Commercial Automatic Gate Systems
Commercial automatic gates systems are not only designed to provide controlled access but also designed to keep people from getting out. For example, prisons have multi-level automatic gate systems for take-ins, visitors, and parolees. Gated communities often install automatic gate systems to control access and exit as well.
Most often, commercial automatic gate systems utilize heavy-duty magnetic locks with electric strikes. Access control can be managed in a variety of ways:
- Security guards
- Cards
- Keypads
- Proximity devices
- Keys
Free Exit Systems
Free exit systems make exiting the premises user-friendly, such as those installed at storage facilities and underground parking. There are several types of automatic gate system designs to meet every conceivable application. While they offer free exit, the entrance can be controlled in a number of different ways.
- By attendant
- Magnetic Cards
- Remote attendant
- Keypads
- Biometrics
The cost of these units will be determined by the type of access/exit strategies you wish to install. If you choose to install swing gates, you need to consider the cost-effectiveness. Businesses that benefit most from these types of free exit systems include subdivisions, residential communities (gated), and apartment complexes, as well as commercial and industrial entities. Costs will vary greatly based on the size gates you install as well as the number of cameras, telephone systems, or radio controls associated with the system. R&S Erection of Concord will help you design the most cost-effective automatic gate system that is right for you.
There are various types of free exit systems available, such as:
- Swing arms
- Swing gates– single swing & dual swing
- Rolling gates – single slide and dual slide

From driveway sensors to rolling gates to swing gates, the biggest factor in deciding what type of automatic gate system is right for you is your budget. Residential automatic gate systems can be controlled and monitored in various ways as well:
- By keypad – each person gets their own unique code
