Access Control Systems in Fremantle
Controlled Entry For Limestone Cottages, Warehouse Conversions And West End Buildings
Fremantle buildings rarely take a standard fitting without a second look. Limestone heritage cottages have doors and frames that predate anything modern. Converted warehouses and studios often have one large entry doing all the work. West End commercial buildings sit under heritage overlays that restrict what can be changed on the outside, and North Fremantle's newer coastal apartments are a different proposition again.
That is why the entry gets inspected before we recommend a reader, keypad or smart lock. Where the frontage cannot be touched, hardware goes somewhere it will not show. Quotes cost nothing, and the install carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty and our lifetime workmanship warranty.
Fitting Access Control To Fremantle Buildings
Assessing an older door and frame first
Heritage cottages and warehouse conversions do not have uniform door hardware, so what can be fitted is settled on-site rather than assumed from a product list.
Respecting heritage overlay limits
Where facade work is restricted, we mount internally or on an existing gate and run cable through voids that are already there.
Securing the rear laneway door
Shared rear laneways are part of how Fremantle is built. A back-of-house door on a reader is far easier to manage than a back-of-house door on a key.
Handling staff turnover in the West End
Hospitality and retail tenancies change staff regularly. Disabling a card in software takes a moment and works across every door immediately.

Fremantle Access Control Questions
Will a reader fit an old limestone cottage door?
Often, but not always in the same way as a modern door. We look at the door and frame first and pick hardware that suits it rather than forcing a standard fitting.
Does a heritage overlay stop access control being installed?
It restricts what can change on the facade. Internal and jamb mounting with concealed cabling generally keeps the exterior as it is.
Can a warehouse conversion run one entry for several occupants?
Yes, with individual cards or fobs on the one door. Each occupant has their own credential and the log records which was used.
