Automatic Gate Systems for Residential Applications

Quality and reliability

Over 20 years specialisation goes into every gate and barrier system designed and installed by the Atlas Group using equipment from both the high quality range manufactured by Ceda, our Italian partner, and our own products.

Our systems use 'state-of-the-art' products which combine high quality and reliability with professional performance at a competitive price. They comply with all relevant UK and EC standards and are approved and used by many national and international companies as well as local authorities and other public organisations.

Service excellence

Our high quality products are backed up by real customer service. We like our engineers to work in partnership with our customers to provide help and guidance on the most effective and efficient use of Atlas equipment.

Safety first

Safety is a very serious issue and as a matter of policy we assess the risk of every installation and put forward appropriate safety measures. All installations are inspected by a qualified technician and certified safe when operated in accordance with our instructions. We are not aware of a single accident involving our equipment.

Staying ahead

Our long experience means we have a deep understanding of the design and installation requirements of access control systems and this has enabled us to develop innovative equipment such as the Jo-Line advanced technology barrier that is helping to make our systems even more safe and reliable.

But innovation is never pursued at the expense of performance and reliability which is backed by a 'peace of mind' maintenance programme which includes free component loan during any workshop repairs and a priority call out service.

DESIGNING THE SYSTEM FOR YOU

Automatic gate systems need to be carefully planned and expertly installed to ensure they will give you very many years of reliable service under all weather conditions.

Before we visit you to talk through what system would be most suitable you should consider all the points mentioned on the previous page so that these can be discussed with our surveyor and taken into account in the system design and costing.

Our systems can be fitted to existing gates or new gates. They can swing, slide and have one or more leafs with activation equipment fitted to the gate or underground.

Remember also that existing piers may require modification, an electrical supply will be needed as may alterations to the driveway. In a conservation area, or for installation on a listed building planning permission may well be required.

Following acceptance of our quotation it is policy that you will deal with just one person who will be responsible for seeing that our engineers carry out the work as scheduled and to your satisfaction.

We won't give you sample prices because every installation is different. So if you would like to know more about fitting automatic gates just give us a call and ask for a FREE QUOTE - you may be pleasantly surprised at how affordable they are.

Private Residence

Worplesdon, Guildford, Surrey

"Security with style" was demanded for this important project. Aesthetic concerns had to be fused with the requirement for a high level of security.

A pair of 70mm thick hardwood gates, 2 metres high and 6 metres wide were designed and manufactured by our carpenters. Operated by industrial quality underground actuators, the gates are secured in the closed position by magnetic locks and a drop bolt. Entry is controlled by remote radio transmitters and an intercom with digital keypad. Automatic exit is provided by an underground vehicle detector loop. In the event of mains failure or other emergency, a power back-up system will maintain operation of the gates.

This arrangement may appear to be a typical residential solution but in practice each project is planned for an individual client and no two installations prove to be identical.

Luxury Apartments

Maidenhead, Berkshire

This prestigious development by the river Thames in an exclusive district of Maidenhead was plagued by unauthorised parking.

We designed and installed Ram operated swing gates with free access and exit during quiet times via underground detector loops. At other times the gates are locked shut. Access is controlled by remote radio transmitter and by entryphone communication with visitors from each household using the public telephone system. This arrangement reduced disruption and inconvenience and saved money. During the hours of darkness, exit is by automatic underground loop detector.

Residents can be confi dent that their visitors will be able to park conveniently. As a bonus the improved security has helped protect against vandalism and crime.

The five points to consider before installing an automatic gate

1. System design: Why automatic access?

Is the main concern control or protection, traffic/parking abuse, convenience, privacy, safety, investment etc. The reason for purchase has major implications upon the design of the system and its associated controls.

2. Equipment selection:

Is appearance a major consideration or is ruggedness an overriding factor? How much will the system be used and by whom - a few individuals or multiple users? Usage considerations affect the type of operators and the choice of associated control and safety systems.

3. Emergency provision:

What will happen in the event of an emergency - will people be trapped? System overrides need to be thought about in the event of a power failure and power back-up or an easy to use manual override is essential.

4. Individual site considerations:

Do any special environmental considerations apply in the area? For example on an exposed coastal site wind resistance might affect performance or in some areas vandalism can be a problem.

5. Safety and reliability:

On average, a staggering 10 people per annum die and 750 are injured in UK homes due to poor electrical installations. Part P (electrical safety) of the Building Regulations must be followed if electrical work is being carried out in a home or garden. Our installers are registered as competent and have been assessed to ensure they operate to the high standards required by Part P. Non-compliance carries serious penalties and may cause difficulty when a property is being sold.
