Are Electric Gates as Secure as Manual Gates?

Posted on by Egon

Electric gates can offer you a great deal of convenience in terms of their operation, which can be a big selling point for many. But is it possible for them to be as highly secure as robust, heavyweight manual gates? In many ways, it is. You can still have automatic gates that will work as manual gates as well - there is just the added bonus of being able to use them with a remote control so you don't have to get out of your car. Some automatic gates are very large and heavy indeed, and you would not be able to get manual gates of this size or stature, in which case they will be highly secure.

The only time when you may have some concerns is if you want to link your automatic gates up to a WiFi home system. Make sure your network is completely secure and consult with a professional first.

Linking Doors up to your General Home Safety Systems

Posted on by Egon
Automatic doors, like garage doors and roller shutter doors, might operate well as part of an overall home safety system. Whilst these kinds of appliances are by and large for entering and exiting a building, they are also part of your overall security, and their importance in this area should never be underestimated. After all, the door is the main way in which a burglar or intruder would gain access, so a high quality door is going to help prevent this. When thinking of the best ways to secure and protect your property, it is always helpful to think of a wider system and look at things as a whole. If you have things like alarm systems and window retractable bars in place, then your safety automatic doors should also be a part of this system. You can link everything up to Wi-Fi to help them operate as one central protective unit.

Posted on by Egon
A door for a factory, warehouse or even an office space will often have automated entry procedures to help speed up entrance and make it more secure. Often in a warehouse, there will be lots of valuable stock, and it is especially important to keep all of this safe with fully operational doors. This is one of the key benefits of an automatic door - it will open up quickly and will lock into place, open or shut, so that you know you can rely on it to be completely safe. It's also useful if time is of the essence. You might need quick entry into a warehouse or storage facility, or you might need to get into an office building efficiently and easily. An automatic door can help. You can opt for sophisticated technology such as automatic opening when a person is detected, or finger print opening systems.

Gate Systems for Entry Control

Posted on by Egon
Businesses and housing estates will often have the need for entry control systems, making sure unauthorised people cannot gain access. This will usually mean the installation of a system to monitor who is coming in and out, and to allow authorised people safe, easy access. Often security systems will come in the form of electric gates. The gates will swing open and shut, locking securely into place when closed. They can usually be operated by putting in a pin code, or by using a remote control. Some gates may open automatically to let in cars, though these will provide less of a security function. Think about installing gates that also use a camera system to monitor traffic and people. This will give you added security and can also register car number plates to see who is going in and out. You will find gates like these operate as excellent entry control systems.
