Many people associate automatic gates with wheels. Cantilever gates are an alternative system, where the entrance is held in place by 2 carriages. No tracks are required.

Boom gates are an excellent choice for those wanting to control traffic, while electric gates like swing gates and rapid roller doors are best for prohibiting unwanted pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic.

We carry garage doors from DITEC and (ET Door). We have garage doors for both residential and commercial use.

You have several options to choose from. Our ProxLock automatic gate openers are a standalone solution, where individuals may gain access by swiping a tag across the unit. Up to 2000 tags may be stored at any one time.

If you prefer a keypad solution, we carry the W1 system, a vandal-resistant unit that accepts up to 2000 users and provides entry by using PIN codes and/or proximity cards.

The following Australian regulations are applicable to automatic access control:

• Australian Standard AS5007 “Powered doors for pedestrian access and egress”.
• Australian Standard AS1428 “Design for access and mobility, Part 1”.
• The Building Code of Australia (BCA), clauses D2.19 and D.2.21.
• The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), which refers to the BCA and AS1428.

Australian Standard AS5007 requires your automatic entrance to be inspected and maintained at least every four months. The building owner or agent is responsible for your automatic entrances’ maintenance and operation. (Applicable to shopfront doors only)

These requirements should be adhered to, or accidents may occur due to electrical or mechanical failure, for which the building owner may be liable.

Regarding other forms of automation, it is advised to service at regular intervals, depending on duty cycle (daily operation).
