Automated Locking Systems
Our Automated Locking System is multi-dimensional, it can either be used to keep someone in or keep someone out. We can install this system onto a door, gate, window, or cupboard which will ensure they can only be opened by a person who is in possession of a tag, if this is not the case they would remain in the secured state.
Maglock Locking System
The MagLock Locking System is an electromagnetic locking system which can be fitted to windows, any type of door including cupboard/storage units and draw units to offer additional peace of mind whether that be down to the need for extra security or to stop a person from injuring themselves.
Video Door Latch Release
Our Video Door Latch Release System allows a client to be alerted to a visitor at their door via a fixed video monitor which are placed in a convenient location within their home. The monitor is connected to a doorbell camera or visitors panel which can be used to both see and speak to the visitor. If the client wishes to let the visitor in the door may then be released using a button on the monitor or via a Transmitter. Additional monitors can be added so the client can be informed of any visitors at all times.
I am a Technical Officer working on behalf of a local authority and I have used Ridley Electronics on a quite a few occasions now. I have found them to be a very reliable contractor with an excellent product and are extremely amicable. I would certainly highly recommend giving them a go.
