See Who's There. Let Them In. From Anywhere.
Door entry systems from Synel give you complete control over who enters your building — without needing to be at the door. Whether it's a visitor buzzing reception, a delivery at the gate, or a contractor arriving out of hours, you see them, speak to them, and let them in from wherever you are.
Simple to use. Professional to install. Built for buildings that need to run smoothly.
The reality today
A buzzer on the wall only works if someone's sitting next to it. Visitors are left waiting. Deliveries get missed. Staff have to drop what they're doing to answer the door. Gates and barriers need someone physically present to operate them.
It doesn't have to work that way.

About Door Entry Systems
Answer the door from your desk — or your phone
Video intercom panels at your entrance let you see and speak to visitors before granting access. Answer calls from a desk unit, a PC, or a mobile app. One person can cover multiple entry points without leaving their seat.
Control gates and barriers remotely
Front gates, car park barriers, loading bays — release them instantly with a single button press. No need for someone to walk out. No need for visitors to wait.
Know exactly who came and went
Every entry is logged with a timestamp and, where video is enabled, an image. Useful for visitor records, security reviews, and peace of mind.

Access Control FAQs
Common questions about access control answered.
What is access control?
Access control systems manage who can enter your premises, specific buildings or restricted areas.
They use credentials such as cards, PINs or biometrics to verify identity and grant or deny entry, while maintaining a complete audit trail of all access events.
What card technologies does Synel support?
Synel readers support all major card technologies: Mifare (13.56MHz), Proximity (125KHz), HID and HID iClass. Credentials can be standard ISO cards or key fobs.
If you have existing access control credentials, they will likely work with Synergy terminals.
The same card can be used for door access, time and attendance clocking, cashless catering and print release. One credential across all systems.
Can employees use the same credential for both time & attendance and door access?
Yes. Synel's integrated platform allows a single credential to work across multiple systems. Whether employees use a card, fob, fingerprint or facial recognition, the same credential can be used to clock in and gain door access at the same time.
This means one system and one enrolment process, reducing complexity and lowering overall cost. It also creates a simpler, more consistent experience for employees.
If enabled, the same credential can also be used for cashless catering and secure print release.
Can access control integrate with fire alarm systems?
Yes. Synel access control systems connect directly to building fire panels via the Adam Link controller.
Upon alarm activation, the system automatically unlocks designated doors, gates and turnstiles. Power is cut to magnetic locks, ensuring they fail-safe (unlock) instantly.
The system also generates instant roll call reports showing who is on site, supporting fire safety compliance and speeding up evacuation accountability.
Do you provide on-site support?
Yes. Unlike many competitors who rely on third-party installers, Synel employs our own team of engineers across the UK.
We handle installation, training and ongoing support directly. This means faster response times, consistent quality and engineers who know your system inside out.
