Perth Access Control Systems
Upgrade your home security with a reliable access control system that gives you keyless entry, secure door and gate control and complete flexibility over who can access your property. Our solutions integrate with intercoms and alarms to provide simple, safe and convenient control of front doors, security gates and roller doors.
Smart Access Control for Perth Homes
Access control systems provide a secure way to manage entry points throughout your home without relying on traditional keys. With electric strikes fitted to front doors, gates or roller doors, you can unlock access points using a keypad, card, RFID tag, mobile device, or other approved credentials.
Many homeowners use access control as part of their wider home security setup, combining it with intercom systems, security gate entry, or home alarm systems for greater convenience and safety. Whether you want keyless entry at your front door, controlled access to side gates, or the ability to open your roller door remotely, an access control system streamlines your entire home entry experience.
Our systems support multiple unlocking methods including numeric keypads, proximity cards, RFID tags, Bluetooth, NFC and facial recognition, depending on your chosen equipment.
Sifer Readers
Sifer readers provide keypad or RFID access through sleek, modern panels. With multiple keypad designs and tag options, choosing the right model can be challenging, so we have several units available for testing at our Booragoon showroom.
Numeric readers

What an Access Control System Needs to Operate
A complete access control setup requires three main components:
1. Control Device (Intercom, Interface or Sifer Reader)
This device sends the unlock command. These options support several unlocking methods including keypads, RFID cards, tags, facial recognition, proximity readers and optional mobile app control.
2. Electric Strike
The electric strike is the part that physically unlocks and locks your door or gate. HCSWA uses trusted suppliers for all electric strike installations and manages both supply and installation when required. We then configure the strike through your chosen access system.
3. Switching Power
Power is required to operate the strike and control latch timing.
We configure your system to operate in either:
Fail safe mode: unlocks during a power outage for safe exit.
Fail secure mode: remains locked during power loss to prevent unauthorised entry.
The mode is selected based on your home’s security requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a keypad, card or tag to unlock my front door or gate?
Yes. Our access control systems support keypads, RFID cards, proximity tags and other credential types depending on the reader you choose. These can be installed at front doors, side gates or roller doors for convenient keyless entry.
Can I automate access for family members or visitors?
Yes. You can create access codes or credentials for approved users and set specific access times. This is ideal for cleaners, gardeners, family members or temporary visitors who need controlled entry.
Does access control work during a power outage?
Electric strikes can be configured to operate in either fail safe or fail secure mode. This means the system can be set to unlock for safe exit during a power cut, or remain locked for security. We configure this based on your home and preferred operation.
Can access control be integrated with my home alarm system?
Yes. When paired with a compatible alarm system, unlocking your door or gate can automatically disarm the alarm, making access smoother and avoiding the need to reach the keypad within the entry delay
Can I upgrade my existing door lock to an access control system?
In many cases yes. We assess your door hardware, wiring and preferred access method to recommend the most suitable upgrade path. Electric strikes and readers can often be added to existing doors and gates.
