Intercom systems are typically used and seen in offices or blocks of flats. They are an excellent automated gate option for those that require a superior security method to keep the establishment protected and unharmed.
Intercoms allow staff members, property owners and residents to push a button to obtain contact with the property. They can directly speak to those in charge of the building, and they will allow them access.
Proximity cards are also seen as fobs or tags that many put onto lanyards around their necks. These provide individual users access to certain high-level rooms, buildings or through front doors; once set, they often include a unique ID number or QR code.
The sensor or reader machine attached to the gate or wall will process this code or number and allow a person access to the room or property.
Such forms of security are often utilised for offices and establishment properties, educational buildings like universities and colleges, etc.
Vehicle detection is used in numerous locations and has a variety of useful functions that allow admission and additional safety.
Often installed systems have sensors capable of detecting a transmitter inside your or a vehicle. When the system detects that transmission, the gates will open and allow said vehicle access to the commercial premises.
These gate systems are specifically designed to ensure they never close on a person, obstruction or vehicle whilst on the way in. If you find your car is struggling to enter, it won't close on you if granted access via the signal.

Commercial vs Residential Security Gates
Residential and commercial facilities often have differing access control needs and perimeters; therefore, our company provides a broad range of gate types. Generally, there tend to be stricter requirements for commercial property, and they often have a higher traffic flow volume than the average home.
Therefore, most commercial security gates have to react fast for productivity purposes; they also must be far easier to operate than residential gates for driveways. Many security gates for businesses are made from aluminium; its lightweight yet durable nature is also favoured for its corrosion-resistant properties.
They are less prone to wear than various other materials, so your maintenance costs will often stay low without fearing that your system will compromise its service and security levels.

Space & Opening Size
It's vital to understand there are different types of gates that utilise large spaces in a wide range of manners; for example, many can move upwards, some swing forwards, and others slide out. When considering the space and opening size you require, it's best to consider the level and type of traffic your property expects.
If you're expecting delivery vans, moving vehicles and commercial trucks, we highly suggest a much larger opening so that vehicles can move in and out your gate safely.
Frequency & Speed
It would be best to aim to have your automatic gate installed and designed to keep any idling time to a limit, especially for businesses.
Doing so will improve productivity and speed up the pace of those moving in and out of your establishment if you regularly expect high traffic. You must also ensure your gates are durable enough to withstand the frequent use of rigours.
