Although manual swing gates operate without motors, they can still form an important part of a wider access control or site security system, working seamlessly with locks, intercoms, and monitoring equipment to manage authorised entry.
- Locking Systems – Gates can be fitted with padlock and hasp, drop-bolts, or key-operated locks that restrict access when the gate is closed. For shared or commercial sites, coded locks or keyed-alike systems can simplify management.
- Intercom Integration – A wired or wireless intercom positioned at the entry point allows visitors to request access from inside the premises, enhancing control without the need for full automation.
- Access-Control Compatibility – Manual gates can incorporate magnetic locks, RFID card readers, or keypads that link to existing site access systems. These components release manually once authorised.
- Future Automation Ready – Gates from Aremco Barriers are designed with automation compatibility, allowing a smooth upgrade to electrically operated systems later without replacing the structure.
- Monitoring & Safety – Gates can include reflective markings, CCTV coverage, and warning signage as part of a complete security strategy.
At Aremco Barriers, all UK-manufactured manual swing gates are made from heavy-duty galvanised and powder-coated steel, with design options that allow integration with locks, intercoms, bollards, or access-control software — providing a secure, scalable, and future-proof access solution.
