Why do I need it?
Compact is the ideal choice if you need to secure internal doors but don’t want the complexity or cost of a PC-based network. With the reader and control unit combined in one unit, installation is quick – just connect to a power supply and lock, and you’re ready to go.
Managing access is effortless with our card packs. Instead of issuing keys, you give staff and visitors electronic tokens. If a token is lost, simply present a shadow card to instantly block it. This prevents anyone from using the lost token to gain entry, keeping your rooms secure without the hassle of changing locks.

Easy Management Without the Complexity
Switch2 uses separate control units and readers, giving you an adaptable, scalable setup. Tokens replace traditional keys – and if one is lost, simply present a shadow card to disable it. No locksmiths, no hassle.
Flexible Access Permissions
Different coloured tokens can be issued for varied access levels, making it simple to manage permissions for staff, visitors, and management.
Example:
- Courts only
- Admin office and courts
- All areas
With Switch2, you control who goes where – quickly, securely, and without the cost or complexity of networked systems.
