Frequently Asked Questions

Only the best products, every time.
and many more.
How long does it take to install an automated gate system?
Installation time varies depending on the complexity of the system, gate type, and site conditions. A basic residential system might take a few days, while a commercial or crash-rated system could take several weeks including wiring, foundations, and access control integration.
Are automated gates safe for pedestrians?
Automated gates can be equipped with safety sensors and edge detection to prevent contact with vehicles or pedestrians. However, it’s important to design separate pedestrian access points whenever possible to reduce the risk of accidents.
What happens if there’s a power outage?
Most automated gate systems include manual override features or backup battery systems to allow operation during power failures. Depending on the system, gates may default to open, closed, or manual mode for safety and security.
Can automated gates be integrated with access control systems?
Yes. Automated gates can be integrated with a wide range of access control solutions such as keypads, card readers, RFID tags, intercoms, remote fobs, or smartphone apps. Integration enhances security and allows for better monitoring of entry and exit activity.
What type of maintenance do automated gates require?
Automated gates should be inspected and serviced regularly to ensure smooth operation. This includes lubricating moving parts, checking sensors, tightening hardware, and testing the control systems. Many property managers opt for a preventative maintenance program to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
How do I know what type of automatic gate I need?
There are a variety of automatic gates, each with their own capabilities and features. Slide, bi-folding, swing, cantilever, and vertical pivot are different types of security gates, each with their own practical applications in both residential and commercial settings. Each of them also have options to customize depending on convenience, security, and functionality needs. Take a look at the different gates above and let us know how we can help you!
What is the largest type of automated gate?
Rolling slide gates are the largest and can close openings up to 200 feet wide!
How do automatic gates improve security?
Automatic gates strengthen perimeter security and improve overall security by managing access control for both pedestrians and vehicles. Crash-tested automatic gates are available for high-security needs as well.
What is vehicle and pedestrian access control?
Vehicle and pedestrian access control is a security system that grants/restricts access to vehicles and pedestrians wanting to enter or exit a specific area. It can include equipment such as gate operators, turnstiles, barriers, or other similar systems that require authorized personnel to gain access.
Where should automatic gates be used?
Automatic gates should be used at various entry/exit points within a facility or area. High-security gates are ideal for data centers, government, and military facilities, while less robust options are better for residential or commercial settings where pedestrian and vehicle access control needs to be established.
