1.8m High x 1.2m Wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Single Leaf Gate Kit

1.8m High x 1.2m Wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Single Leaf Gate Kit

This 1.8m high by 1.2m wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 Single Leaf Gate Kit is the definitive solution for creating a secure personnel access point within a certified acoustic fencing perimeter. It has been meticulously engineered to ensure that the access point does not become a vulnerability, offering the same high standards of performance as the main fence line. Perfectly matched to the 1.8m high AcoustiGuard® fencing, this gate provides a seamless and consistent barrier, making it an essential component for sites where both security and noise control are paramount. The kit provides a complete, integrated solution, supplied with the fully assembled gate leaf, a robust hinge post, and an equally strong catch post. This ensures that every component is specified to work in harmony, delivering a fully compliant and exceptionally durable access point right out of the box.

Understanding the LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) Security Certification

Choosing a product with third-party certification provides undeniable proof of its capabilities. This AcoustiGuard® Gate is not just rated for security; it is formally tested and certified to the Loss Prevention Standard LPS 1175, holding the SR1 (A1) rating. This is one of the most respected physical security standards in the UK, governed by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB). The SR1 (A1) rating signifies that the complete gate system, including its leaf, posts, and locking points, can successfully withstand a sustained and determined attack for a minimum of 60 seconds from an intruder using a range of common, concealable hand tools. This test simulates an opportunistic attack, providing a realistic measure of the gate's ability to act as a robust first line of defence. The immense strength required to achieve this standard is derived from its core construction: a galvanised steel gate frame provides the foundational rigidity, while the heavy-duty 100x100x3mm hinge and catch posts ensure the gate cannot be easily forced or manipulated. This certification provides critical assurance that the gate will perform under pressure, delaying intruders and providing a vital window for a security response.

Understanding BS EN 1793 Acoustic Compliance

Beyond its physical strength, this gate is engineered as a high-performance acoustic barrier, fully compliant with the BS EN 1793 standard. This European standard specifically measures the performance of devices used to reduce road traffic noise, making it the benchmark for acoustic fencing and gates. Compliance means the gate is proven to reduce the amount of sound that passes through it, helping to create a quieter, more peaceful environment on the other side. This is achieved through intelligent material selection and construction. The specification of a "Tanalised UC4 Timber (Acoustic Face)" indicates that the gate's surface is not just a simple wooden panel; it is an engineered component designed to manage sound waves. The high mass of the combined steel and timber construction is crucial for sound insulation, as it requires more energy for sound waves to vibrate and pass through the structure. This ensures that the gate maintains the acoustic integrity of the entire fence line, preventing sound leakage and upholding the quiet environment it is designed to protect.

Superior Materials & Engineering

The longevity and reliable performance of this gate are guaranteed by the premium materials used in its construction. The internal frame is made from galvanised steel, a material chosen for its immense strength and superior corrosion resistance. The galvanisation process provides a tough, durable coating that protects the steel from rust, ensuring the gate's structural core remains strong for decades. The external face is constructed from Tanalised UC4 timber. The UC4 rating is a critical feature, signifying that the timber has been pressure-treated to the highest level, making it suitable for permanent contact with the ground and providing maximum protection against rot and insect attack. This ensures the acoustic face remains both effective and aesthetically pleasing for its entire service life. The kit is supplied with dedicated hinge and catch posts, both sized at a substantial 100x100x3mm, which are designed for a secure 'Dig In' fixing method, providing unparalleled stability when anchored into the ground.
