Paxton Net2 — The Dominant City Fringe Office System
Paxton Net2, the leading electronic access-control system, dominates the City fringe offices in Old Street, Shoreditch, and Clerkenwell. We’re proud to install, commission, and maintain this robust system, ensuring secure and efficient access control for diverse businesses.
Net2’s architecture is straightforward: each door is equipped with a fob/card reader connected to a controller, all networked back to a central server. This setup makes it ideal for environments like Old Street fintech companies, where staff numbers range from 30 to 200.
Here, audit logs for FCA compliance are essential, and instant deactivation of access fobs for departing staff or contractors is a breeze.
In Shoreditch, time-restricted access is perfect for tech offices with frequent freelancer turnover. Meanwhile, Clerkenwell’s creative agencies benefit from secure studio access.
Installation is swift, typically taking 2-5 days for a 20-door building. For, we recommend a maintenance contract, especially for FCA-regulated tenants.
Salto SVN — When Wiring Isn’t an Option
While Paxton Net2 offers robust solutions for networked environments, sometimes wiring simply isn’t feasible. That’s where Salto SVN comes into play. It’s perfect for scenarios where running cables isn’t an option, thanks to its battery-powered handles.
These handles communicate over a virtual network, using staff fobs as data carriers. This means each time a fob is used, it updates the system effortlessly.
We’ve found Salto SVN particularly useful around the City fringe. Think Old Street and Clerkenwell hotels, where post-build wiring isn’t possible, or Bart’s Hospital, where drilling for cabling disrupts operations.
Inns of Court chambers with heritage doors also benefit from this non-invasive solution. Salto handles retrofit existing euro cylinder doors in just 30-45 minutes.
With a battery life of 2-3 years and options for card, fob, or mobile keys, it’s a flexible choice. Plus, building managers get extensive control via Salto Pro software.

In the dynamic environment of City fringe offices, relying solely on electronic access control isn’t enough. We often pair restricted-key cylinders with electronic systems like Paxton or Salto to enhance security for specific areas.
For instance, server rooms in Old Street fintech firms, data rooms with FCA-regulated documents, and drug cabinets at Bart’s benefit from this dual approach.
The Mul-T-Lock Junior offers mid-tier security, with a registered card system managed by the building manager. This setup allows for quick key code deactivation when staff leave.
For higher security needs, such as Hatton Garden vaults or Inns of Court records, the ASSA Twin Combi is ideal.
