3 Reason to Use Automated Access Gates

When you own or run a small business, it can be easier to know who is on your site and where they are. However, as your company grows into a larger entity, it can be a lot harder to keep track of access. Larger numbers of employees and visitors inevitably can lead to confusion and an opportunity for undesirable elements. Restricting access at this point is the first line of defence in beefing up security and having a better idea of who is actually on your premises. A common solution seen at many sites are manual or more commonly automated access gates. Australia based businesses have taken to using automated gates in large numbers and here are three good reasons why you may consider joining them.

1. Increasing Safety and Security:

As we have already mentioned, this is probably the single greatest reason to install an access gate. It defines an access point, and it’s a declaration of intent that says "this area is for authorized people only" and that is a powerful statement. A criminal is far less likely to wander onto a site that has fences and/or access gates. The geared motors on an automatic access gate are very difficult to damage and hard to force open.

2. An Added Convenience:

The employees at your site want to know that their cars are safe whilst they are working. Visitors also like to feel safe and increased security lets them know that they are dealing with a professional business. However, this goodwill can be undone if the access gate is a pain to use and causes unnecessary delays. This is typically the case with manual access gates that need a person to operate them. A manual gate may be a good option in a high security setting or government installation where identification is scrutinized, but for most businesses that would be overkill. A better option is an automatic access gate that can be easily used by authorized personnel and overridden remotely for visitors.

3. Increased Durability:

Automated access gates are usually made from aluminium or stainless steel. They are strong and extremely resistant to environmental damage and corrosion. The gearing is well protected from criminals, and this also protects the internal components from the elements. Automated access gates don’t break down very often, they last a long time, and they represent an excellent investment in the future security of your business.
