[Installation](/services/access-control/installation)[Maintenance](/services/access-control/maintenance)[Legacy upgrades](/services/access-control/upgrades)[Integration](/services/access-control/integration) An unmaintained access control system is a security liability. Former employees may retain active credentials. Electric locks develop faults that go unnoticed. Firmware vulnerabilities accumulate. Audit logs overwrite. SPS Technical provides planned maintenance for Paxton Net2, Paxton 10 and third-party access control systems across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber — keeping credential databases current, hardware reliable and fire alarm interfaces verified. ## Why Access Control Maintenance Matters Access control systems degrade silently. A door that fails to lock properly, a reader that intermittently rejects valid credentials, a fire alarm interface that hasn't been tested since installation — none of these announce themselves until they cause a problem. Regular planned maintenance catches these issues before they become security incidents or compliance failures. Why maintenance matters An unmaintained access control system is a security liability. Former employees may still hold active credentials. Electric locks develop faults that aren't noticed until a door fails to secure. Firmware vulnerabilities go unpatched. Audit logs fill up and overwrite. SPS Technical's planned maintenance programme keeps your system secure, compliant and functioning as intended — and keeps your credential database accurate. What we check ## What's Included in an Access Control Maintenance Visit SPS Technical maintenance visits cover every component of the access control system — from reader functionality and electric lock operation through to credential database audit and fire alarm door release testing. All results are documented and a visit report issued on the day. Every maintenance visit covers the following as standard. Reader and keypad functionality test — all entry points Electric lock and door release mechanism test Controller and power supply inspection Credential database audit — inactive and former user tokens flagged Access zone and time schedule verification Firmware and software updates applied Fire alarm interface test — door release on alarm activation confirmed Audit log review and export System documentation updated Visit report issued ## We Maintain Systems We Didn't Install SPS Technical maintains access control systems from Paxton and other manufacturers. We survey the existing system, identify any outstanding issues and produce a written report before the maintenance contract begins. SPS Technical maintains access control systems from Paxton and other manufacturers. We survey the existing system, identify any outstanding issues, and bring the maintenance record up to standard.
