Door Entry Direct

10/07/2026

A power supply should tell you when something's wrong.

The RGL Electronics SMART-G3 does exactly that. The full LCD display monitors battery health, while three fault outputs cover mains fail, battery fail and output fail.

Grade 3, EN50131-6, up to 92% efficient, and it recharges an 18aH battery (min 10v) to 80% in 24 hours.

Now available on our site 😎

2026 is the year of smarter door entry installs.

UK sites like schools, multi-occupancy buildings, and commercial estates are pushing for longer cable runs without repeaters, signal loss, or extra costs.

Short-range PoE is creating more wiring, more time, and more headaches.

Enter the SRS Smart Unmanaged PoE Switch:

- 300 m extended range for stable long-distance performance.
- Self-healing watchdog auto-reboots unresponsive devices.
- Zero laptop config — DIP toggles for VLAN & extend mode
- Reliable power for IP video entry & multi-device setups.

Deeper runs, fewer issues, better margins.

Quick tip that saves hours (and massive headaches) 😎

When retrofitting or quoting door entry or access control, ask this one question before you leave site:

"What happens if the power fails or the system goes offline?"

Most people say "nothing" or "we'll just use keys"… then realise:

• Electric locks stay locked (or unlocked)
• No manual override on some models
• Residents or staff locked out in an emergency
• Fire officer or insurance flags it

Simple fixes that stop disasters:
• Fail-safe vs fail-secure lock choice
• Battery backup on critical parts
• Manual key override or exit button plan
• Documented emergency procedures

Ask it early and save massive headaches later.
