Discover The Must-Have Accessories For Commercial Gates! Enhance Security, Convenience, And Style With These Essential Tools

Are you tired of constantly worrying about the security of your commercial property? You need to ensure that your gates are equipped with essential accessories that not only enhance security but also provide convenience.

Imagine this scenario: It’s late at night, and a delivery truck arrives at your facility. The driver needs access to the premises, but without proper gate control systems in place, it becomes a time-consuming process. However, with the right keypads and intercom systems installed on your commercial gates, you can grant access to authorized individuals promptly and efficiently.

Not only will this save time for both you and your visitors, but it will also enhance the overall security of your property by allowing you to screen anyone requesting entry.

In this article, we will explore other essential accessories such as safety sensors, gate locks, security cameras, and remote control systems that are crucial for ensuring the utmost protection for your commercial gates.

Key Takeaways

  • Keypads and intercom systems provide convenient and secure access control for commercial gates.
  • Safety sensors add an extra layer of security by detecting potential dangers and preventing accidents.
  • Gate locks, especially smart locks, offer advanced features and remote control options for enhanced security.
  • Security cameras provide real-time monitoring and surveillance, deterring potential criminals and ensuring peace of mind.

Keypads and Intercom Systems

Don’t overlook the convenience and peace of mind that keypads and intercom systems bring to your commercial gate setup. These essential accessories allow you to control access to your property from a distance, enhancing security and providing a seamless experience for visitors.

When considering installation, it’s important to choose a system that is easy to set up and compatible with your existing gate infrastructure. Look for keypads and intercoms that offer user-friendly interfaces and straightforward programming options.

Before we move on, keep in mind that integrating keypads and intercom systems into your commercial gate not only enhances convenience but also strengthens the overall security of your property. Safety sensors will be discussed in the next section.

Safety Sensors

Safety sensors are essential accessories for commercial gates, providing an added layer of security. These sensors utilize wireless technology to constantly detect potential dangers, such as objects or people in the gate’s path. By preventing accidents and damage, safety sensors ensure the well-being of both your property and those who pass through your gates.

In addition to their detection capabilities, safety sensors also come equipped with an emergency stop feature. This feature allows you to immediately halt the gate’s movement in case of emergencies, providing peace of mind and ensuring quick response times. With safety sensors, you can rest assured that the safety and security of your premises are prioritized.

Now, let’s move on to another important accessory: gate locks…

Gate Locks

Gate locks are a must-have accessory for commercial gates. Smart locks offer advanced features and enhanced security. With these locks, you can control access to your property remotely, allowing authorized individuals in and keeping intruders out. The access control feature enables you to grant or revoke access codes or key cards at any time, ensuring only trusted personnel can enter. Smart locks also provide real-time notifications when someone attempts unauthorized entry, giving you immediate alerts and allowing you to take necessary action. Investing in gate locks enhances the security of your property and gives you complete control over who enters your premises.

Now that we have covered gate locks, let’s move on to the next important accessory: security cameras.

Security Cameras

One of the best ways to enhance property security is by installing security cameras. These cameras provide real-time monitoring and surveillance, which plays a crucial role in deterring potential criminals and ensuring the safety of your commercial gate.

With advanced technology, security cameras now offer high-definition video quality and wide-angle coverage. This allows you to keep an eye on your property remotely, providing peace of mind even when you’re away.

Moreover, some security cameras come with access control features. These features enable you to grant or deny entry remotely, adding an extra layer of protection to your gates.

By investing in these essential accessories, you can ensure the security of your property and belongings.

Moving forward into the topic of remote control systems…

Remote Control Systems

Remote control systems are a convenient and user-friendly way to manage and control your property’s security from anywhere. These essential accessories provide seamless access control and enhance the overall efficiency of your commercial gates.

Here are five reasons why you should consider incorporating remote control systems into your security setup:

  • Ease of use: With wireless technology, you can operate your gates with just a click of a button.

  • Convenience: No need to physically approach the gate every time, as you can open or close it remotely.

  • Enhanced security: Remote control systems provide an added layer of protection by allowing only authorized individuals to access your property.

  • Time-saving: Managing multiple gates becomes effortless with one central remote control system.

  • Flexibility: You have the flexibility to grant or revoke access remotely, ensuring maximum security at all times.

Investing in a reliable remote control system will not only streamline your security measures but also give you peace of mind knowing that your property is well-protected.

Conclusion

In conclusion, when it comes to commercial gates, it’s crucial to invest in essential accessories that enhance security and convenience.

Keypads and intercom systems allow for easy access control, while safety sensors ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.

Gate locks provide an extra layer of protection against unauthorized entry, and security cameras offer constant surveillance.

Lastly, remote control systems enable effortless operation from a distance.

Remember, ‘Don’t lock the gate after the horse has bolted’ – prioritize these accessories now to avoid regrets later!

Great to work with a supplier that actually bids a job, completes it on time and on budget. Terry and his crew were a pleasure to deal with and installed a great product on a very challenging area. Would definitely recommend and use again

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

I called Terry to help with a damaged gate and masonry column. He came out the same day to help diagnose the issue and offered a sensible solution. He got the gate system repaired quickly and I was back up and running. I will definitely be calling Terry in the future. Thank you,

Excellent door and gate company. I would give them 10 stars. I had extremely tight tolerances and Terry and his crew engineered the gate down to the inch. Top of the line materials and great service. Highly recommend.

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
