Security barriers installed throughout Leeds and Yorkshire

Although security barriers offer a highly effective way to control which vehicles have access to your business premises, it is important that you choose the most appropriate one for your location.

Automatic barriers and security gates are widely used to protect car parks, business premises and facilites. The perfect solution for locations where vehicles enter and exit a secure area, automatic gates are ideal for the majority of car parks, whilst electronic security gates can be used to control access on a vehicle by vehicle basis.

In most cases, security gates are installed at the entrance to a car park of facility, or in locations such as storage areas or loading bays. In addition, security gates also offer a useful way to safeguard individual blocks of parking bays within a larger car park.

Which security gate is best for you?

A range of different types of security gate are available and the majority are made from durable metal. Barrier gates are ideal for protecting car parks from unauthorised vehicles but because pedestrians are able to pass underneath, they aren’t ideal for areas where security is an issue. Swing gates are designed to swing open and closed just like a normal gate and are widely seen in domestic properties. They can also prove useful for business premises and will give effective protection from unauthorised vehicles and pedestrians alike. Folding gates are an ideal solution for areas where space is limited but because they open and close quickly, it is important that additional safety measures are used to prevent accidents.

Automatic security gates can be controlled in a range of ways, including digital keypads, card readers, intercom systems, vehicle tag readers and number plate recognition.
