Who is Paxton?
Paxton started out as a building company. Tony Croudace founded Paxton Homes in 1975, named after the Victorian architect Sir Joseph Paxton. After a break-in at his own home in 1984, he saw the opportunities in security. In 1985 Paxton Homes became Paxton Automation, a maker of electronic access control; today the company is called Paxton Access.
The head office is still in Brighton, and development and production take place in England. Paxton has colleagues in 12 countries and exports to more than 60 countries. Founder Tony Croudace is still a director; his son Sholto has been chairman since 2020.
For the Netherlands and Belgium, Paxton Benelux is based in Breda. That is where the Experience Centre is: a showroom where installers and customers can see the products and attend technical training.

Paxton at RRB Security
RRB Security is a Paxton Integrator. We install Paxton access control and handle the whole process: on-site advice, choosing the right electric locks and hardware, installation and mounting, and management afterwards.
Besides ordinary doors, we also connect access gates, barriers, glass doors, garage doors and steel doors. Where needed we do custom work, for example welding or fitting electric strikes.
We integrate Paxton with intruder alarms, fire alarm systems and CCTV, and control gates with number plate recognition through a Wiegand interface. One example is the integration with MeshLink.
Ideally, involve us at the construction stage: that avoids extra costs. Read more about access control for businesses on our access control page.
