When Are Commercial Gates Needed?
Commercial gates are needed when you require enhanced security for your property or want to restrict access to authorised personnel only. They are crucial for protecting assets, controlling entry points, and deterring trespassers.
Gates can be equipped with various access control systems such as keypads, card readers, or biometric scanners, ensuring only authorised personnel can enter. Depending on the location and security needs, we offer different materials, including steel and aluminium, which conform to safety standards such as BS EN 13241 for industrial doors and gates.

How Does Commercial Gate Installation Work?
The process of installing commercial gates is streamlined into several key steps:
Consultation: We assess your specific needs during an on-site survey, considering factors like site access, security requirements, and regulatory compliance such as BS EN 12453.
Design: We tailor a gate solution that fits your property’s requirements, incorporating elements such as automated systems, material choice (aluminium, galvanized steel), and finish (powder coating or galvanisation for corrosion resistance).
Fabrication: We manufacture the gates using durable materials, ensuring they meet the specific load and usage demands of commercial environments.
Installation: Our skilled team installs the gates efficiently and safely, following industry standards like ISO 9001 for quality management and ensuring all electrical components are securely fitted.
Testing: We ensure proper operation and security by conducting a series of functional tests, including alignment and motor efficiency checks, guaranteeing the gates perform as intended.
Our structured process ensures that each gate we install meets high specifications and safety standards, providing resilience and reliability. Contact us today to discuss your commercial gate requirements.
How Long Does Commercial Gate Installation Take?
Most commercial gate installations, including automation, take three to five days to complete. This timeframe depends on the complexity and size of the gate system.
The process begins with a site survey, where we assess your specific needs, measure dimensions and discuss options such as sliding, swing, or bi-folding gates. During installation, we use precise alignment techniques and secure mounting systems to ensure durability and reliability.
After the main installation, we integrate any automation features, testing safety systems like photocells and loop detectors. These features help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety standards such as the Machinery Directive.
Once installed, our gates require minimal maintenance, though regular checks on electrical connections, gate alignment, and hinges ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Who Needs Commercial Gates?
Commercial gates are essential for businesses and public-sector entities looking to secure their premises. These gates play a crucial role in providing controlled access and enhancing security.
Industries that benefit include manufacturing plants, where security is necessary to protect valuable machinery, and storage facilities that need to safeguard inventory from theft. Business parks often require electronic access control systems, such as swipe card or keypad entry, to manage tenant and visitor entry efficiently.
Educational institutions use commercial gates to ensure student safety and restrict unauthorised access, while healthcare facilities need them to secure sensitive areas and manage flow effectively. Construction sites can also benefit from temporary commercial gates to secure work areas and equipment.
Our solutions cater to different access requirements and environmental conditions. Contact us to secure your property with our gate solutions.
How Much Do Commercial Gates Cost?
Commercial gates typically cost from £2,500 to £7,000 per installation. The price varies based on gate type, material, automation features, and installation complexity.
For instance, sliding gates often require more robust motors and tracks compared to swing gates, impacting the overall cost. Materials like aluminium and steel also differ in expense, with aluminium offering a lighter, rust-resistant option and steel providing added durability.
Automation features such as remote access control, intercom systems, and safety sensors can also influence pricing. Installation complexity, including the need for groundwork or bespoke engineering for uneven terrain, can affect costs as well.
