At Mere UK, we specialise in the design, installation, and integration of professional access control systems that help businesses, residential developments, and commercial premises manage who can enter their property and when. Whether you are securing a single office door or an entire multi-building site, a properly designed access control system provides convenience, security, and complete visibility over building access.
Access Control System Design & Installation
Tailored Access Control Solutions
Every property has unique security requirements. Our access control solutions are designed around your site layout, user needs, and security objectives. We install systems for:
-
Offices and commercial buildings
-
Apartment blocks and residential developments
-
Industrial premises and warehouses
-
Schools and educational facilities
-
Car parks, gated communities, and private estates
By combining modern door entry technology, intelligent access software, and reliable locking hardware, we create systems that are secure, scalable, and easy to manage.
Paxton Access Control Systems
We design and install industry-leading access control platforms, including Paxton Net2 and Paxton10.
Paxton Net2 is a powerful, networked access control system that allows administrators to centrally manage doors, users, permissions, and events. It supports a wide range of access methods including key fobs, proximity cards, PIN codes, and smartphone credentials. With Net2, building managers can:
-
Grant or revoke access instantly
-
Schedule user permissions
-
Monitor door activity in real time
-
Generate access reports
-
Integrate with CCTV systems
Paxton10 is a modern security management platform that combines access control and video management within a single, unified system. Designed for commercial buildings, residential developments, and multi-site organisations, it allows administrators to manage doors, users, and cameras from one intuitive interface. The system supports a variety of authentication methods including key fobs, proximity cards, PIN codes, and smartphone credentials using secure Bluetooth technology.
Paxton10 provides real-time monitoring of door activity, allowing building managers to track who enters specific areas and when. It also enables flexible access permissions, making it easy to assign entry rights based on roles, departments, or schedules. Integrated video management allows cameras to be linked directly to access events, providing a clear visual record for security and auditing purposes while simplifying overall building security management.
Intercom Systems for Residential & Commercial Properties
Door entry and intercom systems provide an essential first layer of security by allowing occupants to verify visitors before granting access.
We install reliable intercom solutions including Videx audio and video intercom systems, which are widely used in apartment blocks, flats, and gated residential developments. These systems allow residents to communicate with visitors at building entrances and remotely release doors or gates. Videx systems can also integrate with GSM technology, enabling calls from entrance panels to be routed directly to residents’ mobile phones—ideal for locations without a staffed reception.
For properties requiring modern video communication, we also install Dahua video intercom systems. These provide high-definition video calling, mobile app integration, and remote unlocking capabilities, allowing residents or staff to grant access even when they are not physically present on site.
Gates, Barriers & Perimeter Access Control
Access control is not limited to doors. Many properties require controlled vehicle access through gates and barriers.
We design and install systems for:
-
Automated vehicle barrier gates
-
Sliding and swing gates
-
Car park entry systems
-
GSM-controlled gate access
-
ANPR or credential-based vehicle entry
These solutions are ideal for residential developments, business parks, and restricted parking areas, ensuring only authorised vehicles can enter.
Locking Mechanisms & Access Hardware
A reliable access control system depends on the correct choice of locking hardware. We install a wide range of mechanisms designed for different security levels and door types.
Common locking devices include:
Magnetic Locks (Maglocks) – Electromagnetic locks provide strong holding force and are commonly used on glass doors, emergency exits, and high-traffic access points.
Electric Solenoid Bolts – Often used where concealed locking is required, solenoid bolts secure doors by driving a solid bolt into a receiving strike when access is denied.
Electric Strikes – Frequently used with latch-based door hardware, allowing the latch to release electronically when access is granted.
Barrier Gates and Vehicle Control Systems – Used to manage traffic flow in car parks, industrial sites, and private estates.
Each installation is carefully designed to ensure compliance with safety regulations, fire escape requirements, and long-term reliability.
Professional Design, Installation & Integration
Our access control installations are designed to be scalable, allowing systems to expand as your building or organisation grows. We also integrate access control with other security technologies such as CCTV, intruder alarms, and intercom systems to create a fully connected security solution.
From initial consultation and site survey through to installation, configuration, and ongoing support, Mere UK provides a complete service to ensure your premises remain secure, accessible, and easy to manage.
