GALLAGHER ACCESS CONTROL INSTALLATION ACROSS MELBOURNE
Looking for a Gallagher access control installer in Melbourne? DUKE Electrical Group deliver Gallagher installations end to end – design, cabling, hardware, programming, commissioning and handover – for commercial, government, healthcare and industrial sites right across the city. As authorised installers of Gallagher, and licensed electricians (REC 35838), we’re one of the few teams who can carry a project from the switchboard to the software without subcontracting the hard parts.
A Gallagher system is only as good as its installation. Poor cabling, badly placed readers or a rushed configuration will undermine even the best hardware. We get the fundamentals right so your system is reliable on day one and for years after.
How a DUKE Gallagher installation works
1. Site security design. We walk your site, map every door, gate and restricted area, and design the access tiers, hardware and network layout around how your building actually operates.
2. Cabling & hardware. Our electricians install clean, compliant structured cabling and mount Gallagher Controller 7000 units, HBUS I/O modules and readers to specification.
3. Programming & commissioning. We configure Gallagher Command Centre – cardholders, access groups, schedules, alarms and integrations – then test every door and credential before handover.
4. Training & documentation. We train your team and hand over full as-built records so you’re never left guessing how your system is wired or configured.
Get a Gallagher installer who understands both the security and the electrical side of the job. Call DUKE Electrical Group on 1300 003 853 to book a free site security design, and we’ll show you exactly how we’d secure your Melbourne site with Gallagher.

NEW BUILDINGS & FIT-OUTS
We work alongside builders, architects and electrical contractors to design Gallagher access control into the base-build and fit-out, so cabling and door hardware are coordinated before the walls close up.
OCCUPIED SITES & RETROFITS
Need to add access control to a live, operating building? We stage installations to minimise disruption, working after hours where required and cutting over doors in a planned sequence.
MULTI-SITE ROLL-OUTS
For businesses with several locations, we deliver consistent Gallagher installations across every site, all reporting into one central Command Centre so your team manages the whole estate from one place.
INTEGRATED SECURITY
Access control rarely stands alone. We install and integrate Gallagher with intruder alarms, CCTV, intercom and building services so every system works together, not in isolation.
FAQ
Are you licensed to install Gallagher access control?
Yes. DUKE Electrical Group are licensed electricians (REC 35838), fully insured, and authorised installers of Gallagher access control. Because access control involves both electrical work and low-voltage security cabling, using a licensed electrical contractor keeps your installation safe, compliant and properly certified.
What hardware does a Gallagher installation include?
A typical installation includes one or more Gallagher controllers (such as the Controller 7000), HBUS input/output modules, door readers (card, PIN, biometric or mobile), electric locks or strikes, request-to-exit devices, and the Command Centre software that ties it all together. We specify the exact mix during your site design.
Will installation disrupt our business?
We plan around your operations. For occupied buildings we stage the work, cut doors over in sequence, and carry out disruptive tasks after hours or on weekends where needed, so your site stays secure and functional throughout.
Can you install access control during a new build or fit-out?
Yes, and it’s the ideal time. We coordinate with your builder and electrical contractor to run cabling and mount hardware before walls and ceilings are closed, which keeps costs down and the finish clean. Involve us early for the best result.
How long does a Gallagher installation take?
It depends on the number of doors, the cabling required and any integrations. A small office might be a few days; a large multi-door or multi-site project is scheduled in stages. We give you a clear timeline as part of your quote.
Do you install readers for mobile phone and card access?
Yes. We install Gallagher readers that support cards, fobs, PINs, biometrics and mobile credentials via Gallagher Mobile Connect, including tap-to-enter passes in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. We’ll recommend the right credential mix for your security level and user experience.
Can you integrate the new system with our alarms and cameras?
Yes. We integrate Gallagher with existing intruder alarms, CCTV, intercom, lifts and building management systems so they operate as one coordinated platform. We assess your current equipment and design the integration around it.
What do we get at handover?
A fully tested, commissioned system, staff training, and complete as-built documentation – door schedules, cabling records and system configuration – so your team and any future technician know exactly how the system is built.
