Door Entry Direct
Your residents deserve to
feel safe coming home.
If you're looking for the best social housing door entry products available in the UK right now, GDX Next by Comelit-PAC is the answer. Brand new to market, it's a ground-up redesign built specifically for residential blocks - tackling the security, installation and management challenges that have frustrated the sector for years.
Managing a residential block is hard enough without your door entry system letting you down. Fobs that don't work, panels that fail, credentials that take days to update - every small failure chips away at resident trust and piles pressure onto your team. The technology that should be protecting your buildings has become one more thing to worry about.
You need a system that works reliably, installs without drama and doesn't demand a site visit every time something changes. That's exactly what GDX Next was built for.

Lost to call-outs, remediation and reactive fixes
We've worked with installers across the UK long enough to know the frustration. You're not looking for the most complicated system on the market. You're looking for one that works - one your team can manage without specialist support, one that installers can get in and out quickly, and one that your residents can actually use.
That's why we back GDX Next by Comelit-PAC. It brings together Comelit's door entry expertise and PAC access control into a single, unified platform built from the ground up for social housing. We've seen what it does on site - and it delivers.
Why it's recommended
We've supplied door entry systems across hundreds of UK residential developments. The problems we see most often aren't about the technology - they're about systems that are too complex to manage, use incompatible credentials, or require a site visit every time something needs updating.
GDX Next was designed to fix all three. One infrastructure, one reader for any credential, and full remote management through Housing Central. It's the system we'd spec for our own buildings.

The best door entry system isn't the one with the most features. It's the one your team can actually manage.
Door Entry Direct - Technical TeamHere's how GDX Next solves it.
The Problem
Breaches at the front door
GDX Next integrates door entry and access control in one system - with door contact, tamper and forced-door alerts - so you know the moment something isn't right.
The Problem
Installations that run over time and budget
A common hardware and cabling infrastructure across all handset types means no separate wiring runs. Preconfigured panels and NFC handsets cut setup time from day one.
The Problem
Credential chaos across a mixed estate
One multi-tech reader handles PAC OPS, legacy 125 kHz and selected third-party credentials as standard. Migrate at your own pace - no hardware swap needed.
The Problem
Too many site visits, not enough oversight
Housing Central lets you manage credentials, monitor events and administer multiple sites remotely via Ethernet or 4G. Fewer call-outs, more control.
The Problem
Accessibility as an afterthought
A T-Coil compatible hearing loop is included as standard - not an optional extra. Raised key symbols, LED indication and Crystal Clear video come built in across the range.
The Problem
Systems that can't grow with the development
Start with 8 handset connections and expand to hundreds of doors and flats using additional control units - no rip and replace, no wholesale investment.

Common questions.
Does GDX Next work with our existing fobs and cards?
Most likely, yes. The multi-tech readers support PAC OPS 13.56 MHz, legacy 125 kHz credentials including GDX Indigo, and selected third-party credentials - so you can migrate at your own pace without replacing everything at once.
Can it be managed without someone visiting site?
Yes. Housing Central connects via Ethernet or 4G and lets you update credentials, review events and manage multiple sites remotely. Standalone operation is also available for sites that don't need cloud management.
How large can a GDX Next system get?
The system scales from 8 handset connections up to hundreds of doors and flats. Credential capacity goes from 2,000 standalone to 20,000 on Housing Central.
Is it compliant with the Equality Act?
Yes. A T-Coil compatible hearing loop is included as standard. Readers have a raised key symbol and LED indication, and Crystal Clear video lets residents clearly see who's at the door before granting access.
