What is gate automation?

Gate automation allows you to control entrances and exits via integration with access control and intercom systems. 

Automation can be installed onto swing or sliding gates, vehicle or pedestrian gates. 

Egress can be automatic using a ground loop for vehicles driving up to the gate or it can be controlled via the access control and intercoms.

We also supply and install automated barriers for Car Parks and other entrances or exits.

The benefits of gate automation

  • Gate automation enables you to restrict access to your premises and control who is allowed on site, helping you to regulate movement throughout the site and reduce the possibility of unauthorised entry to your site. 
  • Helps to create a safe environment for staff, visitors and pupils by allowing you to ‘police’ visitors on and off the premises. 
  • Significantly enhances safeguarding in education facilities.

Safety Measures

The owner of any automated gate has a duty of care to ensure that the gate is considered ‘safe’ and is maintained regularly to ensure it remains compliant with current health and safety regulations and legal requirements.

Selecting a Gatesafe registered installer grants you peace of mind that whatever your requirements we can design, install and maintain gate automation systems that are safe for your users.

All of our designs feature a minimum of 2 x safety features, including safety edges and photocells with additional features available. We guarantee that with all of our automated gate systems safety comes as standard and is not simply ‘optional’.
