What is an automated/electric gate?
When you want to control access to a property or area, gate automation allows this to be automated. By adding the appropriate machinery to compatible gates, the process of opening and closing the gate can be controlled automatically.
What types of gates can be automated?
Most gates can be automated.
Exactly what will the installation team do?
All the civil engineering works preparation required to install automation, install automation and safety systems onto the gate, install access control systems, connect and commission.
What are the responsibilities of others?
To save you money on surveys all we need are the measurements and photos of where the gate is to be located. Prior to gate installation we require power brought to the gate by a qualified electrical engineer.
What do I need to check first?
Consider the security level you would like to achieve and consider the practicalities for everyday living to create the perfect balance.
Assess your needs for access and egress, how would you like to enter and egress, what about visitors and how they will gain access. Access and egress can be offered in a controlled or passive solution. Controlled by way of authorised remote key fob, card reader, intercom, video-com, long range tag systems, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition system). Passive entry/egress with push button control, via photo-cell systems or underground loop conductivity systems.
