Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 2-Way Auto Gate and the Mechanical Lockable Swing Gate?
The 2-Way Auto Gate (5000 Series) is fully automatic — it opens on credential presentation and closes automatically after each use. The Mechanical Lockable Swing Gate is manually operated and locked, making it suitable for lower-traffic staff-only areas where a simpler, lower-cost solution is appropriate.
Are the gate solutions ADA / AODA compliant?
Yes. The 2-Way Auto Gate and Electric Magnetic Locking Gate are designed to meet ADA and AODA accessibility requirements. The Mechanical Self Closing Swing Gate and Mechanical Lockable Swing Gate are available in ADA-compliant widths. Contact our team to confirm compliance for your specific application.
Can the Electric Magnetic Locking Gate integrate with our existing access control system?
Yes. The Electric Magnetic Locking Gate is designed to integrate with standard access control systems including card readers, keypads, and biometric systems. The 600 lb magnetic lock is controlled by a standard 12V or 24V signal from your access control panel.
What happens to the gates during a power failure?
All electric gate solutions are available in fail-safe (power-off = unlocked) or fail-secure (power-off = locked) configurations depending on your security requirements. The mechanical gates are unaffected by power failures as they operate independently of electrical systems.
Can gate solutions be combined with turnstile systems?
Absolutely. Our gate solutions are frequently installed alongside waist-high and full-height turnstile systems to provide ADA-compliant access lanes while maintaining security at standard lanes. Our team can design a complete integrated access control solution for your facility.
