Control Who Enters Your Property — Simply & Securely
Access control gives you complete authority over who can enter your property and when. Whether you want to see and speak to a visitor before opening your gate, restrict access to certain areas of a commercial building, or manage multiple users with different access rights, MPW Electrical Security design and install the right system for your requirements across Wigan and the North West.
Our access control installations span the full range of technologies available — from simple audio intercoms and PIN keypads through to video intercoms with colour screens, proximity fob readers, Bluetooth smartphone entry, and full commercial access control platforms such as Paxton Net2. For residential properties, we most commonly install video intercoms paired with automated gates, allowing you to see and verify a visitor on a screen inside your home (or via a smartphone app) before remotely releasing the gate. For business premises, we install multi-door systems with individual user credentials, access logging and time-restricted zones. Videx intercom systems and Paxton access control are our primary product lines, offering excellent reliability and feature-rich management software.
Access control integrates naturally with our other services. Pair it with automated gates for a complete entry solution, combine it with CCTV to record entry and exit events, and link it to your alarm system for a fully joined-up security setup. Every installation is designed specifically for your property and configured to your needs — we handle everything from cabling and installation to programming and user training.

Access Control Solutions for Every Situation
From a simple home intercom to a multi-site commercial access control platform — we have the experience and product range to suit any requirement.
Video Intercoms
A video intercom lets you see and speak to visitors before granting entry — providing both security and convenience. We install colour video intercoms with high-resolution cameras at the entrance, connected to a screen inside the property or linked via app to your smartphone, so you can manage visitors from anywhere. When paired with automated gates or an electric door strike, you can release the gate or door remotely with a single button press. Systems can be expanded to include multiple internal screens, ideal for larger homes or apartment blocks, and footage from the door camera can be recorded to your CCTV system for a complete audit trail.
Keypad & Fob Systems
Keypad and proximity fob entry systems are a practical and cost-effective solution for controlling vehicle and pedestrian access. PIN keypads allow entry via a personal code — ideal where individual access records are useful, as different codes can be assigned to different users. Proximity fob readers grant access when a valid fob or card is presented — fast, convenient and easy to manage, with lost fobs instantly deactivated from the system. Combined keypad/reader units offer both options. These systems are commonly used for residential developments, gated communities, commercial car parks and business entrances, and integrate directly with automated gate and barrier systems.
Commercial Access Control
For businesses with multiple doors, multiple users or complex access requirements, we install Paxton Net2 commercial access control systems. Paxton is the UK market leader in commercial access control, with a software platform that allows you to manage hundreds of users and dozens of doors from a central PC or via the cloud. Set time-restricted access for cleaning staff, grant visitors temporary credentials, pull an access report to see who entered which door and when, and integrate with your fire alarm system for automatic door release on activation. Paxton systems are scalable from a single door to large multi-site installations.
