The problem

A perimeter is only as good as the point where it opens. Sites that move people and vehicles all day need access that is fast when it should be and closed when it should not, without a queue at the gate.

How it works

We design and install a range to suit the site, from schools to factories and distribution yards: one person at a time through a turnstile, or a fleet of HGVs through a sliding gate. Safety and compliance are designed in from the survey onwards, controls tie into your access control system, and the whole thing can be monitored out of hours by our monitoring station.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you maintain existing gates?
Yes - including force testing and safety upgrades on gates installed by others.
What happens in a power cut?
Systems are specified with manual release and, where required, battery back-up so the site is never locked in.
Can deliveries get in without staff?
Yes. Intercom, ANPR and scheduled access can all release the gate under agreed conditions.

In their words

  • I would like to express my gratitude for the prompt and effective resolution of the recent software issues. The speed with which the matter was addressed, and the professionalism shown throughout, kept disruption to a minimum. My thanks also to Maciek, whose expertise and knowledge were invaluable.

  • I have been quite particular in some of the location criteria and the team have worked to provide the best solution that works for us but also makes sure the system works to its best ability. They have been professional, polite & hard working, communicated really well and are a credit to the company.
    Paul Morris, Director · Utility Retail
  • I've got nothing but praise for the guys doing the install. They were very thorough, helpful and very understanding of what was happening around them, particularly in the Manchester store where there were customers constantly coming in and out of the store.
