How Do Commercial Electric Gates Work?

Our commercial electric gates operate via a process:

Installation: We install the gate using robust materials such as galvanised steel or aluminium, paired with a reliable motor system like swing or sliding gate operators.
Connection: The gate is connected to a control system that includes keypads, remote control units, and GSM modules, allowing for remote access and monitoring.
Configuration: We integrate security features including CCTV cameras, intercom systems, and anti-tailgating technology. User access is controlled through customisable ID card readers or biometric scanners tailored to each client's needs.
Testing: We thoroughly test the system following installation to ensure smooth operation, adhering to safety standards such as the EN 12453 and EN 12445 regulations.
Handover: We provide a full demonstration of the system's functionality, offer comprehensive maintenance guidelines, and schedule regular service checks to prolong the lifespan of the gates.

Our process ensures reliable, secure access for commercial properties. Contact us for more information or to schedule a consultation.

How Long Does Commercial Electric Gates Installation Take?

The installation of commercial electric gates usually takes three to five days. During the initial phase, we conduct a site survey to assess the landscape and determine the positioning of the gates.

We use equipment such as excavators and concrete mixers to lay foundations that meet British Standards for safety and durability.

Once the groundwork is complete, our team sets up the gate using materials like galvanised steel or aluminium, depending on client preferences and security requirements. We then incorporate automation systems with technologies like hydraulic or electromechanical motors and integrate access control systems such as keypad entry or RFID readers.

After setup, system configuration includes programming and calibrating the gates to ensure smooth operation. We conduct thorough testing to ensure reliability and offer support to minimise downtime during installation.

These steps guarantee that the gates function efficiently while meeting all quality specifications. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us.

Who Needs Commercial Electric Gates?

Businesses that require enhanced security and access control benefit from our commercial electric gates. Industries such as logistics often use these gates for warehouses, protecting valuable stock from unauthorised access.

Offices in busy urban areas find these systems effective in managing vehicular traffic and ensuring only authorised personnel enter the premises.

Retail parks with substantial footfall benefit from electric gates to separate service areas from public spaces, improving safety and operational efficiency. Private enterprise facilities seeking privacy and protection can use gates integrated with biometric access systems, like fingerprint or facial recognition, to provide a layer of security.

Our gates also meet relevant UK safety standards, ensuring reliable performance and compliance with industry regulations. If your business needs a dependable access control solution, contact us today to discuss your requirements.

How Much Do Commercial Electric Gates Cost?

Commercial electric gates typically cost between £3,000 and £7,000. Factors influencing the price include gate size, design, and additional security features like access control integration and remote monitoring capabilities.

The materials selected, such as wrought iron, aluminium, or steel, also play a crucial role in determining the overall cost. For example, wrought iron gates are generally more ornate and expensive, while aluminium offers a lighter, corrosion-resistant option suitable for various weather conditions.

Furthermore, the type of automation system used, such as hydraulic or electromechanical operators, affects both functionality and price. Installation complexity, site preparation, and compliance with local regulations or safety standards further contribute to potential costs.
