What We Install in Islington
We install Paxton access control (Net2, Paxton10) and Comelit door entry systems. Hardware includes proximity card readers, keypad readers, biometric fingerprint readers, maglocks, electric strikes, and video intercom handsets.
All maglock installations include a break-glass release or request-to-exit button for fire evacuation compliance. Maglocks are fail-safe: they release when power is lost, ensuring occupants can always exit the building safely.

Frequently Asked Questions - Access Control Maintenance Islington
What access control options are available in Islington?
We install Paxton and Comelit access control systems in Islington. Options include proximity fob and card readers, PIN keypads, biometric fingerprint readers, video intercom handsets, and smartphone-based access via the Paxton app. For residential blocks, Comelit video intercom allows residents to see and speak to visitors before releasing the door. For offices, Paxton Net2 provides networked control across multiple doors with time-based schedules and audit trails.
Can you integrate access control with CCTV in Islington?
Yes. We can configure the access control system to trigger CCTV recording when a door is accessed, or to display a camera view on a monitor when someone requests entry. This provides a visual record alongside the electronic audit trail. The integration works between Paxton access control and Uniview CCTV, both of which we install and maintain.
What happens if the access control system loses power in Islington?
All maglock installations include a backup battery that maintains the system for a defined period during power loss. Maglocks are fail-safe by design: they release when power is lost entirely, allowing occupants to exit safely for fire evacuation. Electric strikes can be configured as fail-safe or fail-secure depending on the application. Every installation includes a break-glass release on the inside of controlled doors.
How much does access control cost in Islington?
Access control pricing in Islington varies significantly by scope. A single standalone door with a keypad and maglock is considerably less expensive than a multi-door networked Paxton system with video intercom. We provide detailed quotes after a free site assessment, so you know exactly what the system will cost before committing.
Can I manage who has access to my Islington building remotely?
Yes. Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 both offer remote administration. You can add or revoke user credentials, set time-based access schedules (e.g., cleaners only between 6pm and 8pm), and review door activity logs from any web browser. Paxton10 also supports smartphone-based credentials, so users can tap their phone instead of carrying a fob.
