Semi-Automatic Pedestrian Gates

Semi-Automatic Pedestrian Gates

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.

With the most common, popular commercial infill options, including Vertical Bar, 868 Twin Mesh, 358 Prison Mesh and Palisade available, we can offer all the fencing to match your gate choice.

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: Engineers 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.

Why Choose Semi-Automatic?

Unlike fully manual gates that rely on users to ensure they are closed, or fully motorised gates that can be slow and costly to maintain, semi-automatic systems offer:

• Self-Closing Reliability: The hydraulic gate closer ensures the gate returns to a secure, latched position every time.
• Safety First: Without high-powered motors, these gates carry a lower risk of entrapment, making them ideal for high-traffic environments like schools, hospitals, and retail parks.
• Cost-Effective: Enjoy the benefits of controlled access with lower installation and maintenance costs compared to fully powered electric gates.
• Access Control Ready: Fully compatible with intercoms, keypad entry, and a wide range of other access control devices.

Key Features as Standard

To guarantee peak performance out of the box, we have pre-configured every gate with industry-leading hardware:

• Locinox Samson 2 Gate Closer: The gold standard in hydraulic closing technology. The Samson 2 provides a smooth, controlled closing action regardless of outside temperatures. It’s fully adjustable, allowing you to set the closing speed and final snap to suit your specific site requirements.
• Locinox Magnetic Lock (Maglock) Fail Safe: For uncompromising security, we integrate high-pull-strength Locinox maglocks. These fail-safe units ensure the gate remains firmly locked against unauthorised entry, while integrating seamlessly with the access control system of your choice or your existing systems.
• Locinox Lock & Electric Strike Fail Close: If you want complete security even in the event of a power failure, this is the option for you. The fail-close option means the gate will remain closed and locked even when the power is down.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the unpredictable British weather, our gates are hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated. While we have a selection of the most popular RAL colours available as standard, we can offer this product in almost any RAL colour to match your corporate branding.
