Access control installers Perth businesses call when the job is more than one lock: readers, controllers, door hardware, cabling, the network behind it and the software your staff will use, designed and installed as one system by a WA Police licensed security installer. We support all major brands, which means the platform is matched to the site rather than to what one brand's dealer happens to sell.
An access control installation touches door hardware, low-voltage cabling, IT networking and the security programming that ties them together. When those are split between separate contractors, the gaps show up at commissioning: a strike that does not suit the door, a reader cable run through a ceiling with no path to the controller, a switch port nobody allocated, a controller with no battery. We take responsibility for the whole system, coordinate the trades it needs, and hand over doors that work together rather than four invoices that each worked on their own.
Our technicians hold WA security installer licences (Great White Security Lic. 79960) and bring more than 21 years in the industry to the design, which is where most access control problems are either avoided or built in.
We install and service Gallagher, Inner Range Integriti and Inception, Tecom ChallengerPlus, UniFi Access, HID readers and credentials, Genetec, Verkada and Bosch, and we take over systems from other brands when the previous installer has moved on. Being able to work across all of them is the point: an enterprise site with accreditation requirements and a six-door pilates studio should not be sold the same platform, and a business that already runs one system should be able to extend it rather than start again.
The platform pages explain where each fits: Gallagher for high-security and multi-site estates, Inner Range for integrated access and intrusion, UniFi Access for licence-free door access with phone credentials, and the full brands list for everything else.
Security installation in Western Australia is licensed work under the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996, and you can check any installer's licence on the WA Police register before they start. Beyond the licence, the details that matter on a door are egress and fire: doors on a path of travel keep fail-safe hardware and a break-glass release, electromagnetic locks release on the fire alarm where the building's fire design requires it, and any mains power work is done by a licensed electrician. We design to those requirements from the start so a building certifier or fire contractor does not find a problem at the end.
Across the Perth metropolitan area for offices, strata and apartment buildings, medical and allied health, gyms and studios, warehouses and industrial sites, schools, clubs and facility-managed portfolios, with multi-site and regional WA work quoted per project. Smaller jobs are often one or two doors added to an existing system; larger ones run to a hundred doors across several buildings on one platform. This page is part of our access control Perth service, which covers the platforms, credentials and integrations in detail.
Yes. Great White Security holds WA security licence 79960 and our technicians hold individual installer licences under the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996. Any Perth business can verify a security licence on the WA Police licensing register before engaging an installer, and we encourage it.
Almost always. Timber, aluminium, steel and glass doors each take different lock hardware, and some doors need a transfer hinge or a new strike plate, but the door itself rarely needs replacing. Glass doors and automatic sliding doors need specific hardware and a clean cable path, which we confirm at the site walk so the quote reflects the doors you actually have.
Yes, and it goes better when we do. Networked controllers and cloud platforms need switch ports, sometimes a VLAN, and outbound internet for remote management. We give your IT provider a short list of what the system needs and agree it before installation day, so nothing is plugged into a network without the people who run it knowing.
It depends on the number of doors, the lock hardware each needs, whether cabling exists and hardware lead times. A couple of doors on an existing system is usually a short visit; a new multi-door system is scheduled in stages so the building keeps operating. We give a programme with the quote rather than a promise on this page, because every building is different.
Yes, if the system is designed for it, which is why we size the controller and enclosure for the doors you plan to add, not only the ones going in today. Networked platforms grow by adding door modules or controllers; cloud platforms grow by adding hubs. The first installation should never have to be replaced to add the second door.
It depends on the number of doors, the type of door and lock hardware, the credential and reader type, whether cabling and a network exist, the platform that suits the site and whether CCTV, intercom or alarm integration is included. Send us a door list with a photo of each door and we will quote from that, or arrange a site walk for larger buildings.
How many doors, what type each is, whether there is a system on the wall already and which platform you run if so. A floor plan with the doors marked, or a photo of each door and the comms cabinet, answers most of it and we will quote the installation from there.
