Access Control Westminster

Paxton Net2 — The Dominant Central Westminster Office System

At Westminster City Locks, we know that Paxton Net2 is the go-to access control system for offices in central Westminster. It's no surprise, given its robust architecture: a controller per door or group of doors, wired to a network switch, with fob/card readers on each door.

The central Net2 software, running on a building's server or in the cloud, offers seamless management.

For Victoria Street's multi-tenant offices, with staff ranging from 30 to 200 across multiple floors, Paxton Net2 provides individualized fob access and an audit log for FCA compliance. Instant deactivation guarantees security when staff leave or contractors finish.

In Waterloo SE1's cultural-quarter offices, time-restricted access is ideal for contractors.

Installation takes 2-5 days for a 20-door building, covering controller mounting, reader fitting, and fob enrollment.

We recommend a maintenance contract, especially for FCA-regulated tenants, guaranteeing reliable operation and updates.

Salto SVN — When Wiring Isn't an Option

When wiring isn't feasible, Salto SVN steps in as the perfect solution. This system shines in settings where traditional cabling isn't an option. Its battery-powered handles communicate using a virtual network, enabling each staff fob to act as a data carrier. This means updates propagate seamlessly as staff interact with the system.

In central Westminster, Salto SVN is invaluable. Hotels and serviced apartments in Victoria and The Mall benefit from these handles, as post-build wiring isn't possible. Similarly, St James's gentlemen's clubs preserve their heritage doors without modification.

Belgravia's embassy-adjacent offices and Chelsea's boutiques also take advantage of Salto's retrofit capabilities, fitting directly onto existing euro cylinder doors in just 30-45 minutes.

With a battery life of 2-3 years and support for card, fob, and mobile-key credentials, this system offers flexibility and ease. Plus, Salto Pro software guarantees building managers can efficiently oversee access.

Restricted-Key Cylinders Alongside Electronic Access

While electronic access control systems like Paxton and Salto offer robust perimeter security, they're often complemented by restricted-key cylinders to guarantee extensive protection.

In central Westminster offices, electronic access isn't the whole answer. We find that restricted-key cylinders are essential for specific door types, such as data rooms for Victoria Street's FCA-regulated tenants and confidential records storage in government-adjacent professional firms on Marsham Street.

For sensitive areas, Mul-T-Lock Junior provides a mid-tier solution, with keys managed by a registered card and deactivation options, making certain that security remains intact when staff changes occur.

For even higher security demands, like St James's clubs or Belgravia embassy-adjacent documents, the ASSA Twin Combi is ideal.

This combination of electronic access on perimeter doors and restricted-key solutions on sensitive interior doors guarantees both audit-log compliance and resistance to physical attacks.

Neither system alone adequately covers all security needs, but together, they provide extensive protection.
