Start with the door and the workflow
A useful design begins with who uses each door, when access should be allowed, how visitors enter, what happens after hours and who manages users—not with a controller model.
- Front-of-house visitor entry
- Staff-only doors
- Rear and delivery entrances
- Internal secure areas

Access methods
Systems can use fobs, cards, keypads, mobile credentials or a combination. We plan lost-token handling, leavers, temporary access, audit requirements and administration before handover.
- Paxton access control
- Fob and card readers
- Keypad or dual-credential access
- Time zones and user groups

Door hardware and safety
Controllers, readers and software are only part of the job. The electric lock, door closer, frame, power, exit control and any required fire interface must work as one system.
