What we do
Gates, barriers and access control from one specialist
We fabricate the metalwork, install the automation, wire the controls and maintain the system afterwards. One team is responsible from the first survey to every service visit, so there is always one number to call.
Automated gates
Swing, sliding, cantilever and bi-folding electric gates for driveways, yards and industrial entrances, specified for how often they open. We also automate existing gates.
Automated gates
Servicing and repairs
Planned maintenance and reactive call-outs on any make of gate, barrier, bollard or access system, with same day emergency response.

Aftercare
Maintenance for your gate, whoever installed it
Installation is only the start. A powered gate needs regular servicing to stay safe and reliable, and we maintain systems of any make and any age, including those installed by other companies.
- Any make, any age. CAME, FAAC, BFT, Nice, Beninca, DEA, Roger Technology, Locinox and many others.
- No contract needed for a repair. Call us, describe the fault and we will arrange a visit.
- Same day emergency response where a gate is unsafe or blocking access.
- A documented job report after every visit, recording what was done and what is needed next.
