Our Wide Range of Security Gate & Barrier Solutions
Phantom Communications offers a diverse selection of security gates and barriers, ensuring we can provide the perfect solution for your specific site and operational needs.
Automatic Security Gates
Swing Gates: A classic and effective solution, available as single or double leaf, suitable for various entrance widths.
Sliding Gates: Ideal for sites where space for a swing gate is limited. We offer tracked options or cantilever systems, which are perfect for uneven ground or high-traffic areas, and their adoption is increasing in high-traffic commercial areas.
Cantilever Gates: These gates require no ground track, making them an excellent choice for busy entrances or where the ground surface is challenging.
Vehicle Security Barriers (Rising Arm Barriers)
Perfect for controlling vehicle access to car parks, site entrances, and restricted zones. Rising arm barriers offer fast operation, essential for managing high traffic flow, and can be customised with various boom lengths, skirts, and lighting.
Bollards (Security & Traffic Management)
Whether you need static, telescopic (retractable), or fully automatic bollards, these provide reliable protection against vehicle impact or can be used to effectively manage traffic flow within your site.
Turnstiles (Pedestrian Access Control)
For efficiently managing pedestrian entry and exit, we offer both waist-height and full-height turnstiles. These are often integrated with card readers, biometric systems, or other access control methods.
Manual Gates & Barriers
A cost-effective and reliable solution for areas with lower traffic volumes or where a powered system isn't necessary.
Gate & Barrier Materials and Finishes
We use durable materials like steel and aluminium, with options for powder coating and various infills, ensuring your gates and barriers are not only secure and long-lasting but also aesthetically suitable for your premises.
Why Invest in Competent Security Gates & Barriers for Your Business?
Considering an upgrade to your perimeter security? Here’s why competent security gates and barriers are a smart move for any forward-thinking UK business.
Strengthened Perimeter Security & Deterrence
Let's be clear, a well-installed security gate or barrier is a powerful visual deterrent. It sends a clear message that your premises are protected, significantly reducing the risk of opportunistic crime. This is vital when you consider that in 2024, 26% of all business premises in England and Wales were victims of crimes like theft or vandalism. A strong perimeter can make all the difference.
Controlled Vehicle & Pedestrian Access
Managing the flow of vehicles and people onto your site is key to both security and operational efficiency. Our systems allow you to precisely control who enters and exits, preventing unauthorised vehicle access to car parks, loading bays, or sensitive areas. This is particularly important for commercial properties like warehouses and logistics centres, which are frequent targets if perimeter security is weak.
Improved Site Safety & Compliance
Beyond security, controlled access also means improved safety. By managing vehicle movement, especially in busy industrial environments, you can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. All our installations are designed to comply with UK health and safety regulations, including crucial HSE guidelines for powered gates, ensuring peace of mind.
Protection of Assets & Staff
Your business assets, from stock and equipment to data and infrastructure, are valuable. Security gates and barriers provide a strong physical shield, guarding these assets. Importantly, they also contribute to a safer working environment for your employees, letting them focus on their work without undue worry.
Integration with Your Overall Security Strategy
Physical barriers are even more effective when they work in harmony with your other security measures. Our gates and barriers can be seamlessly integrated with access control systems, CCTV, and intruder alarms, creating a complete, layered security solution. This integration allows for 24/7 monitoring and rapid response to incidents.
Key Features & Technologies for Your Gate & Barrier Systems
Modern security gates and barriers are more than just physical obstacles, in fact they are intelligent systems.
Access Control Integration
Operate your gates and barriers seamlessly using a variety of methods: key fobs, proximity cards, keypads, intercom systems, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), or long-range readers for ultimate convenience.
Advanced Safety Features (Our Top Priority)
Safety is non-negotiable. All our installations strictly adhere to UK safety standards (like BS EN 12453 and Gate Safe recommendations). This includes vital components such as photocells (safety beams), sensitive safety edges, clear warning lights, audible alarms, and force limitation technology to prevent accidents.
CCTV & Intercom System Integration
Level up your security by integrating CCTV to monitor and record activity at your entry and exit points, and intercoms to allow for easy visitor verification.
Durable & Weather-Resistant Construction
Our gates and barriers are built to withstand the unpredictable UK weather, ensuring reliable operation and longevity for your investment. There's also a growing shift towards eco-friendly and energy-efficient gate systems, which we can discuss.
