Comelit-PAC has partnered with Harrold Jones Services to deliver a secure access control solution at the Warmstry Court housing development near Worcester. The complex includes several general needs properties rented by Sanctuary Housing.
Its central location has posed unique security challenges, particularly regarding access control for the building’s car park and residential areas. After a risk assessment of the site’s needs, Harrold Jones Services collaborated with Comelit-PAC to design and install a tailored access control solution incorporating Comelit-PAC’s Housing Central combined with anti-cloning credentials, enabling site managers to moni-tor and control access from any PC or smart device.
Sanctuary Housing Scheme Manager Kim Tolnai said: “The upgraded access control system has com-pletely transformed how we manage the site. Residents now feel much more secure, and we have full control over who can enter the building and use the car park. The ability to monitor the system remotely has also been embraced by our management team.”
The installation included high-frequency vandal-resistant readers on both the car park barrier and main entry points, integrated with Comelit-PAC’s 512 series controllers and the Housing Central gateway. This combination ensures only authorised residents can access the property and its parking facilities.
A key feature of the new system is the assurance of 128-bit encrypted OPS tokens to all residents. These secure tokens ensure that only authorised individuals can gain access, putting an end to the cloning is-sues that had previously plagued the site.
