How Electro UK supports the Education sector

Electro UK value our education services and want to ensure that they have the best possible technology for their locations. We are a leading provider of access solutions and security technology, offering a portfolio of bespoke products that can be customised to fit your neElectro UK.

Our community is important to us, and we support both the private and public sectors within education. Here’s how we support our schools, colleges and universities.

On-premise solutions for schools and colleges

Our bespoke products are designed and built here in the UK. We are accredited by companies and organisations across the UK, as specialists in providing all kinds of robust entrances and exits, as well as electrical and security products. Here are some of our top products and services for the education sector.

Automatic gates for schools

We provide custom, purpose build automatic gates of all variations for education entrances and exits to car parks and walkways. These can be seamlessly deployed into existing structures and integrated into access control systems and security systems. Choose from between a variety of sliding gates, swinging gates, telescopic gates and many more.

Access control for schools

Large education premises may likely need access control for staff and restricted zones for staff-only areas. We can deliver solutions that grant access to staff by way of key fobs, pin codes and intercoms where necessary. Electro UK can install fully integrated systems that connect to your on-site IT and CCTV systems, which can send alerts and updates to your schools’ governing bodies where necessary. 

CCTV for schools

On site security is of utmost importance for safeguarding young people. Education premises need reliable and high-functioning CCTV systems to provide the best security. Our bespoke CCTV systems can ensure that trespassers are caught on camera, even in the dark. See our full range of IP based CCTV cameras and security technology.

Railings and fencing for schools

We offer bespoke fencing of different aesthetics and heights, to keep perimeters safe and secure. These solutions are scalable, based on your premises size and can be tailored to any specification.

Turnstiles for schools

Control the people flow of your college or university using turnstiles and speed lanes. These are customisable and can be deployed to fit perfectly alongside your entrances and access control systems. They also offer a modern design aesthetic to larger buildings.

Electrical cables and infrastructure for schools
