Security & access
Deciding who gets through the door
Biometric and card access, gate automation, intruder alarms, fire detection and video door phones. Every one of these jobs touches a door or an escape route, so each page states what happens when the power fails as plainly as it states the price.
Biometric Access Control
Biometric access control replaces keys with a fingerprint or face reader on the door, so entry is granted per person and logged with a timestamp. A single office door with reader, electromagnetic lock, exit button and backup power runs PKR 35,000 to 60,000 fitted in Islamabad, depending on the lock and the door.

- PKR 35,000
- Time
- One door is a half-day; a four-door office with a shared controller takes one to two days
RFID Card & Keypad Locks
RFID cards and keypad codes control who opens a door without touching a reader, which suits warehouses, workshops and shared offices where hands are dirty or staff turn over quickly. A card-controlled door starts around PKR 28,000 fitted, and cards are cancelled from the software the day someone leaves.

- PKR 28,000
- Time
- A single door is a half-day; adding doors to an existing controller is usually an hour each
Gate & Barrier Automation
Gate automation puts a motor, safety sensors and a remote on an existing sliding or swing gate; a boom barrier does the same job for a car park entrance. A sliding gate motor fitted runs PKR 85,000 to 180,000 in Islamabad depending on leaf weight, and a boom barrier starts near PKR 150,000.
- From
- PKR 85,000
- Time
- A sliding gate is one day including the plinth cure; a boom barrier is one to two days
Intruder & Burglar Alarms
An intruder alarm covers the doors, windows and open floor of a premises with contacts and motion sensors, and sounds a siren plus a phone alert when the building is armed. A shop or house with a panel, keypad, siren and six sensors runs PKR 45,000 to 90,000 fitted in the twin cities.
- From
- PKR 45,000
- Time
- A shop is a single day; a house with an upper storey usually takes two
Fire & Smoke Detection
A fire detection system links smoke and heat detectors, manual call points and sounders to a panel that tells you which zone triggered. A conventional four-zone panel with detectors and sounders for a small office or plaza floor starts near PKR 60,000 installed, priced per detection point after that.
- From
- PKR 60,000
- Time
- A single floor is one to two days including commissioning
Video Door Phone & Intercom
A video door phone puts a camera and speaker at the gate and a screen inside, so you see and talk to a caller before opening. A single-house system with an outdoor unit, indoor monitor and gate-release wiring runs PKR 25,000 to 70,000 fitted, depending on screen count and whether it also releases the gate.
- From
- PKR 25,000
- Time
- A single-monitor house is a half-day; an apartment block is quoted per unit
