Gate Access
Open your gate, screen visitors, and manage entry without leaving the house or losing a delivery.
What Goes Wrong
Fitting a call unit or keypad without checking the control panel often means the gate trigger never works reliably.
The gate’s control panel, wiring terminals, and opener type are confirmed before any access hardware is specified.
A wireless intercom placed without a signal assessment can drop calls or fail to trigger the gate in wet weather.
Signal strength and power supply are tested at the entrance before a wired or wireless route is recommended.
An audio-only unit fitted to a busy road entrance leaves the householder unable to see who is requesting entry.
The property type, road position, and number of users determine whether audio, video, keypad, or fob access is specified.
Wiring added without a cable route survey can leave surface runs that are vulnerable to damage and look unfinished.
Trench depth, conduit route, and entry points are agreed at survey so wiring is concealed and carried out to 18th Edition standards.
System Options
From a single call button to a full video and fob setup, the right combination depends on your entrance and how many people need independent access.
A call button at the gate connects to a handset inside, letting you speak to a visitor and trigger the gate opener without moving.
A camera built into the call unit lets you see and speak to a visitor on a screen or app before the gate moves, useful on busier roads.
A coded keypad at the entrance lets authorised users open the gate without a fob or handset, reducing key management for rental or shared sites.
Paired fobs trigger the gate opener from inside a vehicle, so the gate opens before the car reaches the entrance.
Access hardware wired directly to your existing gate control panel.
Mains supply and voltage confirmed before hardware is fitted.
Cable route or signal path assessed and agreed at survey.
Call quality, gate trigger, and fob range tested before handover.
Why Choose Us
We connect Rayleigh homeowners and property managers with vetted local installers who survey, specify, and fit the right access system for the entrance.
A local installer visits the entrance first, so the system specified matches the gate, power supply, and cable route.
Every access system is specified to DHF and Gate Safe standards, covering safety and integration requirements.
All electrical work is carried out to 18th Edition wiring regulations, with no shortcuts on cable routes or terminations.
The control panel and gate opener are checked before fitting, so the intercom or keypad integrates without extra remedial work.
Groundwork, wiring, hardware, and testing are quoted together so there are no separate invoices or gaps in accountability.
