Commercial Access Control Systems
Secure and Manage Access to Your Building
Mere UK designs, installs and maintains commercial access control systems for organisations throughout Merseyside, Manchester, Cheshire and the wider North West. Our solutions help businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, local authorities and industrial sites control who can access buildings, restricted areas and secure zones.
Modern access control systems provide a more secure and flexible alternative to traditional locks and keys. By using electronic credentials, key fobs, access cards, mobile devices or biometric authentication, organisations can manage access permissions quickly and efficiently while improving security and accountability.
Whether you require a single controlled entrance or a multi-site access control solution, our experienced engineers can design a system tailored to your operational and security requirements.
What Is an Access Control System?
Instead of relying on traditional keys, authorised users are granted access using credentials such as:
Access cards
Key fobs
PIN codes
Mobile credentials
Biometric identification
Intercom and visitor management systems
Integration with Other Security Systems
Access control systems can be integrated with:
CCTV systems
Automatic gates
Intercom systems
Speed gates and turnstiles
Intruder alarms
Fire alarm systems
Every access event can be recorded, providing valuable information about who entered a particular area and when. An access control system is an electronic security solution that controls and monitors access to buildings, rooms and secure areas.
Paxton Access Control Systems

Trusted throughout the education, healthcare, commercial and public sectors, Paxton solutions provide secure, scalable and easy-to-manage access control for organisations of all sizes.
Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 Access Control Systems
Mere UK specialises in the design, installation and maintenance of both Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 access control systems. Paxton Net2 is one of the UK’s most established access control platforms, allowing organisations to manage users, access permissions and building security from a central location.

Both systems are widely used in schools, healthcare facilities, commercial offices and public sector environments due to their flexibility, reliability and ability to integrate with wider security systems.

Paxton systems are also backed by a comprehensive 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, providing additional peace of mind that your investment is protected and supported for years to come.

Our engineers have experience working with ACT5 and ACT10 access control platforms, which provide robust and scalable door access management for commercial and educational environments. For organisations seeking advanced security integration, we can incorporate Dahua technologies into access control systems, providing enhanced monitoring, visitor management and security management capabilities. By working with multiple manufacturers, we can recommend the most suitable access control solution based on the needs of each individual client rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.

Access control systems provide greater security, flexibility and visibility over who is accessing your premises.
Access control systems help organisations improve security, manage user permissions and reduce the risks associated with lost or stolen keys. They allow administrators to quickly grant, modify or remove access rights, while also providing detailed audit trails of entry and exit activity. Modern access control systems can also be expanded as organisations grow and their security requirements evolve.
