top end of the pricing scale is a package for 60,000+ users, meaning no matter how much you grow there’s a SimonsVoss solution to suit.
Starter kits for keyless entry systems cost less than £1,000. Containing keyless cylinders, active technology transponders and essential software accessories, these kits are often perfectly aligned with the needs of SMEs working from small commercial premises. Long-life batteries offer superb value for money, while replacement transponders have a low price point, especially when they are ordered in bulk.
