Automation
Inground Motor (24V or 230V)
Electro mechanical Inground motors are designed for swing gates up to 3.5m wide or 500kg – making them suitable for most openings. As the names suggests, these motors are positioned in the ground, and sit flush directly beneath the gates hinges. Inground motors are discreet, clean and have a minimal impact on the aesthetic of the gate.
Inground motors can be manually overridden in an emergency using a key provided after installation.
Hydraulic Rams
Hydraulic rams are devices which are surface mounted to the rear of the gate, typically 1/2-1/3 way up the gate from the ground. Historically, hydraulic rams where preferred for moving some of the heaviest gates leaves, however with technological advancements in recent years, some Electro-Mechanical Rams are capable of operating heavy gates just as well as hydraulic rams.
To manually override the ram, simply place the key in the top of the ram and turn as instructed – releasing the mechanism.
Electro-Mechanical Rams
Electro Mechanical Rams are much like the Hydraulic rams – surface mounted to the rear of the gate leaf – typically 1/2-1/3 of the way up the gate from the ground. Rams are typically used on larger swing gates, or where environmental factors mean the inground motor isn’t appropriate.
Using a key, these rams can be manually overridden. The key hole is located at the top of the ram as shown in the image.
Sliding Gate Motor
Suitable for both ground track & cantilever sliding gates, these motors work via ‘Rack & Pinion’ system. The motor, which holds the pinion, is secured to the ground and located within the compound. The rack is located at the bottom of the sliding gate.
In the event of maintenance or failure, the user can override the motor by using a key and pulling out the lever located at the bottom of the motor.
Access Control
Vandal resistant intercom panel
This intercom is a hardy and versatile unit, making it ideal for public, repeated use in a busy entrance – either for pedestrians and drivers alike.
This unit is designed with Paxton Net2 software in mind, a PC based system that can seamlessly control access control over the entire site. As a result, this intercom will need Cat5e cabling.
The unit includes a fob reader, call button with video camera and a keypad. Intercom can either surface mounted or flush.
Modular intercom panel
The modular intercom has several benefits. Firstly, the frame allows for different modules to be swapped in and out, so the intercom only get the modules that it needs.
Secondly, the cost is greatly reduced. This is partly because isn’t a PC based access control, but instead can run on a two wires. One for power, the other for the audio/video transmission. If upgrading an existing intercom, legacy wires maybe suitable to be reused – reducing costs further.
Push to exit (PTE) button
Quick release button designed for use on exits. typically set back on a separate post for easy pedestrian access. Works with Maglocks, CISA locks and electric strike locks. PTE buttons can also be used to release an automated gate.
Contactless Push to exit (PTE) button
Used in the same scenarios as the Push to exit button, this is a contactless option for a more hygienic approach.
Proximity Keypad
A proximity reader with an integrated numerical keypad. Can be setup as a standalone reader or as part of a Paxton Net2 network.
Proximity readers
ideal for controlling and monitoring access to a single door/gate. multiple units can be installed on site with different levels of authorisation.
Audio intercoms
A simple audio intercom with a call buttons and a keypad. multiple call buttons can be added for calling different areas of the property.
Cable Control
Armoured loop
A weatherproof, reinforced cable route designed to run cables between two moving objects (i.e. the gate leaf & post) designed to mitigate wear and tear.
Cabinets
High quality, weatherproof enclosures designed to house electrical equipment for the automated gate. Cabinets are positioned near gate in question, on the secure side.
Electric Locks
Hold-open Maglocks
Hold-open maglocks are designed to secure a gate leaf in the open position. the maglock is located on a separate post, and the matching magnet is located on the end of the gate leaf. The Hold-open maglocks will switch off (releasing the gate leaf) once the motors get a signal to close the gate again.
This is ideal method of securing large gate leaves whilst taking the stain off the Rams or Inground Motors.
Rising Arm Barrier – Maglocks
Rising arm barriers can be reinforced with a maglock – preventing the rising arm being forced up. Custom receiver posts are built to help the magnet locate the maglock every single time.
Electro-magnetic locks
Electro-magnetic locks is a very popular lock solution. Paired with an armature plate, the maglock will secure the gate in the shut position with ample force. Depending on the size of the gate and the clients’ security needs, additional maglocks can be added to a gate to increase hold strength.
CISA Electrika
commonly found on our automated swing gates, these locks work on a rotary hook deadbolt, with a tensile strength of up to 2000kg. these can be released electronically, and has an integrated key override.
Electric Strike Lock
Electric strike work with most surface mounted locks. This latch works in conjunction with access control systems to release the lock. In the event of power failure the lock can be pre-configured to fail-open or fail-close.
Ground Works
Thermoplastic line marking
Road markings are very important – from denoting parking spaces, boundaries & hazards etc. With the finishing of any groundworks ,we can install line marking to what they once where, as well as any new line markings.
Speed Bumps
These devices are ideal for controlling traffic speeds on your property. speed bumps can be made bespoke to each site.
Ground Loop
A ground loop is a common device used to automatically operate a gate ( typically by a vehicle that is trying to leave the site) without the need for any other form of access control. in essence, it is a metal detector hidden in the ground that can detect the presence of a vehicle – and open the the gate as a result.
Ground sockets (for dropbolts)
Grounds sockets are small devices inserted flush into the ground, designed to secure dropbolts whilst being designed for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Manual Locks
Digilock
Surface mounted lock with a mechanical digit keypad – complete with handle & deadlock. Ideal for external gates where multiple users need access at different times of the day. This lock an come with a quick release on one side, or a double sided Digilock.
This lock can also be installed with an Electric strike lock (see electric locks) so the Digilock can work in conduction with access control.
Compact insert lock
Ideal for when surface mounted locks are not suitable. Self latching bolt with a deadlock for security.
Lockable Dropbolts
Galvanised lockable dropbolts designed to secure the gate leaf into the gate to prevent the gate from swinging.
Lockable Slide Bolt
lockable slide bolts are an idea, low cost solution for gates with limited use. padlocks can be fitted either end of the slide bolt prevent the slide bolt from opening. These locks can be installed on either single of double leaf set of swing gates.
Mesh Mounting systems
Mesh mounting clips
Mesh clips are a fast and flexible way of securing mesh panels to posts. At Securafit we only use metal clips for increased durability. Depending on the height of the Mesh panel with determine how many clips are used.
Tethers
A safety strap designed to catch the gate in the event of catastrophic failure.
Reader Posts
Reader posts are small posts that are installed as a pair, and are set back from the gate in a parallel line. these posts have photobeams mounted on them, prevent the gate from operating should the beams be tripped. they primarily stop a vehicle from approaching too close when the gate is in operation.
Flashing beacon
A visual cue that the gate is about to start, or is in operation. Beacons are positioned on top of the gate post and are connected to access control systems.
Photo beams
optical tripwires that prevents the gate from operating any further if it detects an obstruction. all automated gates with come with at least one pair.
Safety Edge
These are soft rubber strips mounted onto the leading edge of a gate/barrier that can detect any obstructions it comes into contact with. This is an ideal last line of defence for a gate.
Light Curtain
similar to the photo beam, this device produces an optical plane that prevents the gate from operating when it detects an obstruction.
Semi-auto Closers
Built-in Closer
At Securafit, we have designed our own Built-in Closers into our pedestrian gates to help keep your property secure. Once the gate is opened, the closer will gently bring the gate leaf back to the shut position.
