DOOR ACCESS & ENTRY
Door access systems are a popular security feature in buildings that allow access only to authorised personnel. To ensure that door access systems operate efficiently and securely, regular maintenance is essential.
The maintenance requirements for door access systems in the UK typically include an annual inspection, cleaning, and testing of the system components. The door access system should be regularly checked to ensure that it is functioning correctly and that all components, including the reader, the locking mechanism, and the access control panel, are in good working condition. The system should also be updated regularly to ensure that it is compatible with any new technology or security upgrades.
A qualified engineer should carry out any maintenance work on door access systems. Proper maintenance of door access systems is essential to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the building, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorised access and theft.

Maintenance Requirements
Regular maintenance of emergency lighting is essential to ensure that the system is functioning correctly and will provide adequate lighting in the event of an emergency or power failure. Maintenance tasks include simulating power failure, testing the battery backup system (if applicable), cleaning the lights and diffusers, and ensuring that the system is in compliance with all relevant regulations. Rapid Fire & Security are NIC EIC accredited to work on these systems.
The frequency of maintenance tasks varies depending on the type of system and the environment in which it is installed however full duration 3 hour drops annually are the norm and should be carried out by a qualified and competent person. It is important to note that failure to maintain emergency lighting systems can result in serious consequences, such as injury or loss of life, and can also potentially result in legal action if standards aren’t adhered to.
