Access Control Upgrade – Red Marsh Holly School

At Lookout Fire & Security Solutions, we deliver expert access control upgrades across Wigan, the North West, and the UK.

One of our recent projects was at Red Marsh Holly Special School, where we installed a Paxton Net2 Pro access control system across 23 doors and gates. 

The school wanted to enhance overall security while providing flexible management for staff and visitors, creating a safer environment for pupils and staff. 

The system also integrates seamlessly with their lockdown and fire alarm systems, offering an all-in-one safety solution.

Despite some challenging routes to achieve the ideal locations for the client, our team completed the installation smoothly and efficiently, delivering a future-proofed security system.

All assets have been integrated with Uptick, ensuring easy servicing and maintenance moving forward.

We’re excited to begin Phase 2 at the secondary school in the coming weeks!

Key Outcomes of the Access Control Upgrade

The recent access control upgrade at Red Marsh Holly Special School delivered significant improvements for both security and daily operations.

Let’s take a deeper look into the benefits and results:

  • Enhanced Security: The Paxton Net2 Pro system provides secure access across 23 doors and gates, reducing the risk of unauthorised entry which is essential for a primary school and any educational establishment or centre.

  • Integrated Safety Systems: Full integration with the school’s lockdown and fire alarm systems ensures staff and pupils are protected in emergencies, ensuring that all angles are covered and nothing is left to chance.

  • Flexible Access Management: Staff and visitor access can now be managed centrally, making it easy to add or remove permissions instantly with little fuss, hassle, or stress.

  • Simplified Maintenance: All assets are integrated with Uptick, streamlining ongoing servicing which can be managed by Lookout Fire & Security Solutions and reducing long-term maintenance effort.

  • Staff & Visitor Convenience: Smooth, user-friendly operation improves day-to-day access and reduces administrative overhead which may have otherwise resulted in additional costs of wasted time.

This access control upgrade for the local school has created a safer, more efficient environment for staff and pupils, while providing the school with a modern, reliable security system that will serve them for years to come.

The client was extremely pleased with the overall service provided by our team and we look forward to Phase 2 of the project!
