What Are Door Entry Systems?

UK Regulations for Door Entry Systems
While door entry systems are primarily a security and safeguarding measure, their installation and operation must comply with a range of UK regulations and standards, including:
- The Data Protection Act (UK GDPR) – Any system that collects or records personal data (e.g., video entry or access logs) must be lawfully processed, stored securely, and used with consent where necessary.
- The Equality Act 2010 – Door entry systems must be accessible for disabled users, with considerations for visual, auditory, and mobility impairments.
- The Building Regulations (Part M) – Requires buildings to be easily accessible for all, influencing placement and usability of entry systems.
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – Businesses have a legal duty to protect employees and visitors, which includes managing building access.
- Fire Safety Regulations – Access control systems must fail safe or integrate with fire alarms to allow safe evacuation in emergencies.
Why Door Entry Systems Matter for Your Business
Without proper access control, your business is vulnerable to a range of security, operational, and legal risks:
