Can you add doors to a system that is already installed?

Usually yes. If it is Paxton we can almost always extend it. If it is another manufacturer we will look at it first and tell you honestly whether extending or replacing is the better spend.

What happens if the power goes off?

It depends how the door is specified. Fail-safe locks release on power loss so people can get out; fail-secure locks stay locked. Fire escape routes have to be able to open, and we will design the doors around that.

Can you cancel a lost fob?

Yes, straight away, and it takes seconds. That is the main practical reason businesses move from keys to fobs.

Homes and businesses

Domestic

For your home

On a house or a private block, access control usually means gates, a garage or a communal front door — something the household can open without carrying another key, and that a visitor cannot prop open.

Commercial

For your business

This is where most access control work sits. Offices, trade counters, studios, warehouses and managed buildings. The value is not the lock, it is that a leaver’s fob dies at 5pm on their last day without changing a single barrel, and that you can answer the question of who was in the building.

Working with Paxton

We are Paxton registered, which matters mainly because it means we are working inside a system we know rather than guessing at somebody else’s wiring.

We survey before we quote. That means looking at the property rather than pricing a system down the phone — the answer changes with the layout, the cabling and how you actually use the building.

Access Control in your area

Not sure what you need?We will look at the property and tell you honestly what is worth doing — including when the answer is less than you asked for.
