Door Entry Systems and Magnetic Swipe Cards

Whatever you need from access control, we can make it happen.

Our door entry systems can be a simple single door, hardwired to a reception point allowing remote speech communication to callers, or even linked to your telephone network routed to your mobile phone anywhere in the world, giving you control over gates, doors or car park barriers simply using your mobile phone keypad; truly amazing technology, used by Spectra every day.

Maintaining quality in tough times

All companies and organisations be they in the public or private sector are having to make savings and cut costs.

Small businesses, like Spectra, feel this effect quicker because of our exposure to reducing credit limits, banking facilities being altered, and reduction in orders. The obvious answer is to reduce costs to our customers, to increase sales, but how to do this when energy costs are soaring and bank charges and taxes have to be paid?

Lots of organisations sacrifice product quality for cost, after all many specifications are 'open ended' and if the product performs a function then cheapest is best, isn’t it? Er, well, no actually.

Surely, best value and cost of ownership have a part to play, for example, we have access control systems that are working perfectly and were installed over 10 years ago. We continue to service and maintain them, the choice of system for the customer has given them almost the best cost of ownership in the industry.

So, yes times are tough. Cost is important, but we think cost of ownership and getting the best value for the organisation is even more important.
