Based on what local customers need

These are the jobs local customers ask us about most — putting the right system in, and looking after the one already on the wall.

Installing access control in Northampton

We install access control across Northampton — warehousing off the M1, converted shoe-trade buildings, Victorian terraces. Each opening gets surveyed for the right reader, lock and controller, and escape routes always stay compliant.

Warehouse operators near the M1 want gatehouse, yard and dock doors on one system. Fobs, cards, keypads or mobile credentials all work; the platform is usually Paxton, and the audit trail shows who opened which door and when. We cover the whole area, Kingsthorpe and Abington through to Duston.

Access control servicing and system takeovers in Northampton

Door checks cover the electrical and the mechanical: readers, controllers, supplies, batteries, locks, exit buttons, emergency releases, closers. Software is the easy bit; doors fail at the hardware.

If nobody can administer the system any more, we can usually rescue it: identify the platform, regain admin control where possible, and put it on a maintenance footing.

  • Paxton and compatible takeovers
  • Battery and power-supply checks

What to budget for door control in Northampton

Around Northampton town centre, Brackmills Industrial Estate, Waterside Enterprise Zone we mostly fit proximity-fob and app-based systems with full audit trails for managers.
