Biometric access control uses unique physical characteristics to grant entry. Fingerprint scanners, retinal scanners, and facial recognition technology offer virtually impossible-to-duplicate security measures.
We install and configure systems that store hundreds of unique identifiers. These systems work quickly, usually authenticating users in less than a second.
The technology has become more affordable and reliable in recent years. Our biometric solutions can be integrated with your existing security infrastructure for a seamless experience.
Weather-resistant options are available for outdoor gates and entrances. We also provide regular maintenance to ensure your biometric readers remain accurate and responsive over time.

Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems use PIN codes, cards, or fobs to grant access to your property.We offer programmable keypads that allow you to create temporary access codes for visitors or service providers. These codes can be set to expire after a specific time or number of uses.
Our keyless systems can track who enters and when, creating a digital log of all access events. This feature is particularly valuable for business owners monitoring employee arrivals.
Installation is straightforward, and battery backups ensure your system works even during power outages. Most of our keyless options can be retrofitted to existing gates without complete replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the typical factors that affect the cost of repairing an automatic gate?
The cost of automatic gate repairs depends on several key factors. The type and age of your gate system significantly impact repair costs, with older or more specialized systems often requiring more expensive parts.
The specific component that needs repair also affects pricing. Motors and control boards typically cost more than simple hinges or wheels.
Labor costs vary based on repair complexity and time required. Emergency services or after-hours repairs will generally come with premium pricing.
How can you identify and troubleshoot common automatic gate issues?
If your gate stops working, first check the power supply and batteries. Power interruptions are one of the most common causes of gate failures.
Listen for unusual noises during operation which may indicate mechanical problems with hinges, wheels, or motors. Grinding or scraping sounds usually point to alignment issues or worn parts.
Check the remote controls and keypads by replacing batteries or testing with alternative entry methods. If the gate moves slowly or inconsistently, this often indicates motor problems or obstructions in the track.
What are the key features of an effective automatic gate system?
Reliable motors and operators form the backbone of any quality gate system. Look for systems with proven durability in various weather conditions.
Comprehensive safety features should include obstacle detection, automatic reversal, and manual release mechanisms for power outages.
Versatile access control options give you flexibility in how you or your visitors enter. These might include keypads, card readers, remote controls, and smartphone integration.
Proper gate construction materials matter for longevity and security. Choose materials suited to your climate and security needs.
How often do automatic gate systems require professional maintenance?
Most automatic gate systems benefit from professional maintenance every 6-12 months. Climate conditions may necessitate more frequent checks in areas with extreme weather.
Between professional visits, you should visually inspect your gate monthly for signs of wear, loose connections, or alignment issues.
We recommend scheduling maintenance before seasons with extreme weather. This preventive approach helps avoid breakdowns during challenging conditions when repairs might be more difficult.

Access control systems create accountability by tracking who enters your property and when. This audit trail proves invaluable for security reviews and investigations.
You can implement different access levels for various personnel, restricting sensitive areas to only authorized individuals.
