What Access Entry does
Access Entry Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian distributor and service provider of automatic door solutions, founded in 2001 and operating as the exclusive Australian sales partner for Gilgen Door Systems, a Swiss manufacturer. The company serves commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, transportation infrastructure, and government projects through three regional offices: a 1,200 sqm headquarters in Seaford, Victoria (24 employees), a regional office in Padstow, New South Wales, and a regional office in Loganholme, Queensland. Named customers include Avalon International Airport, GMHBA Geelong, Novotel Wollongong North Beach, and Harvest Bakehouse Runaway Bay.
The company's product portfolio is organised around three categories: automatic sliding door operators (the SZ200, SLA250, and SLX series including specialised SLX Telescopic, SLX Hermetic, SLX Breakout, and SLX Bi-folding variants, plus the SZ Powertrain retrofit solution and SZ Cavity Slider), automatic swing door operators (FD10 and FD20, with the FD20 rated for doors up to 250kg and wind resistance up to 80 km/h), and the Accessible Privacy Kit System for DDA-compliant access. Supporting components include safety and activation sensors (Eagle 5+, Fly, IXIO-DT1, IXIO-ST, 1SAFE, EYE-TECH, FLATSCAN SW) and switches (Mushroom Head Push Button, SK series, Magic Switch, Touchless Exit Switch, M3/M4 rotary mode switches). All underlying technology is sourced from Gilgen Door Systems; Access Entry adds local training (via the Gilgen Academy Australia, inaugurated 2021), installation, and after-sales service.
Access Entry's business model combines hardware sales, professional installation, and recurring managed services including 24/7 emergency breakdown, preventative maintenance plans, repairs, and safety audits. Pricing is quote-based, billed under multi-year contracts, reflecting project specification and complexity. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting architects, builders, and property developers, supported by direct phone (1300 GILGEN), regional office contacts, and a website providing technical drawings and brochures. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company is independently owned with no disclosed external investment.
