Key suite systems

The University of Derby is looking in to replacing and upgrading its current lock and key suite/ systems across multiple halls of residences across the city and is currently conducting market research in to potential options, with the view to tendering the contract later this year. Any system would need to integrate in to it block, flat, bedroom and communal doors, (currently approx. 6000 doors across 7 sites) preferably with an electronic lock and key system that can be controlled from, or have information obtained from IT devices such as PC's, laptops and potentially mobile phones.

We are seeking to understand what options the market has to offer than are safe, secure, easy to use and have manual override systems built in. The University would like to understand what products there may be on the market and how they differ to the systems mentioned above
