About Us
Our Mission
We understand that our reputation is built on every job we undertake. Our mission is simple: to deliver unbeatable service. While we are known for industry-leading lead times, our dedication goes far beyond speed. We focus on meticulous attention to detail, crafting durable, high-quality products and always putting our customers’ needs first.
Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, our team brings together decades of expertise in master key system design, access control, architectural hardware, and specification for building projects. With our deep knowledge, we guide our customers towards the right key system for their security needs. We are also committed to ongoing support, ensuring complete peace of mind.
How we work
At Access2, we are a channel-focused manufacturer, dedicated to supplying companies across the architectural ironmongery, locksmith, and door manufacturing industries. While we prioritise strong partnerships with our valued channel partners, we also work closely with end-users, architects, and their supply chain—particularly on larger and more complex projects. Our adaptability shines in every interaction, whether providing detailed support and guidance, delivering product training, or assisting with commissioning and installation. We are committed to ensuring a seamless system design that precisely meets our customers’ evolving needs.
Our Standards
We are actively engaged in the industry at every level, from regional to international. Our late Chairman, David Whitworth, held prestigious roles, including past President of the GAI, former Chairman of the dhf, and honorary Chairman of ARGE. Continuing this legacy, our Managing Director, Neil Rule, and Sales Director, Clint Robertson, serve on committees for organisations such as BSI, CEN, dhf, and ARGE.
As proud members of the Master Locksmiths Association, Guild of Architectural Ironmongers, dhf, and ARGE, we are firmly connected to the industry’s leading networks. Accredited to ISO 9001:2015, we undergo annual BSI inspections for our TS007 cylinder manufacturing and collaborate with top industry partners to uphold the highest standards. This commitment ensures the quality, reliability, and innovation our customers trust.

With extensive experience, our team at Access2 is widely recognised as one of the leading providers of master key systems. This international recognition is the result of years of dedication, earning us high praise from our customers. However, we do not rest on our achievements. Instead, we continuously learn, develop, and expand our expertise. This unwavering commitment to progress drives us forward, ensuring excellence in everything we do.
