Our gate automation solutions incorporate leading Italian-engineered components from brands like BFT and CAME. We specify systems based on entrance dimensions, usage frequency, and environmental conditions. All installations include safety features like photocells and emergency release mechanisms, with optional integration of intercoms and GSM controls for remote operation.
Commercial Gates
Tailored commercial gate systems for schools, SMEs, and corporate facilities feature heavy-duty materials and automation components. We design solutions that balance security requirements with operational efficiency, including barrier systems and turnstiles. All commercial installations meet BS EN 13241-1 safety standards with comprehensive documentation for compliance audits.
Maintenance Contracts
We offer single-service visits and comprehensive maintenance contracts with bi-annual inspections. Our engineers perform full system diagnostics, lubrication of moving parts, safety equipment testing, and software updates. Priority call-out services are available for contract holders, with detailed service reports provided after each visit.
Access Controls
Integrated access control solutions combine gate automation with security technologies like keypads, card readers, and intercom systems. We design systems for both new installations and retrofits, ensuring compatibility with existing security infrastructure while maintaining seamless user operation and emergency access protocols.
