Security Access Gates & Barriers

Commercial Security Access Gates & Barriers

There are multiple mechanical Gates and Barriers available which can be designed to manage both pedestrian and vehicle movement safely. These control mechanisms also include high specification, CE approved turnstiles which are ideal for controlling access in environments such as public buildings, factories, reception areas and health clubs. Turnstiles can include either 90 degree or 120-degree rotor assemblies, these can be configured as either single-directional or bi-directional motion if required.

In addition, single and double turnstiles in full height or three-quarter height models are also available. Automated Sliding Gate Systems can be designed to accommodate the exact requirements such as the volume of either vehicle or pedestrian traffic will be using the gate, as well as integrating a number of options to control the system.

The built-in solution automated mechanism, housing the control within the structure can be aesthetic and efficient. The mechanism can be located either above-ground or underground with multiple options depending on various elements such as opening angles and flooding areas. The Automatic Rising Kerbs are available in different widths and heights, ensuring a high level of security right up to crash-tested versions to prevent terrorist attacks.

External gates and barriers can be supported with LED Traffic Lights, Warning Sirens, Battery back-up and Warning Signage all designed to complement the managed control system. All gates and barriers can be controlled by access control include Voice/Video Intercom Access, Keypads, Proximity Cards & Token Acceptors and managed by either security or receptionists. These systems can be to name just a few.
