If you are thinking of gate automation for a property, SAL provides you with professional and experienced installer advice. We have been installing gate automation for over 10 years in private houses, schools, farms, factory sites and housing developments.

Important aspects to consider before purchasing gate automation: 

Opening Method: Do you require a swing gate or sliding gate?

Useage: 24v or mains powered? 

Entry/Exit: Zapper in/out, inductive loop exit, linked to door entry, traffic light system? 

Suitable Gate Design: Wooden, Metal, Swing. Sliding?

The list goes on but for SAL it’s all in a days work, so before any system is installed it is essential a survey is carried to determine the right system is designed and installed. With pretty much everything we do cost is always a primary consideration; however with gate automation SAFETY comes first. Gate automation installed by amateurs is dangerous and carries very high risks.

SAFETY for the Installers

Below is a brief overview of how we approach your enquiry and installation, which begins with a further note on safety.

The automatic gate, barrier and entranceway industry in the UK is becoming increasingly concerned with safety & for very good reason. Numerous unfortunate, avoidable accidents have made headlines in the past 5 years.

We believe that the CAMESAFE Certificate is the only comprehensive accreditation covering the application of the Machinery Directive and EN Standards in relation to gate and barrier automation. 

"The CAMESAFE Installer Certificate is a new accreditation for all installers of gate and barrier automation systems. Designed around meeting the UK safety laws in relation to automated entranceways, the certificate provides a real understanding of the requirements and enables individuals and companies a new level of automation safety". (Came, http://www.cameuk.com, 2014).
