A Brand New Electric Automated Gate

Secure21 ltd was commissioned by a client to design and install a brand-new electric swing gate for their property.

The goal was to provide a modern, secure, and visually appealing entrance that combined durability with cutting-edge automation. The gate was to be constructed from high-quality powder-coated steel with composite cladding and equipped with state-of-the-art brushless arm automation and a safe-by-design gate hinge.

The challenge

This project involved several challenges that required a tailored solution:

  1. Aesthetic and Durability: The client required a gate that was not only secure and robust but also complemented their property’s contemporary design.
  2. Safety Compliance: The installation needed to incorporate advanced safety features to ensure compliance with the latest regulations and provide peace of mind.
  3. Reliability: The client wanted a long-lasting automation system that operated efficiently and required minimal maintenance.
  4. Integration of Materials: The use of powder-coated steel and composite cladding required precise manufacturing and installation to achieve a seamless and visually appealing finish.

Installation

The installation process was carried out meticulously to ensure a high-quality and hassle-free result:

  1. Custom Fabrication: The gate was fabricated off-site using powder-coated steel and composite cladding, ensuring a perfect finish and precise measurements.
  2. On-Site Preparation: The gate posts were securely installed, and the foundation work was completed to accommodate the brushless arm motors and wiring.
  3. Safe Hinge Integration: The safe-by-design gate hinges were installed, ensuring no pinch or trap hazards while maintaining smooth operation.
  4. Automation Setup: The brushless arm motors were mounted and connected to a smart control unit, allowing operation via remote control and GSM intercom.
