Engineering Solutions by Gate Experts

Our extensive knowledge of all automation systems and access control combined with our understanding of the importance commercial site security allows us to provide a professional and prompt service to help keep your assets safe.  Commercial automation systems often work in more extreme conditions with heavier equipment and increased workload which necessitates careful selection of equipment and a disciplined maintenance schedule.

Our team are experienced, professional and fully equipped with everything needed to install, maintain or repair your system.  We can provide full risk assessments and method statements along with insurance certification and extensive company policies. 

Decades of experience in the automation industry, installing new systems but with a dedicated focus on repairing existing equipment, we have worked on almost every brand and type of automation.  This gives us a unique ability to work on any type of gate, motor or control equipment, regardless of age or origin.  Our approach is always to repair a system on the first visit if it is possible and do everything we can to get you secure again.  We have a high success rate and are often able to identify faults that other can't, and do so efficiently.  If we cant fix an issue during our first visit, we will identify the correct course of action, fully inform you of the what we need to do and will provide a detailed, fixed quotation.

Automated systems are complex combination of electronic and mechanical equipment that work in harsh environments and careful maintenance can increase both reliability and lifespan.  Every system is different and requires an understanding of what individual components need routine attention and what proactive steps could irradicate nuisance breakdowns.  Servicing of your system allows us to not only keep everything in good shape but also allows us to ensure that it is operating safely and smoothly for peace-of-mind.  Most commercial property owners and managers also have a legal obligation to ensure that routine servicing and safety inspections are undertaken.

Some of our most important clients are Property Managements Companies with large portfolios of multi-occupancy developments.  Many of these properties have secure parking with automated gate systems and barriers.  We have developed long standing relationships with these companies, providing fast response times, good communication, professional behaviour and versatility.  For many of these sites, our experience, recommendations and diligent serving has significantly reduced expenditure caused by breakdowns and has lead to good feedback from end users and clients.  Our flexible approach has also helped with emergency responses for work outside of our remit such as damaged doors, locks, fencing etc.  If we can help, we will!

Providing a safe environment for pupils and staff has seen an increase in the number of schools that have automated security gates.  Providing reliable gates that prevent unwanted access is the first step but the school scenario requires careful consideration to safety and access control.

Every new school installation is carefully risk assessed to ensure that all potential hazards are eliminated with the understanding that children and untrained members of the public may be regularly using the gate system.  The standards of safety must be higher than in any other application.

Our advantage over many other automation installers is our extensive experience of working within schools and our ability to apply technology that makes the introduction of an automated gate seamless.  We employ sophisticated, yet simple to use, access control systems that provide secure access for staff, timed openings for pick-up and drop-off and functionality to accommodate after school events and clubs.  Our systems can also alter operation for school closures and holidays.

We can also provide our services for existing gates and we'll be more than happy to discuss your project in more detail, providing free advice and quotations.

Many of our installations are enhanced with intercom systems, smart phone access and CCTV.  We have a range of systems that we routinely employ to work seamlessly with our automated systems and we also have an established small network of companies that are able to offer an extended portfolio of products for larger projects such as car-parks, large estates and commercial properties.

Some larger projects for commercial sites or prestigious properties often require a significant amount of research and planning.  We have worked alongside developers and architects on many projects, providing in-depth industry experience, insight into scenario accommodation, provision of detailed specifications and drawing reviews to ensure that projects go smoothly from start to finish.  We have worked with large security contractors, ambulance services, schools and many of the UK's largest construction companies.  We are happy to consult on new projects, existing systems and on projects undertaken by a third party.
