Wireless Access Control Systems
Secure access for every door, without running a single cable.
Battery-powered wireless locks for offices, estates and multi-site organisations, fitted to your existing doors and managed from one platform.
A wireless access control system controls who can open each door without any cabling to the door. Each lock is battery-powered and communicates wirelessly, so people use a key fob, card, PIN or smartphone and you manage permissions centrally.
That makes wireless access control faster and cheaper to install than a wired system, and much easier to extend as your estate grows.
Why wired access control holds estates back
1. Every door needs cabling for power and data
4. Adding doors or sites means more wiring and cost
2. Installation means building work and downtime
5. Many doors stay on mechanical keys because wiring them is not worth it
3. Older and listed buildings limit where cables can go
HOW WIRELESS ACCESS CONTROL WORKS
Wireless access control replaces the cabling with secure radio communication between the lock, the credential and the software.
Digital cylinders or smart handles replace the existing lock hardware. You then decide in the software who can open which doors and when. People unlock with a key fob, card, PIN or smartphone, and you can change permissions at any time.
For real-time control, SimonsVoss locks can be connected through the SimonsVoss wireless network, so changes reach every door straight away.
What this looks like in practice:
- No cables to run to any door
- Access granted or removed in seconds
- All doors, users and sites managed from one system
- Access activity available when you need it
FLEXIBLE WAYS TO UNLOCK AND ENTER
Different doors and users need different credentials. A wireless system lets you mix them and manage them all in the same software.
- Key fobs and transponders, the most common choice for staff entry
- Smart cards, which can often double as staff ID
- PIN codes for shared spaces, contractors and temporary access
- Mobile access, so staff open doors with their smartphone
You can mix these across your estate so each door works exactly as it should.
INSTALLED WITHOUT REWIRING
Installation is the biggest worry with any access control upgrade. Wired systems mean drilling, cable runs and changes to doors and frames, with the downtime and cost that brings.
SimonsVoss locks are wireless and battery-powered, so they fit your existing doors. Most installations are quick and work around your normal operations.
- No cabling for power or data
- Fits existing doors and frames
- Faster, cleaner installation with less disruption
This is usually where businesses see the biggest difference compared with wired systems.

Wireless access control suits any building where cabling every door would be costly or disruptive.
- Offices and commercial properties
- Managed property and estates
- Healthcare and care homes

CONTROL ACCESS WITHOUT BEING ON SITE
With mechanical keys, managing access usually means being there. Wireless access control removes that.
You can update permissions in real time and manage every door and site through one platform, without separate systems for each building.
- Assign access by individual or group
- Set time-based permissions
- Manage multiple sites centrally
- Review access activity when needed
Everything is designed to be quick to update and easy to understand.
