Gates & Access Control

Gates are used in conjunction with a fence system by a variety of residential and business applications to provide and control access to particular areas. They play an important role in a security system.

• Swing gates – This style is available in double or single drive applications, and requires two gate operators (one for each side.)
• Cantilever gates – These gates use a counter-balance load bearing design to support the entire weight of the gate as it reaches across the entryway.
• Rolling gates – This style uses a wheel the support the weight on a v-track embedded in a driveway.

Questions

A number of factors must be considered during the initial design phase.

• How will the property be entered?
• What access control will be used – radio controlled, telephone entry, or card reader?
• How will people exit?
