Door Entry Systems & Automatic Gates

...an Englishman’s home is his castle

A door entry system with automatic gates is the first line of defence for your home or business. It is the modern equivalent of a spy hole and limiter chain… but much more secure and providing far more peace of mind. You can ask for ID, turn away salesmen and prevent distraction burglary easily by simply not letting anyone that you don’t like the look of onto your property - and anywhere near your front door!

With Blake Fire & Security Systems, you can be certain that you will get:

High standards – you will get the best equipment for your specific requirements, with service and installation to match.
Fast turnaround – although our workload varies we can usually get the job done in a week because we hold most of the equipment at our HQ in Southend
Preferential prices – cheap is the wrong word. We offer fantastic value by passing on savings we get from the long-standing relationships we have with our suppliers. We get a better deal from PAC, Paxton, Fermax and Videx so you do too.

How do door entry systems work?

The person requesting access presses a buzzer, you respond and let the person in or not, as appropriate. Many blocks of flats use an intercom system while others opt for video. This offers additional protection because you can see the person requesting entry without them seeing you. It’s like a modern version of the spy hole, just much safer.

How do automatic gates work?

It all depends… They can operate on a timer clock, via a keypad or remote fob. Like a car key fob, you press once, and the gate will open, then close. Alternatively, you can opt for a system that opens automatically called an exit loop. Most people opt for a fob or keypad system.
