Why Install an Electric Gate in St Albans?
Electric gates can increase the security of a property without significantly delaying the movement of authorised personnel or residents. An electric gate can be used in conjunction with other security devices to precisely control who accesses a property.
Electric gates are particularly useful when combined with other security products including:
Electric Gate Access Control Systems
Access control mechanisms can include wireless transmitters, access cards, digital keypads and identification scanners. When combined with an electric gate, they provide a high level of security without substantially slowing access for authorised users.
Electric Gate Video Surveillance Systems
Video surveillance systems can be used to view and record the identities of people attempting to access the property. Paired with an electric gate, video surveillance can be used to remotely grant access to authorised personnel or residents.
Electric Gate Intercom systems
An intercom system is also very useful when working in conjunction with an electric gate and a video surveillance system.
Electric Gate Emergency Access Systems
Automated systems can be added to give emergency vehicles access to your property in the event of an accident or fire. Some of the tools used to accomplish this include automatic siren detectors, emergency light detectors and radio receivers that work with the two-way radios in emergency vehicles.
For private residences, an electric gate can also improve the aesthetic of your home

For busy commercial or industrial properties in St Albans, an electric gate can help deal with a high volume of vehicles entering or exiting a location. When combined with other security mechanisms, it is the best way to ensure a secured area stays under your control.
There are thousands of burglaries committed in the Hertfordshire each year, which makes the necessity of strong security measures around your property very clear. There were 422 incidences of a burglary reported in Hertfordshire for the month of August (2015) alone. In the year leading up to August 2015, there were 7069 incidences of a burglary reported to police.
Not only will electric gates reduce the risk of a burglary being committed on your property, it will also reduce the risk of other trespass-related crimes including arson and vandalism.
Types of Electric Gates Installed in St Albans
We have installed a wide variety of electric gates in Hertfordshire including:
Sliding electric gates
The most commonly used type of electric gate. The gate door simply slides horizontally to form the gate opening. Suitable for most types of installations, slide gates normally use rollers that make contact with the ground.
Cantilever electric gates
Similar to a sliding gate, however instead of using rollers on the section of the gate that opens, a cantilever gate is supported by rails that run along the inside of the fence. The section part of the gate that opens “hangs” and does not touch the ground. This can be a useful feature in installations where it is impossible to use rollers on the gate opening.
Swing Electric Gates
This type of gate swings inwards like an opening door.
Electric Barrier Arm Gates
This type of gate simply uses a barrier arm that is rotated out of the gate opening. A common sight in parking garages, the electric barrier arm gate is useful for installations that do not have much horizontal space. A vertical pivot lift gate functions in a similar way, with the pivot located near the ground to swing the entire gate.
Vertical Lift Electric Gates
The gate is simply moved upwards on rails. This form of gates useful for installations with limited horizontal space or other restrictions that prevent the use of rollers.
Bifold Electric Gates
These gates use two panels that contain folding hinges. The gate opens in a similar fashion to bifold doors in a home. They do not require much space for installation.
