Paxton Net2, HID Signo, Inner Range Integriti, and ZKTeco for offices, schools, body-corporate buildings, and industrial sites — with mobile, card, PIN, and biometric credentials.
Access control replaces keys with credentials you can issue, restrict, and revoke. Instead of changing locks every time someone leaves, you click a button and the credential is dead. Instead of guessing who opened the server room at 11pm last Tuesday, you read it off the audit log. Instead of giving the cleaner a master key, you give them a credential that works between 6am and 8am only and expires when their contract ends.
Every Comsys access-control install starts with a free site visit. We walk the building, ask which doors need to be controlled, who needs access to what (and when), and how the credentials should be managed day-to-day. From there we recommend a specific platform — not “an access control system” — and a specific reader type per door.
The reader is half the system; the lock is the other half. We size and specify lock hardware for each door:
Every controlled door has to allow free egress in an emergency. Under the NZ Building Code (clause D1), doors on escape routes must be openable from inside without a key, special tool, or specialised knowledge. For mag-locked doors that means a Request-to-Exit sensor (or push-to-exit button) plus a manual break-glass that physically cuts power to the lock. We design every install to meet D1 and document the egress arrangement in the commissioning pack.
Yes. The credential (card, mobile, PIN) is associated with a user; the user has rules about which doors they can open, when. A staff member might have access to the main entry, the office, and the kitchen during business hours; the IT manager additionally has the server room 24/7. Cleaners get a credential that works for two hours after their start time and expires at contract end.
Yes for Paxton Net2 Entry and HID Mobile Access. The credential is cached on the phone; the reader exchanges it via Bluetooth or NFC even without internet. The management platform syncs revocations when connectivity is restored. For sites where instant revocation matters (high-security data centres), we configure offline-tolerance windows accordingly.
Yes — most modern access platforms support HR integration via webhooks or scheduled imports. When an employee is marked “terminated” in HR, their credentials are automatically revoked across all doors. This eliminates the lag between someone leaving and IT remembering to update access. We’ll scope the integration as part of the design.
Lock hardware is sized for power loss: fail-secure locks stay locked, fail-safe locks unlock. Emergency-egress doors are always fail-safe so people can leave. Battery-backed mag-locks hold the door for 4–8 hours on UPS; for longer outages the doors release and people can leave but external doors cannot be entered without a key. We document the power-loss behaviour for each door in the commissioning pack.
Most single-door retrofits are half a day to a day. A 3–5 door office fit-out is typically 2–3 days including cabling, reader installation, lock fitting, and commissioning. Larger Inner Range or multi-floor sites are scheduled across a week or more. We confirm the timeline in writing before booking and work outside business hours where required.

This calculator is a guide only. Final pricing depends on the site visit — specific camera models, mounting access, cable routing, and any access control or alarm integration can move the number up or down. We always quote in writing after a free on-site assessment, with brand and model itemised so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
