Calder Security was founded in 1976 as a lock and safe business, serving the domestic market. It grew reasonably steadily over the years but remained a small business, continuing to focus on the home market. Meanwhile Simon Cook was embarking on his career as an electrical engineer. Having seen his father build and run a successful business, Simon always had ambitions to own a business himself at some point, leaving school at 16 and starting an apprenticeship. On qualifying as an electrical engineer three years later, Simon applied for a position at Calder Security but was actually turned down.

Nobody wants to wait for days for keys to be sent away to cut and likewise you need a high degree of accuracy so that your new keys work first time. Knowing somewhere you can take your keys (or security card or code) for cutting is extremely useful for anyone.

Warehouses are used by all kinds of businesses from retail, manufacturing, import and export, to transport and customs, etc.

Domestic properties can benefit from a keyless door entry system just as a commercial property can. It offers you control about who enters your home without having to physically open the door or even go to to it which gives you added security and is accessible for those with limited mobility. Like any technology, access control systems require periodic maintenance in order to continue working as they should. We can conduct annual servicing to keep your system working well plus we can add or delete fobs and cards whenever required.

Your locks are your first line of defence against an intruder and therefore should be your priority in terms of your physical security. We offer a full range of locksmith services including installing and repairing locks, gaining access when locked out and key cutting. Your locks are your home's first line of defence - this is the most basic form of home security so get this right first before considering alarms and CCTV. Lock snapping is a very common method used to break into your home so anti-snap locks should be fitted as standard by a skilled locksmith.

A robust burglar alarm system offers peace of mind that an intruder would not be able to access your property undetected. It also serves as a very effective deterrent against trying to break in at all. I discovered Calder Security on an internet search and chose them because of the price quoted and the service offered. I found them to be excellent value, very professional and did a first class job on installation. I would definitely recommend them to others.

While a CCTV system for a business is an effective deterrent to intruders, it can serve other valuable purposes such as protection for lone and vulnerable workers, monitoring for health & safety issues, detection of anti-social behaviour and a way of keeping track of visitors and customers. We design every commercial CCTV system bespoke to each business, conducting every aspect from surveys, design and specification to installation ourselves. We only ever use quality equipment from manufacturers such as Hik Vision and every installation is designed to work seamlessly with all other security measures to create a comprehensive solution.

Not only is CCTV a method of capturing evidence of a crime but it's a very effective deterrent. The cost of a home CCTV system has become much more affordable in recent years and that's why its popularity is growing with homeowners. We can design, supply and install a range of domestic CCTV systems. We offer both analogue HD and IP camera systems and can advise on the best solution for your home. As with any electronic system, optimum performance depends on good maintenance of the system. We recommend servicing your CCTV system annually to check all equipment and cables, clean lenses, cameras and housing and test the system.

Home safes can protect your valuables, cash and documents from theft, flood and fire and form an essential part of any home security plan. We are qualified and experienced safe engineers, able to install, repair, relocate and remove a range of home safes. Any safe or strong box that can be physically moved is vulnerable to theft. For additional security, safes should be installed by a professional safe engineer. This can include fixing them to the floor, under the floor, to a wall or inside a cupboard or wardrobe.

High security locks are an essential element of any business's security system, providing a robust line of defence against an intruder. A good locksmith can work on just about any locking system from installation of appropriate locks to the ability to repair them, access them in the event of lost keys and key locks alike. Good quality locks go hand in hand with a business's security system. Being a full service security company, we ensure that all elements are working together to create maximum security for your business.

Commercial premises are required by law to conduct fire risk assessments and have a fit for purpose fire alarm system in place. The nature of this system will be determined by a number of factors such as the size of your premises, number of staff, type of business etc. Your system must comply with British Standards, HSE regulations, Building Regulations and Fire Officer Guidelines. It must also meet the requirements of your business insurance. Due to the essential nature of a fire alarm system, you need to know that if it does become faulty you can get it repaired quickly and professionally.

Feeling secure in your own home is of paramount importance to everyone. There are a number of security measures you can take to maximise your home's protection and we can help you with everything from installing high security locks to implementing a multi-layered security system. A robust burglar alarm system offers peace of mind that an intruder would not be able to access your property undetected. It also serves as a very effective deterrent against trying to break in at all. An access control system, also known as a door entry system, enables you to control access to your property without the use of keys - usually with a fob, card or keypad.

CCTV is an excellent complement to a burglar alarm system for securing your property. As technology develops the quality of the footage increases and the cost of the latest IP CCTV systems becomes ever more affordable.

A burglar alarm security system offers your home or business the best protection possible (along with good quality locks) against intruders. They not only alert people to break-ins as they happen, they act as a major deterrent with most burglars choosing to target properties with no alarm system over those that do have one. All our alarm systems are SSAIB approved. Running a business has enough challenges without the disruption and cost of a break in. We can design burglar alarm systems to meet the specific needs of your business, whether a retail unit, office building or multi-sited business.

Many commercial properties or buildings of multiple occupancy can benefit from some kind of keyless door entry system. It will allow you to control who enters your building, and which areas of it. It can eradicate the need for keys which can be lost, stolen or broken and it allows you to give or withdraw access instantly. An access control represents a secure way to give staff, customers and visitors access to your building. Where keys can be lost or stolen, an access control system operated via intercom, proximity fob or card, keypad or even a biometric system offers a very flexible security system that allows you to set access permissions for individuals and track movements in and out of your premises.

All commercial buildings need keys of some kind, even those with access control systems. Office buildings with multiple doors, buildings of multiple occupancy and retail units with storage areas, to name just some, all have requirements for keys whether they be for doors, safes, filing cabinets etc. We offer an accurate, secure, responsive key cutting service for all types of business. CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) cameras are a powerful tool that has widely been used for security and protection purposes.
