Brief

This Special Needs School in Chelsea required an access control solution to dramatically improve the security of its buildings but more importantly, its students, staff and visitors.

To do this we also carried out some substantial network cabling works to support the new access control system.

They requested an internal door access solution and we recommended the Paxton system for access control for its high quality, user-friendly, flexible features.

The Solution

Access Control

We carried out the supply and installation of a Paxton Net2 access control solution on 3 doors, 2 external and 1 internal, as follows;

  • Area 1 – 1 x Paxton vandal-resistant video intercom with built-in reader and keypad on entry, using existing PTE button, break glass on exit and maglock.
  • Area 2 – 1 x Paxton P50 reader on entry, P50 reader & break glass with sounder on exit and new single maglock.
  • Area 3 – 1 x Paxton P50 reader on entry, P50 reader & break glass with sounder on exit and new single maglock.

Network Cabling

To enable the installation of the access control solution, we also carried out the supply and installation of a full network cabling solution of 50 Cat5e network outlets.

All network cables were run through the loft space and new containment, back to a new 12u 600mm deep wall mounted network cabinet.
