Automated security gates provide a sense of safety and control within your residential or commercial property. They open when required and close immediately after, making your property easy to access, yet secure.

Automated security gates have become popular in households, commercial buildings and other establishments due to the number of advantages they offer, such as:

• A remote control: Opens the gate conveniently in seconds from your car, this is great at night time or in wet weather!
• Secured lock: The gate cannot be opened when it shouldn't be.
• Closes safely: Obstacle detection means it senses moving and fixed objects.
• Intercoms: Visitors will usually use an intercom at the gateway to contact you before you let them in, this helps prevent unwanted callers.
• Protection: Stop worrying about the kids or pets getting into the street or wandering away!

Swinging vs. Sliding Gates

Automation can be fitted to either swinging or sliding gate types. Sliding gates, move from side to side travelling on a ground mounted steel track. These gates can be fitted to existing or new driveways. The gate rolls on the track supported by two wheels. This type of gate offers security without the use of a lot of internal space and are best suited for light commercial and industrial applications. Swinging gates have motors that work independently on each panel. Locking with latches chain or automation, these gates are easy to use.
