large external door & buzzer needed...

CB1979_2

hi guys, am in charge of my Residents Association and we need a new door & keypad buzzer really.

it's an old victorian building so ideally need it to look nice (possibly with double/triple glazed panels)

1) wooden door - 6ft 7 x 3ft (2007mm x 914mm)

2) we have an old buzzer system there, ideally would like a straight swap but with a keypad instead to let us in rather than a key.

at the moment it only has a yale lock that has a release switch when buzzed in.
and this is shot as you can just push on the door and it opens when it's "locked".

so any suggestions??

You can add a code keypad to most existing entry systems eg

The door release should just be two wires (12V) from the door entry system control unit to the release mechanism. Any competent joiner should be able to incorporate this into a new door and frame. Bear in mind most of these mechanisms 'fail-secure' ie if there's a power cut the door stays locked - so if you're outside without a key, you stay outside.

Last block I was in, electrician charged £100 per flat (x 8 flats) to replace the entry phone system, using the existing wiring but new panel and handsets.
