Access Control

Not necessarily. It is possible to retrofit an existing gate with automation features, allowing you to enhance your property’s security without the need for a complete replacement. During the retrofit process, an estimator will perform a site visit to discuss all the technical details of the installation and determine if your existing gate and its condition will qualify for automation. This process is essential in ensuring that the new access control solution integrates seamlessly with your current setup, effectively enhancing its functionality.

Incorporating access control into your gate system can significantly improve your security posture by providing physical access control tailored to your specific needs. There are various types of access control systems available, ranging from keypad entry and RFID systems to biometric scanners, each designed to control access and restrict entry based on established access control policies. These policies help define who is granted access to different areas of your facility, thereby reducing the likelihood of unauthorized entry and mitigating potential security risks. By retrofitting your existing gate with an automated access control solution, you can better manage and control access to your property, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter while enhancing overall site safety.
