Quick answer

What is Paxton access control?

Paxton access control replaces or supplements traditional keys with electronic readers, credentials, controllers and management software. A networked Paxton Net2 system lets authorised administrators manage who can use selected doors, when they can enter and what access events have taken place from a central system.

Choose the right route

New Paxton system, expansion, maintenance or takeover.

Start with the doors and access rules you need, then build the system around them.

NEW SYSTEM

Paxton access control installation

Survey, system design, door hardware specification, installation, software setup, commissioning and handover.

EXPANSION

Add doors to an existing Net2 system

Extend an existing networked Paxton installation when the building or access requirements change.

MAINTENANCE

Paxton maintenance and faults

Review supported controllers, readers, credentials, door hardware and system faults before recommending the next step.

TAKEOVER

Already have Paxton installed?

We can assess the existing system before recommending maintenance, reconfiguration, expansion or replacement.

USERS & PERMISSIONS

Manage access without changing keys

Set permissions by user or group and remove access when credentials are lost, staff leave or roles change.

DOOR ENTRY

Paxton Entry and controlled reception

Where suitable, door entry can be combined with Paxton access control so visitors can be identified and admitted through controlled entrances.

Central access management

Manage doors, users and access events from one Paxton Net2 system.

Paxton describes Net2 as a PC based networked access control solution. The software is designed for centralised administration and can support sites with up to 1,000 doors and 50,000 users. The practical specification should still be based on the real building and access requirements.

PermissionsAssign access rights to individuals or groups and change them without rekeying the building.
EventsReview live or historical access events and generate reports for authorised users.
TimezonesSet doors or user access around operating times, shifts, opening hours or controlled periods.
ExpansionThe single door architecture allows new doors to be introduced as requirements change.
Advanced featuresDepending on Net2 software and configuration, features can include lockdown, roll call, triggers and actions, integrations and remote management tools.
What we handle

Access control is more than the reader on the wall.

The system needs the correct controllers, readers, locks, door furniture, power, software, permissions and emergency behaviour.

Real Paxton project

Two additional doors added to an existing Net2 system.

An existing office customer already had Paxton Net2 software and a Paxton desktop reader. After a site survey, the system was expanded with two additional controlled doors, then commissioned and demonstrated to the client.

Already have Paxton?

You may be able to extend the system you already have.

If Paxton access control is already installed, we can review the existing controllers, readers, doors, software and access requirements before recommending the next step. Where the system remains suitable, expansion, maintenance or reconfiguration may make more sense than replacement.

How it works

A clear route from access requirements to working doors.

Survey

We review the doors, users, current equipment and areas that need controlled access.

Specify

We define the controllers, readers, locks, credentials and system configuration required.

Install

Our engineers install, configure and commission the agreed Paxton access control system.

Support

We provide a system demonstration and discuss maintenance, faults or future expansion.

Frequently asked questions

Paxton access control installer questions.

Yes. We install, extend and support Paxton access control systems, including networked Net2 installations and suitable existing system expansions.

Yes. Where the existing system is suitable and supported, additional controlled doors can be added and configured within the existing Net2 setup after a site and system review.

Paxton states that Net2 software can centrally administer sites with up to 1,000 doors and 50,000 users. The practical design for an individual site should still be based on its real requirements.

Yes. In a suitable electronic access control system, authorised administrators can add, remove or change user permissions without relying on physical key replacement for every access change.

Paxton lists lockdown, roll call and muster reporting among Net2 Pro features. Availability depends on the software version, system design and configuration, so these functions should be specified and tested for the intended site.

Where the fire strategy requires controlled escape doors to release, suitable interfaces can be designed and tested so the final door response works as intended. The fire alarm and access control requirements should be reviewed together.

Yes. We can assess an existing Paxton installation and advise on supported equipment, door hardware, faults, permissions, maintenance and future expansion.
