What is Access Control?
From door entry to site-wide video intercoms, access control lets you decide who can enter your building, when and where. Whether you’re managing staff, protecting school boundaries or tracking visitor access, we help you stay secure, compliant and in control.
- Internal and external door entry systems – audio/video access for schools, offices and apartment blocks, managed via fobs, cards or biometrics.
- Gate-mounted intercoms with video verification – restrict vehicle or visitor access to secure sites and playgrounds before they enter the boundary.
- ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) – CCTV cameras control automated gates and barriers by recognising authorised vehicle registrations.
- Fire-safe access configurations – systems designed to ensure doors release automatically in the event of a fire alarm activation.
- Keypads, proximity readers and smart credentials – manage different levels of access for staff, residents, visitors or contractors.
- Biometric and facial recognition – improve security in high-risk or high-traffic areas where fobs or cards aren’t suitable.
- Remote management and reporting tools – monitor who’s on-site, change permissions instantly and generate audit reports.
Whether you need to control one door or 100 gates across multiple sites, we install systems that scale with your site, sector and responsibilities.

As Paxton Gold Partners and experienced installers of Salto and other trusted manufacturers, we design systems to suit your site, sector and security risks. Every install is carried out by DBS-checked engineers and supported by a dedicated project manager from start to sign-off.
Safeguarding Support for Schools
We regularly work with schools and nurseries across Wales and the West to upgrade site access and strengthen safeguarding strategies ahead of inspections by Estyn or Ofsted.
From internal classroom doors to boundary gates and video intercoms, we help your team verify visitors before they reach the playground.
We also advise on visual verification processes, access policies and hardware that supports safer sign-in procedures and emergency response.
Prepared for Martyn’s Law
Martyn’s Law (officially known as the Protect Duty) will require many public-access venues to improve how they manage security threats, including terrorism. This applies to schools, venues, retail and community spaces across the UK.
We install access control systems that support your compliance: from verifying all entry points to providing auditable logs of who was on-site, and when.
As SSAIB Certificated security installers, we can advise on practical steps that improve both safety and accountability.
