Access Control and Security Features
Modern automatic gates need strong security features to protect your property. We install comprehensive systems that give you control over who enters and when.
Remote-Controlled Gates and Access
We equip your gates with reliable remote-control systems that work from inside your vehicle. Our remotes function at distances up to 100 feet, allowing you to open your gate before reaching it. This eliminates waiting at your entrance.
We offer various access options including:
- Keypad entry systems with customizable PIN codes
- Smartphone integration for control from anywhere
- Key fob transmitters that fit on keychains
- Vehicle detection sensors for automatic opening
The systems we install can store multiple unique access codes, letting you give different people specific access times. This is perfect for service providers who only need temporary entry to your property.
Integrated Safety Features
Safety remains our top priority when installing automatic gates. We incorporate multiple safeguards to prevent accidents and ensure reliable operation. Every gate we install includes:
- Photo eye sensors that detect objects or people in the gate's path
- Pressure sensors that reverse gate movement when resistance is detected
- Warning sounds and lights during operation
- Manual release mechanisms for power outages
These safety features meet industry standards and local regulations. We position sensors at different heights to detect both vehicles and smaller objects that might be in harm's way.
Our systems also include auto-stop and reverse functions that activate instantly when obstacles are detected.
Gate Intercom and Security Systems
We enhance your gate's security with advanced intercom and monitoring capabilities. Our intercom systems let you communicate with visitors before granting access.
Options we provide include:
- Video intercom systems with night vision capabilities
- Wireless intercoms with multiple indoor stations
- Integration with existing home security systems
- Visitor logs that track entry times and access points
Many of our systems connect to WiFi, allowing you to answer your gate from anywhere using your smartphone. This means you can grant access even when you're not home.
For additional security, we install cameras that monitor your entrance area. These can be viewed remotely and often include motion detection with alert notifications.
