Access Control — Paxton, HID & Salto systems for offices, flats and commercial buildings
We design and install access control systems that let you control exactly who enters your building, which doors they can open, and when. From a single Paxton Net2 door on a small office to a 200-door Paxton10 system across multiple sites, we handle everything — survey, design, installation, credentials, and ongoing management.
Who is this for?
For building managers, landlords, business owners, and facilities teams who are tired of chasing lost keys, dealing with unauthorised access, and having no idea who's actually in the building.
- Offices, co-working spaces, and business parks
- Blocks of flats and apartment buildings
- Warehouses, distribution centres, and trade parks
- Schools, colleges, and nurseries
- Medical practices, dental surgeries, and care homes
- Retail stores and shopping centres
- Multi-tenant commercial buildings
- Construction site offices and compounds
Access control problems we solve regularly
- Lost keys causing expensive lock changes — and you still don't know who has copies floating around
- No audit trail — you can't prove who was in the building at a specific time for security or HR purposes
- Staff propping doors open because the current system is too slow or inconvenient
- Managing access for multiple tenants, contractors, cleaners, and shift workers is a constant headache
- Your existing system is outdated, the manufacturer no longer supports it, and replacement fobs cost a fortune
- You need to restrict certain areas — server rooms, stockrooms, medicine cabinets — but currently anyone can walk in
What's included in our access control installations
System Design & Door Schedule
We survey every access point, assess traffic flow, and produce a door schedule specifying reader type, lock type, and access levels for each door. No guesswork — every door is planned properly.
Door Controllers & Readers
Paxton Net2 or Paxton10 controllers paired with compact proximity readers, PIN keypads, or biometric fingerprint scanners. We also install HID iCLASS and Salto systems where specified.
Credentials — Fobs, Cards & Mobile
Paxton keyfobs, ISO proximity cards, or smartphone credentials via the Paxton Connect app. Easy to issue, easy to revoke. Lost a fob? We disable it in seconds — no lock changes needed.
Cloud or Server-Based Management
Paxton10 runs in the cloud — manage users, view live door status, and pull audit reports from any browser. Net2 uses a local server with optional remote access. Either way, you're in full control.
Electric Lock Hardware
Maglocks, electric strikes, shear locks, and automated door closers — all selected to meet fire safety requirements. We never fit a maglock on a fire escape without proper fail-safe release.
CCTV & Alarm Integration
We link access events to your CCTV so every door opening is recorded with video footage. Access control can also arm/disarm intruder alarms automatically based on the last person leaving.

Video Intercom Integration
Combine access control with Comelit or 2N video intercoms so visitors can call up and be granted entry remotely.
Biometric Readers
Fingerprint scanners for server rooms, pharmacies, and restricted zones where card-sharing is a risk. Paxton10 supports built-in biometric readers.
Gate & Barrier Automation
Automated gates, rising arm barriers, and bollards controlled via proximity fob, PIN, or ANPR number plate recognition.
Visitor Management
Tablet-based visitor sign-in with badge printing, host notification, and automatic access credential allocation for expected guests.
Time & Attendance Reporting
Use door swipe data to generate attendance reports, track working hours, and export to payroll systems.
Mobile & Bluetooth Credentials
Replace physical fobs with smartphone-based credentials using Paxton Smart Credentials or HID Mobile Access — staff unlock doors with their phone.

Key benefits
How it works
Consultation & Survey
We visit your site, walk every access point, discuss user groups and access levels, and understand your operational requirements. We'll ask the right questions so the system works for how your building actually operates.
System Design & Quote
We produce a door schedule, specify hardware, and provide a fixed-price quote. You'll see exactly what's going on each door — no vague line items.
Installation
Our engineers install controllers, readers, maglocks, and cabling with proper containment. We work around your business hours and keep disruption to a minimum.
Configuration & Credentials
We set up the software, create access levels, program time schedules, and issue credentials for all initial users. Integration with CCTV and alarms is configured and tested.
Training & Handover
Hands-on admin training so your team can add users, revoke fobs, pull reports, and manage the system day-to-day without needing to call us for every change.
