Access Control Cost Estimator
Price an access-control rollout door-by-door. Pick the number of doors, credential and lock type — and get a per-door and whole-building cost: controller, reader, lock, exit button, sensor, power backup, software and 18% GST. Indicative India 2026 ranges.
Your system
Proximity card or fob; easy to issue/revoke. Releases on power loss — use on escape/egress doors. Networked: a multi-door IP panel is shared across doors with central software. Per-door BOM = controller-share + reader + lock + exit button + sensor + power/backup + install. Indicative India 2026 — varies by brand, cabling run and integrator.

Where the per-door cost goes
One door, ex-GST: controller-share, reader, lock and the supporting hardware that makes an opening controllable and safe to exit.
Plan a safe, right-sized access system
DesignAI helps you split fail-safe vs fail-secure across egress and secured doors, pick credentials per zone, and sanity-check the budget before you call an integrator.
Assumptions & safety
- Per-door BOM = controller-share + reader + lock + exit button + sensor + power/backup + install; multiplied by doors, plus software/AMC. A ±25% range covers brand, cabling and integrator variance.
- Networked spreads a multi-door IP panel (4-door capacity) across doors; standalone gives each door its own controller. All prices ex-GST until you add the 18% GST toggle.
- Life safety: access-controlled doors on escape routes need free egress and automatic fire-alarm release (NBC). Use fail-safe (maglock) on egress doors and fail-secure (electric strike) only on secure non-egress doors (store, server room).
- India power-cut reality: include power supply + battery backup per door so doors behave predictably during outages.
- This is an indicative planning tool, not a quote — get a quote from a security integrator and a licensed electrician; isolate power before any wiring work.
