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.
New Paxton system, expansion, maintenance or takeover.
Start with the doors and access rules you need, then build the system around them.
Paxton access control installation
Survey, system design, door hardware specification, installation, software setup, commissioning and handover.
Add doors to an existing Net2 system
Extend an existing networked Paxton installation when the building or access requirements change.
Paxton maintenance and faults
Review supported controllers, readers, credentials, door hardware and system faults before recommending the next step.
Already have Paxton installed?
We can assess the existing system before recommending maintenance, reconfiguration, expansion or replacement.
Manage access without changing keys
Set permissions by user or group and remove access when credentials are lost, staff leave or roles change.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
