This company saved me at 5pm on a Friday evening.
I had to change the door control to our London block of flats, and, despite us not being a client they gave me advice which contradicted the manual I had been given (which didn't work) and the advice from them did work!!
Thank you so much Door Controls Direct.

I have never known such dedication and kindness to help someone who has minimum experience in access control.

I was put through by the lovely ladies who hear you out at first, then direct you to the person who is suitable to help solve the problem.

I was put through to Glen who herd me out and gave me lots of advice that made me more confident in pursuing the job I was unsure of doing.

Glen then put me through Josh who deserves a medal 🏅 he's calm and problem solving suggestions guided me through a very complicated fault finding job, on 3 access control maglocks and power supply units with push pads and push emergency brake glass units.

I've been in the industry for 25 years and have spoke to so many different suppliers but have never come across such helpful people, im still so impressed.

I spoke to 2 companies before them and they just wanted to sell me the units without much help behind my problems even after explaining everything.

All of you are amazing, but Josh is a rare diamond 💎, he helped me through 6 visits to solve more issues than a box tissues.

This is a massive shout out to Josh and all of team @ Door Control Direct.

Absolute Legends 💯

We’re delighted we could help you feel confident tackling the job and that our advice proved valuable along the way. Hearing that we’ve stood out after your many years in the industry really means a lot to us.

If you ever need a hand again, don’t hesitate to reach out, we’re always just a call away.
