Whether you need a simple keypad for your driveway gate or a fully automated barrier system, we can design a solution that fits your space and requirements.

What We Can Help With

Access Control FAQs

What is an access control system? +

It’s a way to manage who can come in and out of your property — using keypads, fobs, mobile apps, or intercoms.

Can I open my gate from my phone? +

Yes! Many of our systems can connect to your mobile so you can open and close gates remotely.

Do I need new gates to have automation? +

Not always. If your existing gates are in good condition, we can often automate them.

Which access control system is right for me? +

That depends on your setup. We’ll talk through your options — whether that’s a basic remote system or something more advanced like ANPR.
