Paxton Net2 specialists
We’re a Paxton Silver Partner with more than 15 years’ experience installing and integrating Paxton, from single doors to school sites with more than 100 doors on one Net2 system, and remote sites linked over secure VPNs. Paxton Net2 access control.
Linked to your fire alarm
Access-controlled doors on escape routes normally need to release when the fire alarm operates. The compliant way is in hardware: the fire alarm interface cuts the power to fail-safe locks directly, rather than relying on the access control software. We design that interface to BS 7273-4, and because we install fire alarms too, one company is responsible for both sides of it.
How it works
We survey your site, design the system around how your building is used, and send you a proposal and specification. Once it’s installed, you get handover documents, a full demonstration and training. Every installation comes with a one-year equipment and labour warranty.

Questions
Can doors unlock automatically when the fire alarm goes off?
Yes. The fire alarm interface cuts the power to fail-safe locks on escape routes, so the doors release even if the access control system has failed. We design it to BS 7273-4.
Can I manage access from my phone?
Yes. You can add and remove users, change access times and see who has come and gone from anywhere.
Can you add doors to our existing Paxton system?
Usually, yes. We’re a Paxton Silver Partner with more than 15 years’ experience, and we extend and maintain existing Paxton systems. See Paxton Net2.
