Archer Security in short
Archer Security is a Telford security installer based at Halesfield, fitting access control locks, electric gates and door entry systems alongside burglar alarms and CCTV for homes and business premises. What sets Archer Security apart in our review is the combination of SSAIB certification stated on its site with insurance stated too, plus free no-obligation quotes and a round-the-clock contact line behind stated weekday hours. A live limited company sits behind the name.
Customer reviews are strong, with a headline Google rating of 4.9 stars drawn from more than fifty reviews. What counts against Archer Security for this ranking is paperwork rather than workmanship: the site publishes no prices and no insurance amounts, only the free-quote offer. Our verdict is that it suits Telford homes and firms wanting alarms, CCTV and door entry from one certificated installer.
The record behind the summary shows a Halesfield firm working across Telford, Shrewsbury and the wider county, with fire alarms and security systems sitting beside access control, CCTV and gates. Contact runs through a weekday phone line with round-the-clock cover stated for urgent calls, and the limited company behind the name has traded since 2018. Our reading is that the spread suits buyers who want several systems from one accountable installer.
The customer evidence we hold comes from Google alone, and it reads strongly: the headline rating sits near the top of the scale across a bank of more than fifty reviews. No second platform sits in the file, so the picture is broad but single-sourced. Our take is that the volume impresses while the single source keeps the verdict to what the file actually shows.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Archer suits Telford homes and firms that want alarms, CCTV and door entry from an SSAIB-certificated installer, with contact by phone, email or form [1] [2]. The Google record stands at 4.9 from 52 reviews [3]. What counts against it is the absence of published prices and insurance amounts [1].

Questions about Archer Security
Is Archer Security any good?
On the evidence, yes for combined alarms, CCTV and door entry: it tops our Telford access control table, holds 4.9 stars on Google from more than fifty reviews, and states SSAIB certification with insurance. No prices are published, so read the full review and its sources. Ask for an itemised quote before you agree anything.
Is Archer Security SSAIB registered?
SSAIB certification is stated on the firm's own website, which also says the business is insured. No certificate number is printed on the site, so ask for the certification detail and the insurance papers together. Confirm both appear on the register and in writing before work starts. The full position, with what each badge covers, sits in the qualifications section of the review.
How much does Archer Security charge?
It publishes no prices, rates or insurance amounts, though the site offers free no-obligation quotes. That means your quote does the talking: send the door list and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Only a written quote on your door list settles the figure.
Where does Archer Security work?
The installer works from Halesfield in Telford across Telford, Shrewsbury and Shropshire, covering homes and business premises. Send your postcode with the job list to confirm you are covered. Expect contact by phone, email or form, with a round-the-clock line for urgent jobs. Coverage shifts with workload, so confirmation in the reply matters more than any map.
How is Archer Security ranked?
It ranks first of the ten access control installers in our September round, chosen as the best overall pick for certificated alarms, CCTV and door entry in one place. Read the full review alongside the company record. Then ask for the itemised quote. Positions move when new evidence lands, so read the round date beside the table.
How do I get a quote from Archer Security?
Ask through the website contact form, by email or on the landline, and expect a free no-obligation quote after you describe the doors and users. A serious reply names the kit, the fitting dates and the aftercare rather than a single round figure. Send photos of the doors and the existing locks with the first message so the survey starts before anyone travels.
What do customers say about Archer Security?
Google shows the headline rating near the top of the scale across more than fifty reviews, which is a broad bank for this table. No other platform rating sits in the file, so the evidence is wide but single-sourced. Read a spread of recent comments rather than the average alone, and let the quote fill the gaps the file leaves.
How does Archer Security compare with the others?
It sits first of the ten, a fraction ahead of SSAFE, as the certificated whole-package pick. SSAFE answers with gates and automation depth, Phoenix with Newport coverage, and LockFit with locksmith speed. The honest gap is paperwork: no published prices or insurance amounts, where Business Watch even prints some figures.
