​

ENTRANCE GATES
Automated entrance gates come in a wide range of configurations and specifications. Whether for vehicle access control, perimeter security, or commercial premises, every system we provide is bespoke designed and manufactured to suit the exact site dimensions, operational needs, and usage requirements.
Automation systems are central to every installation. With over 40 years of industry experience, we are certified installers of all leading brands, including CAME, BFT, FADINI, NICE, DEA, TELGUARD, BPT, VIDEX, PARKING FACILITIES, ULTIMATION, EAGLE, and PAXTON. As proud members of the DHF, we ensure every system meets the latest safety and compliance standards, with installations completed in line with current legislation and industry best practice
Security is paramount. Knowing that your gates and doors are securely closed and locked provides complete peace of mind. We offer a range of integrated security enhancements, including magnetic locks, electric strikes, and automated bollards, to further strengthen perimeter protection and control site access.
COMMERCIAL
From securing warehouse yards with automated gates and roller shutters to installing traffic barriers for office and commercial car parks, we deliver tailored solutions for a wide range of applications. Our systems are designed to enhance site security, improve traffic flow, and provide reliable access control for staff, visitors, and deliveries. Every installation is bespoke combining durability, performance, and compliance to ensure long-term safety and efficiency across your premises.
Automated traffic barriers and bollards provide an effective solution for managing and securing car parks, private roads, and restricted areas. When integrated with intercom systems and access control technology, they allow full control over vehicle and pedestrian entry, ensuring only authorised access at all times. We design and install complete systems that combine practicality, security, and reliability — helping businesses manage total site security with ease and confidence.
Roller shutters play a vital role in a building’s overall security, and ensuring they operate safely and reliably is essential. Our specialist shutter engineers are fully trained to carry out all aspects of repair, servicing, and preventative maintenance. Each engineer holds a DHF Industrial Door Certification and an IPAF licence, ensuring every job is completed to the highest industry standards and in full compliance with current safety regulations.
Ensuring your automated systems remain fully compliant with current health and safety standards is essential. We provide annual, six-monthly, or quarterly maintenance services, including force testing and comprehensive risk assessmentson all types of automated equipment — from vehicle gates and roller shutters to traffic barriers and automated doors. Our planned maintenance packages help keep your systems safe, reliable, and operating in accordance with the latest regulations.
SCHOOLS
We specialise in securing the perimeters of schools, colleges, and university campuses across the education sector. All our engineers are DBS certified, ensuring safe and compliant work within sensitive environments. We currently support over 250 educational sites nationwide, maintaining and servicing their automated vehicle gates, roller shutters, traffic barriers, automated doors, access control systems, and intercoms to keep every campus secure and operational.
In today’s society, child safety is paramount. Safeguarding must always take priority, ensuring that only authorised and verified personnel can access car parks, buildings, or even specific areas within a site. With modern access control, intercom, and gate automation technology, schools can now manage every entry point with confidence — whether that’s limiting access to staff-only zones, securing main entrances during teaching hours, or monitoring visitor arrivals. Our tailored systems give schools and facility managers full control over who enters and when, providing a crucial layer of security and reassurance for pupils, parents, and staff alike.

SPORTS CLUBS
From golf, tennis, and football clubs to gyms, leisure centres, and race tracks, we provide tailored security and access solutions for the sports and leisure industry. Our systems help venues control entry to car parks, facilities, and restricted areas — ensuring smooth member and visitor access while maintaining a secure environment. Whether it’s automated gates and barriers, roller shutters, or integrated access control systems, we design and install solutions that combine safety, efficiency, and convenience for both staff and guests.
Securing car parks with traffic barriers, bollards, or automated gates provides the first line of defence in protecting and controlling vehicle access. For pedestrian areas, turnstiles and access-controlled doors can be installed to manage entry into walkways and buildings, ensuring only authorised personnel and visitors can gain access. Together, these systems create a fully integrated approach to site security and safety.
Paxton access control offers a secure, convenient, flexible and cost-effective way of controlling who has access to your building and when that access is allowed.
All businesses have to protect assets and employees whilst allowing people to move freely in the areas that they need. It is common in buildings that are secured by locks and keys for doors to be left unlocked all day.
This opens up the possibility of opportunist theft and malicious damage.
Installing an access control system means that you will never have to change a lock again. Tokens are issued to allow access through the controlled doors and are easily barred from the system if they are lost or stolen.
Maintenance service contracts are vital to not only comply with your requirements to keep the equipment in a safe working condition but also help prevent future breakdowns. Preventative works are always more cost effective than reactive ones.
