Stairwell Door Access Stairwells are the back door to every floor. Lock them, safely.

Card locks on every stairwell door: residents tap in, anyone can exit, and every door opens in a fire.

Today's reality

Today anyone in the stairwell can walk onto any floor. Card locks on every stairwell door let residents tap in, let anyone exit, and release every door when the fire alarm sounds.

Our approach

Card entry from the stairwell, free exit, fire release.

From the door to the log, in four steps.

  1. Tap to enter floor

    • RFID card entry on the stairwell side of every door
    Platform screen: access-terminal event list with face and palm icons
  2. Free to exit

    Push button on the corridor side.

    • 600 lbs fail-safe EM lock on each door

  3. Forced? Siren

    Siren plus control room and phone alert.

    • Push-button free exit from the corridor side
    Platform dashboard: camera grid, alert list, floor plan and KPI cards
  4. Fire? All open

    Fire alarm releases every door at once.

Why RS Techwin

Built, installed and watched by one team.

  • In-house engineering

    We build and customise our systems rather than resell boxes, so a solution can be shaped to the building instead of the other way round.

  • Our own technicians

    Installation, commissioning and repairs are done by RS Techwin staff who know the site.

  • One ecosystem

    Eleven solutions from one vendor that share one dashboard and one maintenance contract, so nothing falls between suppliers.

Platform integration

Every door and barrier reports to the same platform.

Every solution reports to the same platform, so an alert from one system can be checked against the others.

Isometric diagram: cameras, readers, barriers and sensors at the bottom, the AI monitoring core in the middle, a control-room screen and a phone on top
  • Platform

    Who tapped, who drove in, what the camera saw

    Card, face, palm and plate events sit beside the camera feeds on the AI visual monitoring platform, so a guard can check an entry against the picture from that moment.

  • Field-operations app

    Readers and barriers serviced on record

    A reader, lock or barrier fault reaches the technician in the field-operations app with the door's details; the visit, checklist and photos are logged as they happen.

  • Control room and maintenance

    Alarms seen by people who can act

    Forced-door and blacklist alerts reach our control room as well as the guardhouse, and the same team services the readers, locks and barriers it installed.

Getting started

From site survey to handover.

  1. Site survey and risk review

    An engineer walks the site, maps entry points and blind spots, and reviews what you already have.

  2. Design and proposal with three-quote compliance

    A clear design and itemised proposal, prepared to support your committee's three-quote process.

  3. Installation by our own technicians

    Our in-house team cables, installs and commissions every system.

  4. Handover, training and maintenance

    We train your guards and managers, hand over documentation and stay on for maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Who is it for?

Residential high-rises.

Does it work with the cards our residents already carry?

The readers take RFID cards and the same design is used on every door, so it fits into the building's door access rather than running beside it. The survey confirms the card type and the fire alarm interface.

What happens in a fire?

The fire alarm releases every door at once: the 600 lbs EM locks are fail-safe, and the corridor side always has a push-button free exit. A forced or held-open door sounds the siren and alerts the control room and the phone.

Who maintains it?

Our own technicians, under a maintenance contract: scheduled servicing and health reports. The engineers who install a system are the ones who maintain it.

How do we start?

With a site survey: an engineer walks the site, maps entry points and blind spots and reviews what you already have. You then get a clear design and an itemised proposal prepared to support your committee's three-quote process.
