What Gate Access Control is
Gate access control manages who can drive or walk in through an automated gate — by intercom, fob, keypad, remote or number plate.
The Dundee sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.
Who asks for it in Dundee
Yards, depots, gated developments, farms, private drives and secure compounds.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
- Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
What a proper install includes
- Long-range readers and vehicle remote handsets
- Safety edges, photocells and force testing to the machinery requirements
- Free-exit loops or exit readers
Getting the specification right
- A keypad on a gate post takes a beating; specify a metal vandal-resistant unit
- Plan the visitor path: couriers should not need to ring the house
- Powered gates are machinery — insist on a documented safety risk assessment
Survey, quote, install
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.

Gate Access Control in Dundee — questions
Do you install gate access control in Dundee?
Yes. Dundee is part of our regular Scotland coverage and gate access control is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does gate access control cost in Dundee?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
Are automated gates covered by safety regulations?
Yes. A powered gate is machinery and must be risk-assessed, force-tested and fitted with appropriate safety devices. Any competent installer will produce that documentation as standard.
Can I open the gate from my phone?
Yes. App-based control and video calling to a mobile are standard on modern gate intercoms, provided there is a usable signal or network at the gate.
Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?
On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.
Can lost fobs be cancelled?
Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.
Can I answer the door entry from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.
