FACILITY & BUILDING MANAGERS
Manage every door, gate and alarm from one screen. We configure Gallagher Command Centre so your team can issue and revoke credentials in seconds, run access and audit reports on demand, and receive real-time alerts the moment something needs attention – across one building or an entire portfolio.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS & DEVELOPERS
Add a future-proof, tenant-ready security platform that lifts the value and appeal of your asset. Gallagher scales cleanly from base-build to full fit-out, integrates with lifts, HVAC and lighting, and gives multi-tenanted buildings clean separation between occupants.
GOVERNMENT, DEFENCE & CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Gallagher is trusted on some of the most secure sites in the country. We deliver hardened, end-to-end encrypted installations and scope solutions aligned to your site’s security policy, access tiers and audit requirements.
HEALTHCARE, AGED CARE & EDUCATION
Protect people and restricted areas without getting in the way of daily life – from ward and medication-room security in aged care to campus-wide access and rapid lockdown across schools and universities. We tailor Gallagher to the way your site actually runs.
FAQ
What is Gallagher access control?
Gallagher is an enterprise-grade access control and security platform used to manage who can enter which doors, gates and areas of a site, and when. It combines controllers, readers, credentials and the Gallagher Command Centre management software into one system that also handles alarms, monitoring and integration with CCTV, intercom and building services. It scales from a single door to global, multi-site operations.
Do you install Gallagher for both small businesses and large sites?
Yes. Gallagher offers a cloud-based SMB solution ideal for small offices, franchises and single sites, right through to the server-based Command Centre platform for enterprise, and High Security configurations for government and critical infrastructure. We scope and install the right tier for your site and budget, with room to grow.
Can Gallagher integrate with our existing CCTV, alarms and building systems?
Yes. One of Gallagher’s biggest strengths is integration. We can unify access, intruder alarms, CCTV, intercom, lifts, HVAC and lighting so they work together – for example, triggering cameras on an alarm, or releasing doors on a fire event. We assess your current equipment and build the integration around it.
Can staff use their phone instead of a swipe card?
Yes. Gallagher Mobile Connect turns a smartphone into a secure credential, and staff can add a digital pass to their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for tap-to-enter access. Mobile credentials are quick to issue, easy to revoke and reduce the cost and waste of physical cards.
We have an old Cardax or another brand of system – can you upgrade us?
Yes. We handle upgrades and migrations, including legacy Gallagher Cardax FT systems and competitor platforms. Gallagher’s QuickSwitch program lets many sites reuse existing cabling and readers, so you can often modernise in stages without ripping everything out. See our Gallagher Upgrades & Migration page for details.
How much does a Gallagher access control system cost?
It depends on the number of doors, the readers and credentials you choose, the software tier and any integrations. We understand it’s reassuring to know costs upfront, so we provide a clear written quote after a free site security design, and we always check with you before any additional work is undertaken. Call DUKE Electrical Group for a quote.
How quickly can you get out to our site?
Response times vary with our team’s availability and your location, but we can usually attend for a site assessment within a day or two, and sooner for urgent access or security faults. Chat to our team if you need us urgently.
Do you service and maintain systems you didn't originally install?
Yes. We take over service, maintenance and support for existing Gallagher installations across Melbourne. We’ll audit the current system, document it, and put a preventative maintenance and support agreement in place so it stays reliable, secure and up to date.
