Beyond the Gate: Access Control and Smart Integration

A gate motor is often just the starting point. We also design and install:

• Video Intercom Systems — see and speak to visitors before granting access, with remote smartphone answering.
• Access control — RFID cards, keypads, fingerprint readers and app-based control, for single-family homes up to multi-tenant apartment complexes managing dozens of residents.
• Automatic Traffic and Boom Barriers — for car parks, estates and commercial premises needing controlled vehicle access.
• Roller Shutter Automation — motorised control for garage doors, workshops and storage shutters.
• Solar-powered gate systems — for properties dealing with frequent outages or no reliable grid access at all.
