Automated Gate Systems

Control who drives onto your property before they ever reach the front door.

Overview

The first layer of security starts at the driveway

An automated gate adds a controlled checkpoint at the edge of your property, whether that's a private residential driveway, a gated community entrance, or a commercial or industrial site. We design and install swing and slide gate operators paired with the entry method that fits how visitors and vehicles actually arrive.

Gates pair naturally with our access control and camera systems, so you can see and manage who's requesting entry before you let them in — right down to logging every vehicle on video.

  • Operator sized to your gate's weight, width, and daily usage
  • Entry method matched to residents, staff, and visitors alike
  • Safety sensors to help prevent the gate closing on a vehicle or person

Operator Types

Matched to the gate you already have (or want)

Swing operators

Arm-driven operators for single or double swing gates — the most common choice for residential driveways.

Slide operators

Track-mounted operators that slide a gate along a fence line — well suited to tight spaces or steep driveways where a swing arc won't fit.

Barrier arm gates

Lift-arm barriers for higher-traffic commercial lots, parking structures, and industrial yards where a full gate panel isn't necessary.

Entry Methods

How people (and vehicles) get through

Keypad & wireless remote

PIN codes for occasional visitors and vendors, wireless remotes (like a garage door clicker) for residents and staff who come and go often.

Credential & card access

The same card or fob used on interior doors can open the gate too — one credential, managed from one access control dashboard.

Mobile app entry

Open the gate remotely from your phone — useful for buzzing in a delivery or guest without walking down to the driveway.

Video intercom

See and talk to a visitor before deciding whether to open the gate — often paired directly with a camera at the entrance.

License plate recognition

Available as an add-on — automatically open the gate for recognized vehicles and log every plate that comes through.

Safety & Power

Built to keep the gate safe to use every day

Photo-eye sensors

Infrared beam sensors that stop the gate from closing if something is in its path.

Safety edge sensors

Pressure-sensitive edges on the gate itself that reverse the gate on contact.

Entrapment protection

Gate operators and safety devices selected with entrapment-protection standards in mind — always verify final compliance (e.g. UL 325) with your installer and local code before final sign-off.

Battery backup

Keeps the gate operational through a power outage, so you're not stuck locked in or out.

Solar power kits

Solar panel and battery kits for rural or farm gates far from a power source.

Manual release

A manual override so the gate can be opened by hand if the operator ever loses power entirely.

How It Integrates

Your gate as part of the bigger picture

Access Control
Cameras
Monitoring App

With access control

Use the same badge at the gate and every interior door, and set schedules so the gate only opens for staff during business hours.

With cameras

Every entry gets logged on video — useful for deliveries, visitor disputes, and simple peace of mind.

With the monitoring app

Open the gate remotely from the same app you already use for your alarm and access control.

Our Process

From driveway walkthrough to a working gate

1

Assess

Check gate weight, width, power access, and daily traffic.

2

Design

Pick the operator, entry method, and safety devices to fit.

3

Install

Operator, safety sensors, and entry hardware installed and tested.

4

Support

Ongoing service for adjustments, remotes, or seasonal upkeep.

FAQs

Gate system questions

Often, yes — it depends on gate weight, how often it cycles per day, and available sunlight. We'll assess this during the site visit for rural or off-grid properties.
With a battery backup installed, the gate keeps working through short outages. Every operator also has a manual release so it can be opened by hand if needed.
Yes — long driveways, farm entrances, and properties without easy power access are common projects for us, and often where solar options make the most sense.
Yes, when the gate is tied into an access control system — one credential can be set up to work at both.

Thinking about adding a gate?

We'll assess your driveway or entrance and recommend the right operator and entry method.
