Controlled Access

Protect the perimeter.
Keep your site moving.

From busy distribution centres to staff car parks, EVICK supplies and supports access systems that balance security with efficient movement.

Every site is different. We consider opening size, traffic volume, operating speed, pedestrian interaction, wind exposure, ground conditions and access-control requirements before specifying the equipment.

Solutions can be configured for new developments, existing entrances and upgrades to ageing gate or barrier systems.

Our Solutions

Access systems built around your site.

Sliding Gates

A strong choice for wide entrances where the gate can travel parallel with the boundary. Suitable for frequent vehicle movements and higher-security sites.

Swing Gates

Single or paired leaves for sites with suitable arc space. Available with tailored infill, controls and safety protection.

Traffic Barriers

Fast, visible vehicle control for car parks, service yards and managed entrances, with optional skirts and traffic-light control.

Turnstiles & Pedestrian Access

Controlled personnel access for secure compounds, construction sites and industrial premises.

Car Park Barriers

Fast control for busy entrances.

Automatic rising-arm barriers provide efficient control without the larger footprint of a full gate. They can be configured for staff parking, visitor entry, commercial yards and controlled lanes.

  • Adjustable operating speed to suit traffic flow
  • Full or half skirts to improve visibility and deter pedestrians
  • Safety edges, photocells and manual override options
  • Flashing beacons, audible warnings and traffic lights
  • Integration with ANPR, fobs, keypads, intercoms and loops

Automatic Gates

A robust perimeter security solution.

Automatic gates help restrict unauthorised access and protect property from trespass, theft and vandalism. Steel sliding and swing designs can be manufactured to suit the entrance, boundary and required level of security.

Powerful motor and gearbox systems provide dependable operation, while correctly selected safety devices monitor the gate’s movement. Manual release arrangements allow authorised operation during a power or control failure.

Designed as a complete system. Gate leaf, supporting structure, drive, controls and safety equipment must work together—not as isolated components.

Pedestrian Security

Manage people as well as vehicles.

Vehicle access is only one part of a secure perimeter. Full-height turnstiles, pedestrian gates and controlled entry points can create a joined-up solution for staff, contractors and visitors.

Specify the Right System

Gate, barrier or combined access?

The answer depends on how the entrance is used—not just its width.

01

Sliding Gate

Best where strong perimeter closure is required and sufficient run-back space is available alongside the boundary.

02

Swing Gate

Suited to lower or moderate traffic where the site has a clear, level swing arc and appropriate setback.

03

Rising Barrier

Ideal for fast vehicle control where visual deterrence and lane management matter more than full perimeter closure.

04

Combined System

A barrier manages daytime traffic while a security gate closes the perimeter outside operating hours.

From Survey to Support

A complete project approach.

01

Survey

Assess the entrance, usage, ground, services, hazards and security objectives.

02

Specify

Select suitable equipment, controls, safety devices and access integrations.

03

Install

Coordinate civil, electrical and mechanical work around the operating site.

04

Commission

Test operation and safety functions, then provide handover information.

05

Maintain

Support ongoing reliability through planned servicing and responsive repair.

Maintenance & Repairs

Security equipment must be ready when you need it.

Routine inspection helps identify wear, impact damage, deteriorating fixings, control faults and safety-device issues before they cause a breakdown. EVICK can support standalone entrances or multiple systems across a wider estate.

Planned servicingMaintenance structured around equipment and usage.
Repairs & upgradesPractical restoration or modernisation of existing systems.
Emergency supportResponsive assistance when access or security is compromised.
Questions

Automatic gate and barrier FAQs.

Which type of automatic gate is best for my site?

The choice depends on space, traffic, security, ground conditions and required opening speed. A site survey lets us recommend the most practical arrangement.

Can the system work with our existing access control?

Often, yes. Compatibility is checked before work begins. Options include intercoms, keypads, fobs, ANPR, remote controls, induction loops and other authorised interfaces.

Do automatic gates need regular maintenance?

Yes. Planned checks help ensure the structure, drive system, controls and safety devices remain in suitable condition and operate correctly.

Can EVICK repair or upgrade an existing installation?

Yes. We can assess many existing gates and barriers and recommend repair, safety improvements, control upgrades or replacement where appropriate.
