Frequently asked questions about Access Control Cert

What is fail-safe vs fail-secure?
Fail-safe locks unlock when power is lost (used on fire escape routes — doors must open freely in a fire). Fail-secure locks remain locked when power is lost (used where security is paramount). Fire escape routes must always be fail-safe.
Does access control need fire alarm integration?
Yes. Access control on fire escape routes must release automatically when the fire alarm activates. This is a Building Regulations Part B requirement. The integration must be tested during commissioning and recorded on the certificate.
