Buyers Guide

Purchasing the right security system to match your specific needs can be a challenge and there are many things for you to consider. We have therefore taken the opportunity of listing below some of the key questions you need to ask before making a decision to purchase. 

• What are the basic reasons for you installing a system?
• What is the anticipated level of usage such as how many vehicles require access on a daily basis?
• Who is to be given authorised access?
• Is the system to operate on a 24-hour basis or just evenings or overnight?
• How is the gate to open – towards your property or outwards?
• Do you want to speak to or view visitors before you give them access?
• What happens in the event of a power failure?
• Do you want to override the system if the gate or rising bollard is damaged?
• Do you need to consider any building work that may be needed such as piers, ducts & driveway alterations before installation can commence as this may inflate the cost?
• Is an electricity supply available or does it need to be installed?
• Do you want your system to ‘add value’ to the look of your property?
