Our Specialist Services

Every property manages access differently. We look at who needs entry, how often the entrance is used and what level of control is required, then recommend a reliable access control setup that feels simple, secure and properly suited to the site.

Audio and Video Intercom Systems

Intercom systems help you manage visitors before granting access. Audio intercoms provide a clear way to speak with people at the gate, while video intercoms add visibility, so you can see who is there before allowing entry.

Keypads, Fobs and Controlled Entry

For regular users, staff, residents or contractors, keypads and fobs can make access easier to manage without losing control. We can plan access around the people who use the entrance every day.

Access Control for Schools & Commercial Sites

Access control helps schools and businesses manage access more securely. We design practical systems that improve safety, simplify entry and make day-to-day access easy to manage.

Built to Work with Gate Automation

Access control is often most effective when it is planned alongside gate automation. This allows the gate, motors, intercoms, keypads, fobs and safety features to work together as one reliable system. If you are installing a new bespoke automated gate, we can consider access control from the beginning. If you already have an automated entrance, we can assess the current setup and advise on suitable upgrade options. Our aim is to create a system that feels simple to use, secure in practice and properly integrated with the entrance, so everything works together smoothly from day one.

Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot praise the service we received from Will & his colleagues enough. They came to appraise the issue we were having with our gate within 24 hours of getting in contact, they were timely, polite, professional & sorted our gate within thirty minutes. Will is honest, upfront, friendly and obviously a specialist in his field, and his colleagues were both knowledgeable, charming & hardworking as well. If you’re considering fitting, repairing or servicing your automatic gate system this is a strong recommend on service alone. Thank you all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend using Wills Gates. Will and his team recently removed an old set of wooden gates for me, and installed a new motorised wooden vehicle gate plus a pedestrian gate. The project was not straight forward, due to the slope of the driveway, and also the slope of the public road that it’s on. However, from the initial meeting, through the installation, Will found solutions to the issues, and the end result is fantastic! The gates look exactly as I wanted them, operate perfectly, and the entry system he suggested is secure and simple to use. The project was completed on time and within budget. Will and his team are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.
