Door Supervision
Discovery
A busy venue needs more than a presence on the door — it needs an SIA-licensed Door Supervisor who can check ID, manage capacity, de-escalate conflict, and make the right call when something goes wrong. Line Security provides trained, licensed door staff for pubs, bars, clubs, licensed premises and private events.
Every officer holds a valid SIA Door Supervisor licence, is briefed on your venue's specific licensing conditions, and is trained in conflict management as well as physical intervention when it's genuinely needed.
Door supervision is the licensed security role carried out at the entrance of pubs, bars, nightclubs, licensed venues and events. It covers age and ID verification, controlling who enters and how many people are on site at once, and identifying and managing problems before they escalate.
Anyone working as a door supervisor in the UK must hold a valid SIA Door Supervisor licence, which requires background vetting and dedicated training in conflict management, physical intervention and licensing law.
Line Security supplies fully licensed, vetted door supervisors who understand that a venue's door sets the tone for the whole night — visible, approachable, and ready to act the moment it's needed.
Licensed premises carry real legal obligations around capacity, age verification and public safety — and the door is where most of that responsibility sits. Getting it wrong risks a licensing breach, an incident inside the venue, or reputational damage that outlasts the night itself.
Our door supervisors are briefed on each venue's specific licensing conditions, house policies and known risk patterns before their first shift, so they're not just standing at the door — they're actively managing it.
Pubs, bars and nightclubs, restaurants and licensed dining venues, private members' clubs, corporate and private events with controlled entry, and hospitality venues that need a visible, professional presence at the door without the wrong tone for the room.
Whether it's a single door supervisor for a quiet midweek shift or a full team for a high-capacity weekend, cover is scaled to the venue and the night, not a fixed package.
The best door supervision is the incident that never happens. Our officers are trained to read a situation early, de-escalate verbally wherever possible, and only use physical intervention as a last resort and strictly within SIA guidelines.
Every shift is logged, and any incident is reported clearly and promptly — giving venue management a clear record for licensing reviews or insurance purposes.
SIA-licensed officers who understand capacity, age verification and your venue's specific conditions.
Trained to manage disputes calmly, keeping the door professional rather than confrontational.
The same briefed, vetted officers shift to shift, not a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces.
Clear logging of entry decisions and any incidents, for licensing and insurance purposes.
It's the mandatory UK licence for anyone working in a door supervision role at a licensed venue — covering entry control, ID checks and conflict management. It requires background vetting and dedicated training before it's issued.

Yes. Conflict management and de-escalation are core parts of SIA Door Supervisor training, and it's the approach we lead with — physical intervention is a last resort, not a first response.
