Where is door entry used in Boston?
Shared housing is a big part of the work. When national HMO licensing widened in 2018, Boston Borough Council expected more than 1,400 houses in multiple occupation to need a licence. Every shared front door needs a way for residents to see or hear who is calling.
On the commercial side, food factories, packhouses and offices put entry panels at reception, staff gates and goods-in doors, so visitors and drivers can be checked before they reach the site.
What should Boston building owners know about door entry?
A property lived in by five or more people forming two or more households, who share facilities, needs an HMO licence from Boston Borough Council. Check any licence conditions before changing the front door or its locks.
In the conservation area around the Market Place, panels and cables on a frontage need careful placing, and listed building consent may be needed before anything is fixed to a listed building.
Doors on escape routes must still open easily from inside. Any electric lock fitted with a door entry system should release when the fire alarm sounds or the power fails.
What should you check before choosing a door entry company in Boston?
- Decide between audio and video, and whether calls go to a handset, a phone app or both.
- Check how the lock releases when the fire alarm sounds or the power fails.
- For listed buildings and the conservation area, ask how the panel and cables will be fitted and hidden.
- For shared houses, ask how tenants are added and removed as they move in and out.
- Ask whether the system can link to access control fobs and CCTV.
- Compare maintenance terms, including call-out times and replacement handsets.
Common questions about door entry companies in Boston
Does a shared house in Boston need a door entry system?
There is no general rule that it must have one, but it is a common way to keep a shared front door secure. An HMO lived in by five or more people from two or more households needs a licence from Boston Borough Council, so check its conditions first.
Can I fit a door entry panel to a listed building in Boston?
Often, yes, with care. Many Market Place buildings are listed and sit in the conservation area. Choose a panel that suits the frontage, keep cables hidden, and check with Boston Borough Council first.
Can I answer the door when I am away from the site?
Yes, with a system that connects to an app. Calls from the panel go to your phone, so you can see and speak to a visitor or driver and open the door remotely.
Can door entry and access control work together?
Yes. Many panels include a fob or code reader, so staff and residents let themselves in while visitors use the call button. This suits food factories as well as shared houses.
What happens to a door entry lock in a fire?
On an escape route, the door must still open easily from inside. Electric locks should release when the fire alarm sounds or the power fails, and the installer should test this at handover.
