- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
What it does
Gate access control manages who can drive or walk in through an automated gate — by intercom, fob, keypad, remote or number plate.
Most Swansea enquiries for this arrive after something went wrong — a break-in, a shared code that spread, or a door that was propped open for months. The system is the fix, but the survey is where it is decided properly.
Who we install it for in Swansea
Yards, depots, gated developments, farms, private drives and secure compounds.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
Included as standard
- Underground ducting and armoured cabling where needed
- Intercom or video panel on a gate post with weatherproof housing
- Long-range readers and vehicle remote handsets
- Safety edges, photocells and force testing to the machinery requirements
Questions worth asking any installer
- 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
How we deliver it
Nothing gets priced from a phone call. An engineer walks the doors, notes what is there, works out what has to change, and puts it in writing with the hardware named and the per-door cost shown. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
Commissioning is part of the job, not an extra visit. You finish with a working system, a tested fire interface, and a named person on your team who knows how to administer it.

Gate Access Control in Swansea — questions
Do you install gate access control in Swansea?
Yes. Swansea is part of our regular Wales 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 Swansea?
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.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
Do you work on systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair, service and extend all common makes of access control, door entry and intercom, whoever installed them. If a system is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so and show you the numbers for both options.
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.
