When it comes to installing commercial automated gates, WLS probably won’t be the cheapest in the market. It is likely that you will be able to find cheaper options out there. So, what makes WLS worth the increased investment? The answer is simple and can be summarised by one word: quality.
WLS were first founded in 1983. That means that we have over 40 years’ experience installing commercial automated gates, barriers and bollards. Naturally, this gives us some strong advantages over our competition.
Firstly, to complete any installation you need to have the best team around you. Our reputation, formed through the hundreds of gates we have installed, attracts the best engineers to our company. Unlike many other security companies, we also have a state-of-the-art in-house recruitment department that identifies and then persuades the best local talent to come and join our team. Each of our engineers have over 5 years’ experience, our Project Managers have decades of experience and our Managing Director, who personally approves every installation proposal, has nearly half a century of experience.
Our salesmen are hand-selected by our recruitment team not to sell, but to consult. Every single gate is completely different. It is therefore vital to us that our salesmen spend their time with you, not persuading you to buy a brand we want to push, but finding out every detail about your company, your property and what you need to use the gate for.
Once you have received our initial proposal, we then send our lead project manager out to personally survey each site. He assesses the practicality of every proposed project and creates an instalment itinerary bespoke to your property.
At WLS, we only use the finest materials. Our motors come from Italy, our hardwood and welded aluminium from London, our modular aluminium from northern France and our iron is crafted in our very own workshop in Dulwich.
You may be thinking: “why is quality so important?”. Well, when it comes to clothes, shoes or suits high-quality can be a luxury. When it comes to security, however, quality is a necessity. Whether you are a school, a warehouse, a hospital or an airport it is imperative that you have full control over who enters and exits your site. To lose the functionality of your gate, even for a day, could significantly hamper your day-to-day operations and cost you considerably more than you saved opting for the cheaper gate company in the first place.
It is true, though, that extraordinary circumstances can occasionally lead your gate to break down. This is why, with our maintenance contract, your commercial gates, barriers and bollards will also be serviced frequently to ensure their continued functionality. You will also have 24/7 access to our in and out of hours call out team* who can be with you day or night to restore the functionality of your gate should anything go wrong.
WLS are not the cheapest in the market, we know that. But we have the best engineers, use the best materials and have over 40 years’ experience fitting commercially used automated gates in London and the South East. We are the best at what we do. Speak to our team, today.
