Which Gate System Is Right For Me?

How to build a wish list for your ideal system

• Existing gates or new gates?
• Timber of Steel?
• To swing open or slide?
• How do you want to control access?

Existing gates or new gates?

It is generally possible to convert most existing manual gates to automatic; your Access Controls approved installer will be able to offer you advice to any changes that may be necessary.

It is important to consider the physical condition of gateposts and existing gates, timber or steel to ensure that they are suitable for automation and that any posts are suitable for mounting gate operators and accessories.

If you are considering a new installation, our surveyor will be able to advise you or your contractor the exact requirement regarding post sizes, positions, suitable gates and any cable provisions etc.

Access Control Solutions is our sister company who supplies security solutions for your home. They supply everything from alarm systems and cctv to intercoms and door entry systems.

Swing and Slide Gates

The choice is largely down to the space available – swing gates require a clear space for the opening- added opening distances can be achieved on underground systems by installing the gates on the inner side of the property and adding a 120 / or 180 degree operators, as most operators offer 90-110 degree opening distance. Sliding gates are perhaps the best choice when drive space is limited as they use the least space when opening.

Controlling your gates?

Access Controls will be able to offer a wealth of experience in various ways of providing access control solutions for your automatic gate. Whilst it may seem that you just want to control your gates by hand held remote control there is usually more to consider:

• Postman, milkman, waste removal, paperboy etc.
• Friends and relatives arriving by vehicle and on foot.
