Complete Access Control Solutions
Security & Electrical Group Ltd provides expert access control Kent services alongside full coverage across England for commercial properties. We design, install and maintain advanced access control systems for businesses, landlords and property managers. As authorised Paxton installers and a certified Avigilon partner, we work across three platforms: Paxton Net2 for server-based single-site control, Paxton10 for cloud-connected multi-site management, and Avigilon Alta for fully cloud-native access control with mobile credentials as standard. From a single controlled door to multi-site deployments with hundreds of access points, we recommend the platform that matches your building's specific security requirements rather than pushing one brand.
Our systems cover the full range of credential types: proximity cards, key fobs, PIN keypads, biometric fingerprint readers, video intercoms, and smartphone-based mobile credentials via the Paxton Key app or the Avigilon Alta app. Every installation is configured with time-based access scheduling, detailed event logging, visitor management, and the audit trail capability that commercial and regulated environments demand.
Whether you need a new installation, planned maintenance for an existing system, or a repair to get a faulty system back online, our certified engineers deliver a complete service from initial survey through to ongoing support.

Three Platforms, One Installer
Paxton Net2, Paxton10 and Avigilon Alta each suit a different way of working. We install and support all three, and help you choose the right fit for your site.
Which platform is right for you?
Choose Net2 when you have one building, prefer buying hardware outright with no monthly fees, and your admin sits happily on your own network. It remains the best-value option for most single-site commercial properties.
Choose Paxton10 when you run a multi-building estate on Paxton hardware and want access and CCTV on one timeline, managed in the cloud on a per-door subscription.
Choose Avigilon Alta when you want a serverless, cloud-first system with phones as the primary credential, instant remote administration across any number of sites, and the option to bring video onto the same platform. Our free site survey covers all three honestly, including total cost over five years.
How It Works
A straightforward three-step process from initial enquiry to completed installation.
Free Site Survey
We visit your premises, assess your security requirements, and design a system to match, providing a detailed, no-obligation quotation with transparent pricing.
Install & Commission
Our certified engineers install all hardware, run cabling, configure software, and commission every access point with minimal disruption to your operations.
Training & Handover
Full system handover with user training, documentation, and access to our planned maintenance packages for ongoing reliability.
Mobile Credentials on Every Platform
Replace cards and fobs with smartphones and smartwatches. Paxton Key works with both Net2 and Paxton10 systems, and Avigilon Alta includes mobile credentials as standard through the Alta app.
Access Control Services Across England
Our certified engineers provide full access control Kent coverage and nationwide installation, maintenance, and repair across the following regions.
Our Access Control Services
Layered access control coverage. Start at the layer that fits where you are: vendor-neutral install if you're scoping a new project, the Paxton chooser if you're picking a platform, the product pages for Net2, Paxton10 or Avigilon Alta specifics, the diagnostic and emergency pages if something is broken now.
Generic access control (any platform)
Vendor-neutral install, planned maintenance, and repair. Use these if you don't yet know which platform fits, or your site runs a mixed estate.
Paxton brand chooser (Net2 vs Paxton10)
Choose between Paxton's two platforms: Net2 (server-based, capex, single-site) or Paxton10 (cloud, opex, multi-site, integrated video). The product pages below carry the actual install/maintain/repair detail per platform.
Net2 (server-based, on-network, no per-door subscription)
Server-based Paxton platform for single-building sites, capex model, on-network admin, free licensing. The right product for most managed offices, council buildings, schools, and distribution units.
Paxton10 (cloud-managed, integrated video, per-door subscription)
Cloud Paxton platform for multi-site operators, opex model, integrated cameras on the same timeline as access events. The right product for school trusts, council estates, multi-site retail and hospitality.
Avigilon Alta (cloud-native access and video, certified partner)
Fully serverless cloud platform, formerly Openpath, with mobile credentials as standard and video on the same system. The right product for cloud-first businesses, multi-site operators without Paxton hardware, and anyone already running Openpath or Ava.
Diagnostic and emergency
For intermittent faults that need methodical investigation rather than a parts swap, and for urgent in-hours priority response when something is genuinely broken now.
Access Control FAQs
We install card and fob readers, PIN keypads, biometric fingerprint scanners, video intercoms, smart door handles, and electric locks. We work across three platforms: Paxton Net2 for server-based single-site systems, Paxton10 for cloud-managed multi-site deployments, and Avigilon Alta for fully cloud-native access control with mobile credentials as standard. Every system is designed around your specific requirements.
Net2 is a server-based system ideal for single-site installations with straightforward access control needs. Paxton10 is a cloud-connected platform designed for multi-site management, integrated CCTV, and remote access from any browser. We help you choose the right platform during your free site survey.
Avigilon Alta is a fully cloud-native access control platform, formerly known as Openpath, with no on-site server and mobile credentials as standard. Net2 is server-based with no subscription, Paxton10 is cloud-connected on Paxton hardware, and Alta is completely serverless with phones as the primary credential and cloud video available on the same platform. As authorised Paxton installers and a certified Avigilon partner, we recommend whichever platform fits your site best during the free survey.
Yes. We offer planned maintenance contracts covering firmware updates, battery replacement, hardware inspection, credential auditing, and full system health checks. Contracts are tailored to your system size and usage, from annual visits for small systems to quarterly servicing for multi-door commercial installations.
Yes. We diagnose and repair faults on Paxton Net2, Paxton10 and Avigilon Alta systems including reader failures, maglock issues, controller problems, software errors, and communication faults. We also repair legacy Openpath systems, which are now part of Avigilon Alta. Our engineers carry common spare parts and can resolve most issues on the first visit.
A single-door installation is usually completed within a day. Multi-door systems typically take 2-5 days depending on the number of access points, cabling requirements, and integration complexity. We provide a clear timeline during the free site survey so you know exactly what to expect.
