Paxton is a UK access control manufacturer based in Brighton, best known for making “security made simple” systems that sit in the sweet spot between installer-friendly and properly scalable. They design and manufacture their own kit (controllers, readers, credentials, door entry, wireless door handles), and their systems are used to secure ~30,000 buildings each year across 60+ export countries.

The company’s roots go back to the mid-80s: Paxton Access Limited was incorporated on 22 January 1985, and the brand points to early products like the TOUCHLOCK keypad as part of the origin story that grew into today’s access-control portfolio.

Product-wise, Paxton is mainly known for:

Net2 – their networked access control system, centrally administered from one or more PCs and built to scale across multiple doors/sites.
Paxton10 – their more modern platform alongside Net2, positioned as a step up in capability (and where they’re pushing higher-security credential tech).
Plus simpler options like Standalone / Switch2 for smaller jobs where you want the door secured without turning the install into a networking saga.

Our range includes a comprehensive selection of Paxton access control solutions, designed to support everything from standalone single-door setups to fully integrated, multi-site networked systems.
