Lincoln House Net2 Access Control Project

Mere UK Ltd was contracted to design and implement a secure, scalable solution to control access and integrate with existing fire safety protocols.

Lincoln House provides a safe, structured environment with access to counselling, group therapy, detox referrals, and medical care from on-site doctors, nurses, and key workers. The sensitive nature of these services requires a high level of access control and emergency preparedness.
