If you are wondering whether your home or business needs an automated gate, AST London can assure you that the answer is “yes”! That’s not just our opinion either. Automated gate installations are widely recognised as one of the most important parts of an effective access control and security solution. Just consider these benefits of automated gates:

Why You Need Automated Gates

Automated gate systems are essential to your home or business’s security for the following reasons:

  • Enhanced security: Automatic gates provide enhanced security, keeping you, your property and your family or staff much safer than manual gates can. Since they can be operated remotely from inside the building or one of your vehicles, there is a reduced risk of authorised people being threatened or compromised, as they might be if they have to physically open the gate. Unauthorised people are blocked from entry completely, and are prevented from simply opening the gate manually to gain entry.
  • Greater convenience: Because manual operation is eliminated, opening an automated gate is easier and more convenient.
  • Increased property values: An automated gate is a value-added feature that boosts the overall value of a property. It adds a sense of luxury and sophistication and makes a property more attractive to a potential buyer.
  • Less maintenance: Automated gates require less maintenance than manual gates. They are thus more robust and cost-effective.
  • Improved accessibility and control: Automated gates make your property simultaneously more accessible and more secure – more accessible to those who are authorised, and less accessible to those who are not. The reason for this is that they offer the owners and other people on the property more control over who can and cannot get into the property. Added accessibility features, such as keyless entry systems, can be added to make it even easier for authorised individuals to enter and exit, while also keeping better control over the passage of visitors into and out of the property.
