Retrofitting modern security to old or protected heritage buildings used to be an installer’s nightmare. Wiring could be complex, with damage to ancient architecture or door hardware a constant risk. Now, wireless access control devices that match the protection and durability of wired technology, have made it straightforward.

Intrusion has to be stopped. Yet, installation, wiring and larger modifications present a unique set of challenges in an older building.
