Newcastle Locksmiths & Security: Certified Gallagher Channel Partner Delivering Smarter, Safer Security Solutions

Protecting people, property, and assets requires accuracy. Newcastle Locksmiths & Security is a certified Channel Partner of Gallagher Security, a global leader in access control, perimeter protection, and integrated security management.

This partnership combines Gallagher’s globally recognised technology with Newcastle Locksmiths & Security’s local expertise and support. For businesses, institutions, and critical infrastructure clients across the Hunter and regional NSW, it means world-class security technology, delivered by a team that understands your site, your operations, and your people.

To better understand this partnership, let’s look more closely at Gallagher Security.

Founded in New Zealand over 85 years ago, Gallagher began as a pioneering agricultural company. It has grown into a global force in security technology. Today, Gallagher Security designs and manufactures enterprise-level integrated systems in more than 130 countries. Their technology protects government buildings, defence sites, airports, universities, and healthcare facilities.

Gallagher is a trusted brand in high-security environments, certified by some of the most rigorous international standards, including:

  • FIPS 201, the US Federal Information Processing Standard
  • CAPSS (UK Government approval for cybersecurity assurance)
  • EN50131, NIST, and ISO 27001

Their reputation is built on a key idea: security should be intelligent, adaptable, and seamlessly integrated.

Gallagher’s Core Security Solutions

Gallagher’s platform does more than control access. It connects every part of your security environment into one cohesive, responsive system.

1. Access Control

Gallagher’s access control technology allows organisations to manage who enters their sites, when, and where.
Their Command Centre software provides security teams with complete oversight, enabling them to manage credentials, schedules, and events in real time.

Features include:

  • Cardholder and mobile credential management
  • Area zoning and time-based access
  • Visitor management integration
  • Dual authentication for restricted areas
  • Full audit trails and reporting

Gallagher is also a leader in mobile credential technology, allowing users to securely open doors with their smartphones using Bluetooth or NFC. For modern facilities, this is a convenient and contactless way to manage entry without physical cards.

2. Intruder Alarm Systems

Gallagher’s Intruder Alarms combine intelligent detection devices with seamless integration into the Command Centre.
Instead of managing several separate systems, alarms and access control work together. This reduces false alarms and makes response protocols simpler.

Advanced features include:

* Partitioned alarm areas
* Automatic arming/disarming linked to access events
* Alarm verification through CCTV integration
* Real-time event alerts

Every alert is actionable and traceable, improving safety and efficiency.

3. Perimeter Security

Gallagher’s electric fencing and perimeter monitoring systems secure high-risk sites worldwide. These include correctional facilities, utilities, and logistics hubs.
Their Monitored Pulse Fence technology detects tampering or climbing attempts while delivering a safe, non-lethal deterrent.

With voltage monitoring, zoning, and event logging, perimeter security integrates with Command Centre. This setup provides instant alerts and control from one interface.

4. Security Management Platform (Command Centre)

The Gallagher Command Centre is the brain of the entire system. It is a single, unified platform that connects access control, alarms, video surveillance, and building automation.
It provides operators with complete situational awareness and control. This works whether they manage a single site or a multi-campus operation.

Capabilities include:

  • Event monitoring and live dashboards
  • Cardholder tracking and photo ID integration
  • Automated responses to security breaches
  • System health monitoring
  • Cloud-based data management and backup

It is scalable and modular, making it suitable for small businesses as well as complex enterprise networks.

5. Cybersecurity and Compliance

Gallagher’s systems have cybersecurity at their core. With end-to-end encryption, secure controllers, and ongoing firmware updates, their products meet top data protection standards.
Clients stay compliant with Australian Government and international cybersecurity regulations.
