Paxton Net2 – The Dominant North London Small-Office System

For access control in North London's small offices, Paxton Net2 is the clear leader. Its robust architecture features a controller per door or group of doors, wired to a network switch, with fob/card readers on each door. This system integrates smoothly with central Net2 software on the building's server or in the cloud, offering flexibility and reliability.

We've installed Paxton Net2 across various North London sites, including multi-tenant office buildings on Upper Street, around Highbury Corner, and Holloway Road. Each tenant benefits from time-restricted fob access, perfect for managing entry and exit efficiently.

In professional offices like the Business Design Centre, the audit trail feature guarantees security, while quick fob deactivation supports staff changes in retail-above-office settings.

Typically, setup takes 1-3 days for a 10-15-door office building. We recommend a maintenance contract for regular health checks and software updates to guarantee peak performance.

Battery-Powered Salto SVN Handles for Doors We Cannot Cable

Although wiring can be a challenge in certain spaces, Salto SVN offers a perfect solution for access control without the need for extensive cabling. These battery-powered handles use a virtual network where staff fobs act as data carriers, updating the system automatically as they're used.

In North London, Salto SVN shines in serviced and short-let apartments around Highbury and Canonbury, where wiring isn't feasible post-build. It's ideal for clinical-area doors in Islington and Highbury, where drilling is impractical.

In conservation areas like Canonbury Square, heritage doors remain unaltered, preserving their Grade II status.

Retailers on Upper Street and Stoke Newington Church Street benefit from audit-trail control on key doors without a full Paxton install. The system fits existing euro cylinder doors, usually in 30-45 minutes.

With a battery life of 2-3 years and options for card, fob, or mobile key, Salto SVN guarantees security and convenience.

Pairing Restricted-Key Cylinders With Electronic Doors for Sensitive Rooms

Balancing security needs in North London's small offices means combining electronic access with restricted-key cylinders. Electronic systems like Paxton and Salto manage perimeter and common doors, but for sensitive areas, restricted-key cylinders are indispensable.

Think of server rooms in professional offices on Upper Street or finance rooms at Highbury Corner – these demand the physical security that only restricted-key systems provide.

Using mid-tier restricted profiles, we guarantee that only authorized personnel can access critical spaces. Building managers hold registered cards, allowing key code deactivation when staff leave.

This dual system approach offers both audit-log compliance and robust protection against physical attacks.
