First Fence Launches Semi-Automatic Pedestrian Gates

Why Semi-Automatic?
In high-traffic commercial environments, the balance between robust security and fluid movement is delicate. Our Semi-Automatic Pedestrian Gates provide the perfect middle ground, combining the heavy-duty physical protection of a manual gate with the effortless, controlled closing of an automated system.
Enhance your perimeter security without compromising on ease of access. Our range of commercial-grade pedestrian gates is designed specifically for high-traffic environments where durability and controlled entry are paramount.
Every gate in this range is engineered for semi-automatic operation, ensuring the gate closes reliably behind each user, making it perfect for schools, office complexes, and industrial sites.
All our gates are supplied with a Locinox hydraulic gate closer and either a Locinox Maglock or an Electric Strike.
Available Infill Options
We offer four different infill options, all with the same high build quality and specification.
Vertical Bar
Combining timeless security with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Our vertical bar infill gates offer robust protection and excellent visibility without compromising on style. Perfect for both residential and commercial properties looking for a classic, clean boundary line.
868 Twin Mesh
The heavy-duty twin mesh gate has an 8mm/6mm/8mm welded wire configuration that creates a formidable barrier against intruders while maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic.
358 Prison Mesh
Engineered for high-security environments, the ultra-tight 358-gauge prison mesh pedestrian gate provides an ultimate barrier against climbing and cutting. The mesh also offers visibility for CCTV security.
Palisade
Upgrade your property's defence with a palisade pedestrian gate that means business. The traditional pointed tops of the palisade infill prevent climbing, while the reinforced steel construction ensures long-term durability.
