1.8m High x 2.0m Wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Double Leaf Gate Kit

1.8m High x 2.0m Wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) LPS 1175 Double Leaf Gate Kit

The 1.8m High x 2.0m Wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 (A1) Double Leaf Gate Kit offers a sophisticated solution for properties and facilities requiring both high security and effective noise reduction. Combining cutting-edge security certification with superior acoustic performance, this double leaf gate is designed for a range of applications, from commercial and industrial premises to sensitive sites where controlled access and environmental noise management are crucial. This gate is fully compatible with 1.8m high AcoustiGuard® fencing, ensuring a seamless and secure continuation of your perimeter system.

Certified Security: LPS 1175 SR1 (A1)

This gate kit proudly holds the LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) certification, a widely respected standard issued by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB). LPS 1175 focuses on the physical security performance of building elements such as gates, doors, and barriers by rigorously testing their ability to withstand forced entry attempts.

• Security Rating 1 (SR1) represents the initial level of certification in the LPS 1175 series, intended to defend against opportunistic intruders using common hand tools like screwdrivers, pliers, and hammers within a limited timeframe (usually three minutes).
• The SR1 (A1) classification confirms that the gate has been independently tested to resist these break-in attempts, providing reassurance for installations where basic but effective physical security is needed.
• This certification is especially important for safeguarding low to medium-risk environments, offering a balance between security, accessibility, and cost.

The LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) certification not only underscores the gate’s reliability but also helps organisations comply with insurance requirements and security best practices.

Construction and Material Quality

The robust construction of the AcoustiGuard® SR1 Double Leaf Gate Kit reflects a commitment to durability, strength, and long-term performance. The gate frame is manufactured from hot-dip galvanised steel, complying with ISO 1461, which guarantees a consistent zinc coating that protects the metal from corrosion and environmental damage. This galvanising process is critical in extending the gate’s lifespan and maintaining its structural integrity, even in harsh weather conditions.

The gate’s acoustic face features tanalised UC4 timber, a type of pressure-treated timber designed to resist fungal decay and insect infestation. This timber layer is specifically engineered to provide excellent sound absorption, reducing noise transmission and helping to create quieter surroundings in busy or noisy environments.

Together, the combination of galvanised steel and treated timber delivers a gate that is both strong and acoustically efficient, ideal for sites adjacent to roads, industrial zones, or other areas with high noise levels.

Dimensions and Design Features

• Height: 1800mm (installed height), providing a moderate barrier height suitable for environments where physical security and access control are required without imposing an overly imposing presence.
• Access Width: 2000mm total, split across the two gate leaves, offering a wide enough opening to accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and equipment while maintaining controlled access.
• Box Sections of Posts: The gate uses 120x120x4mm box section posts, delivering excellent stability and rigidity essential for a double leaf gate system.
• Primary Gate Leaf: Right-hand hung when viewed from outside, facilitating easy integration with existing fencing and security setups.
• Material: The gate frame consists of hot-dip galvanised steel, while the acoustic face is formed from durable tanalised UC4 timber.
• PPC Colours: The gate is available in galvanised finish only, prioritising corrosion resistance and durability over aesthetic finishes.
• Assembly: The kit is supplied fully assembled and ready for lifting, which significantly reduces installation time and labour costs on site.

Applications and Benefits

The 1.8m High x 2.0m Wide AcoustiGuard® SR1 Double Leaf Gate Kit is suitable for a variety of settings where both security and noise reduction are priorities. Common applications include:

• Commercial and Industrial Facilities: Secure warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics centres while minimising noise disturbances for adjacent properties.
• Public and Educational Sites: Control access and reduce noise pollution at schools, colleges, and public buildings, enhancing the safety and comfort of occupants.
• Utility and Infrastructure Installations: Protect critical infrastructure sites such as water treatment plants or electrical substations where noise control and security compliance are essential.
• Residential Developments: Provide sound attenuation and security for gated communities or housing developments situated near busy roads or commercial areas.

Beyond security and noise reduction, this gate’s durable materials and galvanised finish ensure low maintenance requirements, making it a cost-effective long-term investment.

Compliance with Standards

• ISO 1461 (Galvanising): This international standard governs the hot-dip galvanising process, ensuring a uniform zinc coating that protects steel components from corrosion. Compliance with ISO 1461 assures that the gate frame will withstand environmental factors, including rain, humidity, and salt exposure, maintaining its integrity and appearance over many years.
• LPS 1175 SR1 (A1): This certification is one of the most respected standards for physical security in the UK and internationally. Achieving SR1 means the gate has undergone stringent testing to resist forced entry attempts, providing verified protection against casual or opportunistic intruders.
