Why Install an Automatic Entry System?
Automatic entry systems are ideal for properties that require frequent access control without the need for manual operation. These systems provide a seamless, hands-free way to manage entry and exit, making them especially beneficial for businesses, busy households, and properties with high traffic.
Here’s why an automatic entry system is a valuable investment:
- Convenience: Automatic entry systems eliminate the need for manual opening and closing, saving time and hassle. With options for remote operation or automated sensors, you can manage access effortlessly.
- Increased Security: Ensure that only authorised individuals or vehicles can enter your premises. With features like keypads, fobs, or even smartphone-controlled access, you have full control over who enters your property.
- Accessibility: For businesses, automatic doors provide ease of access for customers and employees, especially in retail environments or public buildings where accessibility is essential.
- Enhanced Property Value: Automatic gates and doors not only improve security but also enhance the appearance of your property, adding a touch of sophistication and increasing its overall value.
Our Range of Automatic Entry Systems
At Firsteye Installations, we offer a comprehensive range of automatic entry systems to suit a variety of needs. Whether you’re securing a residential driveway, a commercial building, or a large industrial site, we have the expertise to design and install the right system for you.
Our services include:
Automatic Gates
Secure and stylish, automatic gates are perfect for residential properties, business parks, and industrial sites. They offer a high level of security while providing ease of access for authorised users. We install a variety of gate types, including:
- Sliding Gates: Ideal for properties with limited space, sliding gates move horizontally, requiring less room to open and close. These gates are highly secure and are often used in commercial or industrial settings.
- Swing Gates: A popular choice for residential properties, swing gates provide an elegant entry solution. Available in single or double-leaf designs, they can be operated via remote control, keypad, or fob access.
- Rising Bollards and Barriers: For car parks or areas with frequent vehicle traffic, rising bollards or barriers offer an efficient way to control access. These systems are commonly used in commercial premises, industrial estates, or gated residential areas to prevent unauthorised vehicle entry.
Automatic Doors
Automatic doors are widely used in retail, hospitality, and office environments to provide ease of entry while maintaining security. We install various types of automatic doors, including:
- Sliding Doors: Ideal for businesses with high foot traffic, sliding doors open and close seamlessly, providing easy access for customers and staff. They are particularly suited for retail environments, hotels, and offices.
- Swing Doors: Automatic swing doors are perfect for properties that require both accessibility and security. They can be fitted with sensors, keypads, or push-button controls, making them ideal for public buildings, hospitals, and educational institutions.
- Revolving Doors: Commonly seen in large commercial buildings and hotels, revolving doors provide continuous access while maintaining climate control within the property. They enhance both the appearance and functionality of high-end premises.
Automatic Barriers and Vehicle Access Control
For properties that need to manage vehicle access, automatic barriers provide a highly effective solution. Whether you’re controlling access to a car park, an industrial site, or a private estate, we offer a range of vehicle access control systems, including:
- Rising Arm Barriers: Typically used in car parks and commercial premises, rising arm barriers are ideal for managing the flow of vehicles. They can be operated manually, by remote control, or integrated with access control systems for automated operation.
- Vehicle Bollards: Offering high security, automatic vehicle bollards are a popular choice for controlling access to driveways, loading bays, and high-security areas. These bollards rise and lower at the touch of a button or via remote access.
Integrated Access Control and Automation
One of the major benefits of installing an automatic entry system is the ability to integrate it with your wider security infrastructure. At Firsteye, we can link your automatic gates, doors, or barriers with access control systems, allowing you to manage entry using keypads, fobs, cards, or even smartphone apps. This provides an additional layer of security while offering seamless control over who can enter your property.
We also offer integration with CCTV systems, allowing you to monitor entry points in real time and receive alerts when unauthorised attempts to access your property occur.

Who Can Benefit from an Automatic Entry System?
Automatic entry systems are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of properties, including:
- Residential Properties: Secure your home and control access to your driveway with automatic gates or rising bollards. These systems add both security and convenience, allowing you to control entry with the touch of a button.
- Commercial Properties: Businesses with high footfall, such as shops, hotels, and offices, benefit greatly from automatic doors that provide a smooth, hands-free entry. For businesses needing vehicle access control, automatic barriers ensure only authorised vehicles can enter.

What are access control systems?
One of the most effective ways to achieve enhanced security is through a door access control systems. These systems offer a sophisticated solution to safeguarding entry points, allowing only authorised individuals to gain access. Not only are they suitable for installation in commercial properties, offices and business premises, but they are also becoming increasingly popular with homeowners and in settings such as residential care homes, nurseries and schools.
At its core, a door access control system is a mechanism that uses electronic means to regulate who can enter a building or specific areas within it. Instead of traditional keys, which can be easily duplicated or lost, these systems often employ smart cards, key fobs, or biometric data like fingerprints or facial recognition. This not only enhances security but also provides a record of who has entered or exited the premises, and at what time.
The Advantages of Door Access Control

The benefits of controlled access systems are manifold. Firstly, they eliminate the risk associated with lost or stolen keys. If a key card is misplaced, it can be swiftly deactivated, ensuring that security isn’t compromised. Secondly, they offer a higher level of customisation. For instance, businesses can set different access levels for employees based on their roles. A manager might have access to all areas, while a junior staff member might only be able to enter specific zones. This ensures that sensitive areas remain protected.
In addition, the latest door access control systems can be integrated with other security systems. For example, they can be linked to CCTV systems, allowing for real-time monitoring of entry points. They can also be connected to alarm systems, triggering alerts if there’s an unauthorised attempt to access a restricted area.
