Expert Answers from a Gate Installer
Who handles the power and conduits for the gate?
Your electrical contractor (EC) provides the main power. We coordinate all trenching and conduit routes with your site team and EC, and our team installs all low-voltage wiring for loops, safety devices, and access controls. This coordination ensures proper power requirements are met and all systems integrate seamlessly.
What brands of operators and access controls do you install?
We’re brand agnostic and service all major brands. We select the right operator and access control equipment based on the gate’s size, weight, duty cycle, and site power, not based on a preferred brand. Ask about specific gate opener brands and gate motor options that best suit your application.
Can you meet our project's aggressive schedule?
Yes. Our in-house fabrication and project management let us size crews, stage hardware locally, and phase deliveries to hit critical milestones. We’re built to support demanding construction schedules. We provide realistic project timeline estimates and maintain open communication throughout installation.
Do you service the gates you install?
Yes. We’re a single, accountable partner. We build it, we install it, and our in-house technicians support it with planned maintenance and 24/7 emergency service. Our warranty-backed service includes troubleshooting, diagnosing issues, and replacing components as needed.
Can you match our existing fence or architectural style?
Yes. Our in-house fabrication team can design and build custom gates that seamlessly match your existing perimeter or architectural theme, whether it’s ornamental iron, chain link, or a custom laser-cut design. We customize every detail to ensure aesthetic consistency across your property.
Do you install the access control systems as well?
Yes. We are a full-service integrator. We install and program keypads, card readers, telephone entry systems, and safety loops, ensuring your gate and access controls work together perfectly from day one. This includes gate intercoms, gate transmitters, gate receivers, and smart wireless systems for complete visitor management.
What happens if the power goes out?
All of our automated gate systems are designed with manual release mechanisms or battery backup options to ensure you can always open the gate during a power outage or emergency. We can also upgrade existing systems with enhanced backup power solutions.
Are your gates compliant with safety codes?
Absolutely. We design every automated gate system to meet UL 325 and ASTM F2200 safety standards. This includes installing all necessary safety devices like photo eyes and sensing edges to prevent accidents and liability. Our OSHA-compliant installation process and safety-certified technicians ensure every project meets or exceeds code requirements.
How do you handle high-traffic or heavy-duty applications?
We specify heavy-duty, continuous-duty operators for high-traffic sites like distribution centers and HOA entries. We select equipment that is rated for the specific weight and cycle count of your gate to ensure longevity. Our engineers assess your traffic patterns and recommend the appropriate gate lifespan and maintenance frequency for optimal performance.
Can you retrofit automation onto an existing manual gate?
In many cases, yes. We can assess your current gate to see if it is structurally sound enough for automation. If it is, we can retrofit operators and safety devices. If not, we can fabricate a new gate that matches the old style but is built for automation. We inspect the existing structure, diagnose any issues, and provide honest recommendations on whether to upgrade or replace.
Advanced Access Control & CCTV Integration
Your gate’s security is only as strong as its access system. We design and install complete access control and CCTV solutions, from simple keypads to cloud-based management platforms. Our smart, wireless systems provide remote monitoring and control for enhanced security and convenience.
Seamless Security & Convenience
From keypad and card-reader setups to advanced cloud-based control, we integrate factory-certified access systems. We can manage new access control design, cloud configuration, and the programming of keypads, proximity fobs, or mobile-app access. Our manufacturer-authorized technicians install gate intercoms, gate remote controls, and visitor management systems that improve tenant experience and employee convenience.
Eyes on Your Perimeter
Pairing gate automation with CCTV monitoring gives you documented footage of every visitor. Our technicians can install high-definition IP cameras, NVR solutions, and remote viewing software that ties into your gate operations. This integrated approach addresses security concerns while meeting insurance requirements for commercial properties.
