Electric Gate
Access Control.
Professional electric gate access control across Hampshire, including keypads, intercoms, remotes, fobs, GSM access and video entry systems for automated driveway gates.
Access Control That Suits How You Use the Gate
Electric gate access control decides who can open the gate, how visitors gain entry, and how the entrance works day to day. The right setup should be practical, reliable and matched to the way the property is used.
A private driveway may only need remotes and a keypad. A larger property may benefit from an intercom, GSM access, video entry or smart access system.
We install access control as part of new electric gate systems, electric gate installations and suitable gate automation upgrades.
Common Electric Gate Access Control Systems
Different systems suit different entrances. We help specify the right option based on security, convenience, visitor access, signal strength, cabling and daily use.
Keypads
Code-based entry for family, trusted visitors, tradespeople or deliveries.
Intercoms
Audio or video communication before opening the gate for visitors.
GSM Access
Phone-based access where mobile signal and user requirements suit the system.
Remotes
Simple day-to-day gate control from vehicles using remotes or fobs.
Simple, Reliable Access for Daily Use
The best access control system depends on who needs entry, how often the gate is used, how deliveries are handled, whether visitors need to speak to the house, and whether cabling or mobile signal is suitable.
Access control should also work properly with the gate automation and safety setup. A badly specified system can make an otherwise good electric gate frustrating to use.
Access Control Should Work With the Whole Gate System
Access control is not separate from the gate system. Keypads, intercoms, remotes, GSM systems and video entry should be specified with the motors, control panel, photocells, safety edges and commissioning in mind.
We follow HSE powered gate safety guidance when specifying and installing automated gate systems. You can also read our electric gate safety guide.
