Access Control done properly

Many businesses simply require a standalone Door Entry system to use at their main entrance or in their reception area, so if you only have one door to manage, this offers you security confidence at a low cost. We can also install a simple Intercom access control system for easy access management.

If you have several doors externally and/or within your premises, or operate in a higher risk industry or location, you may want an integrated, networked system that combines several Door Entry and security solutions into one easy-to-manage system.

Make sure every person entering your building can be identified, allowing you to issue access permission facilities to contractors and other guests as needed – all time-controlled for working hours or contract periods.

Manage visitors without the need for a physical security guard or reception staff, saving money on staffing costs.

Enhance your Paxton access control system with ANPR to allow smooth access flow through your Automatic Gates.

From a fingerprint scanner to facial recognition – these Paxton solutions can also be used as a dual-permission entry solution alongside a code or proximity reader.

Many customers choose key fob readers because they’re more hygienic, they remove the risk of losing expensive keys as they can’t be duplicated like a key can, they can be disabled if required and also mean that nobody has to remember a code to gain entry.

With a Networked Access Control, we can give you the facility to record every entry, with a report log itemising who used what doors and when.

Whether your doors are made from aluminium, timber, steel, or glass, we can install a range of locking systems at varying strengths to prevent unauthorised access and ensure the door is always locked when closed. We can also install electronic door openers (especially useful for disabled access) and closers, for ease of movement and to ensure the door closes and locks after every entry/exit.

In case of an emergency and the requirement to exit the building swiftly, we fit ‘break glass points’ internally override the access control system from the inside.

For general exit requirements, we can provide various options to exit from the ‘safe side’ e.g. push-to-exit wall-mounted buttons, movement detectors and long-range proximity readers (which can also work for entry) which reads the fob or lanyard from a distance to allow easy access/exit when personnel’s hands are full!

Use your software to set specific time profiles e.g. set to lock during working hours, with auto-unlock kicking in for lunchtimes or home times. This can also be set up for your Automatic Gates, Barriers and even Turnstiles.

Every auto-feature and Door Entry Access Control can be managed on an individual basis, so you can assign specific authority levels depending on personnel and departments e.g. manage access permissions for contractors and temporary staff, prevent office staff entering warehouses, or limit server room access to key IT staff.

Paxton Access Control and Door Entry systems can act as an important tool for monitoring staff and contractor movements. By providing a date/time log of attendance and entry and exit flow, you have evidence for payroll and attendance queries and proof should this information be required in claims for issues such as unfair dismissals, thus reducing potential legal costs. Additionally, Access Control systems mitigate the risk of unauthorised people gaining entry to specific areas of your building or site.

A well-designed Access Control system will cover all entry/exit points, vulnerable zones, and any internal areas where you need to control pedestrian flow – letting the right people into designated areas, while simultaneously preventing entry for anyone without approval – without the need for manually checking every movement.

Staff movements can be monitored from external and perimeter access points such as Gates and Barriers, and all internal doors too, so you have an auditable log of staff access to help with payroll management etc.

If you have had any issues with theft in locker rooms, or unauthorised access attempts in sensitive business areas, Paxton Net2 Access Control systems that log individuals’ movements will prevent these actions from taking place.

If you use or store hazardous materials or dangerous equipment and machinery, our high-quality commercial Access Control systems can prevent unqualified personnel from gaining entry to these areas or operating machinery – preventing accidents and the subsequent claims that could be made for workplace injuries.

Manually staffing and checking every access point and individuals’ movements take considerable time: a business Door Entry system allows you to cut down on staff, while also reducing the workload for HR and accounting staff – saving time and money.

Access Control system installations allow you to physically demonstrate that each area of your business is protected and monitored for personnel movement, ensuring product, stock and machinery cannot be interfered with and helping you to comply with British Retail Consortium (BRC) standards, GDPR and Quality Assurance with intuitive audit trails.
