Access Control & Intercoms
Smart entry systems including key fobs, keypads, biometric readers and intercom integration for controlled and audited access to buildings, schools and gated entrances.
Professional access control for your building
Charged Services installs and supports Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 access control systems for offices, apartment buildings, schools and commercial premises. Our team of skilled engineers has extensive experience designing and installing systems that meet the highest standards of quality and security.
Paxton's access control technology enables occupants to manage building entry, visually identify and communicate with visitors before granting access, and control the system remotely when away from the premises. From a single door to a multi-site network with hundreds of entry points, we design every system around your specific requirements.
We install intercoms and access control right across Essex — see our managing agents and HMOs page, and our access control service areas in Essex. For UniFi Access and gate intercoms, see UniFi Access and UniFi intercoms.

Seamless integration with your infrastructure
With a strong background in IT networking, Charged Services excels at integrating access control systems with your existing network infrastructure. Our engineers are proficient in network architecture, routing and security, ensuring a seamless and secure connection between your access control platform and the rest of your systems.
This is particularly valuable for larger deployments where door controllers, CCTV cameras and intercom systems all need to communicate across the same network. We design robust, scalable solutions that work reliably from day one and grow with your requirements. Door entry for houses, gates and flats is also gathered on our door entry pages, including flats and blocks.

Access control for every entry point
We regularly integrate Paxton access control with automated gates, barriers, pedestrian entrances and internal doors. This means vehicle and pedestrian access can be managed from a single system, with centralised control, time-based scheduling and full audit logging of every entry and exit.
We also link access control to automatic pedestrian doors, with fob, keypad and intercom entry, night locking and fire alarm release. See automatic doors with access control.
For schools, we deploy networked door controllers across multiple entry points with virtual servers to remove single points of failure — giving the school complete control to add and disable passes for staff, students and visitors immediately.
