Access Control & Pedestrian Gate Installation for a Primary School in Middlesbrough
School Security Gates Installation Project Middlesbrough
Keeping pupils, staff, and visitors safe is a top priority for schools across the North East. We recently completed a school security upgrade for a primary school in Middlesbrough, replacing an outdated standalone system with a modern, fully integrated access control and pedestrian gate solution.
This project was designed to improve site security, control access during school hours, and ensure the entrance met the daily demands of a busy education environment.
Paxton Net2 Access Control System Installation
We replaced the old system with a Paxton Net2 access control system, a trusted solution widely used in schools and educational settings across the UK.
Key benefits of the Paxton Net2 system for schools include:
- Controlled access for authorised staff only
- Simple management of access permissions
- Scalable system suitable for future expansion
- Improved safeguarding and compliance
This upgrade gives the school greater control over who can enter the building during teaching hours, while still allowing flexibility for staff and approved visitors.
Pedestrian Gate Installation for School Safety
Alongside the access control system, we installed a secure pedestrian gate to manage entry at the school perimeter.
The gate was fitted with:
- A Locinox gate closer to ensure the gate closes safely and consistently
- An electro handle, integrated with the access control system
- Robust hardware designed for frequent daily use in a school environment
This setup ensures the gate cannot be left open accidentally and helps prevent unauthorised access to the school grounds.
Designed for Daily School Use
When working in schools, reliability and safety are essential. The system was designed to cope with:
- High footfall during drop-off and pick-up times
- Staff access throughout the school day
- Secure lockdown outside of operating hours
All equipment was selected to be durable, low-maintenance, and suitable for long-term use in an educational setting.
