Access Control Systems — Paxton Net2 & Paxton10 Specialists
Prism specifies Paxton access control for all new installations — the UK's leading manufacturer, trusted to secure over 30,000 buildings every year. From a single door to a complex multi-site estate, we design, install and support the right system for your site.
Control Who Enters
Intelligent Access Control, Tailored to Your Site
Access control gives you the ability to manage, log and audit exactly who enters which part of your building — and when. Unlike a physical key, access credentials can be issued and revoked instantly.
For all new installations, Prism specifies Paxton Net2 or Paxton10 — the UK’s most widely installed access control platforms, backed by 40 years of British engineering.
Why businesses choose access control:
- Eliminate the risk of lost or copied keys
- Issue and revoke credentials instantly
- Set time-zone access per door and per user
- Generate full audit trails
- Integration with HR systems
- Remote management via web or mobile
- Integrate with CCTV for event-linked review
- Reduce insurance premiums with documented access logs

Credential Technologies
How People Gain Access
Key Fob & Card

Mobile Credentials
Open doors using a smartphone via Bluetooth or NFC. No fob to carry — ideal for companies already using mobile device management.
PIN Keypad
Individual or shared PIN codes for door control. Can be combined with fob credentials for two-factor access to high-security areas.
Biometric
Fingerprint or facial recognition for areas requiring the highest level of access security. No credential to carry or forget.
