Access Control Systems for Auckland Businesses

Access control in Auckland has become essential for businesses serious about security. Whether you need to restrict entry to a single door or manage access across multiple sites, we design and install systems that give you complete control over who enters your premises — and when.

AR Electronics partners with industry-leading brands including Gallagher, ICT Protege, ZKTeco, and Inner Range to deliver access control solutions that scale with your business.

Why Your Business Needs Access Control

A traditional key

Traditional keys create headaches. They get lost, copied, and passed around. When an employee leaves, you're left wondering who still has access — and paying for lock replacements.

Access control systems solve these problems by putting you in charge. You decide who can enter, which doors they can open, and what times access is permitted. When someone leaves the business, you revoke their access in seconds — no locksmith required.
Beyond security, access control delivers real operational benefits:

Eliminate key management — no more cutting keys or changing locks when staff turnover occurs

Create audit trails — know exactly who entered each area and when

Reduce insurance premiums — many insurers offer discounts for electronic access control

Integrate with other systems — connect access control with alarms, CCTV, and building management

Improve health and safety — restrict access to hazardous areas and track who's on-site during emergencies

For Auckland businesses managing multiple staff, contractors, and visitors, access control isn't just about security — it's about running a smarter operation.

Access Control Solutions We Install

Every business has different security requirements.

We design systems tailored to your property, your risks, and your daily operations

— from a single door solution to enterprise-wide deployments across multiple locations.

Card & Fob Access Systems

The most common access control method for commercial premises. Employees carry a proximity card or key fob that unlocks doors when presented to a reader. Lost cards can be deactivated instantly, and new cards issued in minutes.

Cards and fobs work well for offices, warehouses, apartment buildings, and any environment where you need simple, reliable access for multiple users.

Biometric Access Control

For higher security environments, biometric systems use unique physical characteristics — fingerprints, facial recognition, or palm vein patterns — to verify identity. Unlike cards, biometrics can't be lost, stolen, or shared.

Biometric access control is ideal for server rooms, pharmaceutical storage, cash handling areas, and any location where you need absolute certainty about who's entering.

We install ZKTeco biometric terminals offering fingerprint, facial recognition, and multi-factor authentication options.

Keypad & PIN Entry Systems

PIN code entry provides simple, cost-effective access control without cards or fobs. Users enter a code on a keypad to unlock doors. Codes can be changed easily and assigned to individuals for tracking purposes.

Keypads work well as standalone solutions for low-traffic doors or as a backup method alongside cards or biometrics.

QR Code and Mobile Access Control with Swipe Fob/Tag/Card

Mobile Credential Access

Your smartphone becomes your access card. Mobile credentials use Bluetooth technology to unlock doors when you approach with an authorised device. No cards to carry, no fobs to lose.

Mobile access is increasingly popular for modern offices and multi-tenancy buildings where convenience and security need to work together. Gallagher's Mobile Connect and ICT's Protege Mobile app both offer secure smartphone-based access.

Trusted Access Control Brands

We're brand-agnostic — we recommend the right system for your requirements, not the one with the biggest margin. Our team is trained and certified across multiple platforms, giving you access to the best technology available.
