Explore our range of commercial security gate solutions

Our premium-grade industrial security gates are built to last and installed to the highest standards, giving you genuine peace of mind that your site, staff, and assets are properly protected. Whether you need a heavy-duty solution for a large industrial site or something more understated for a corporate setting, we’ll work with you to find the right fit.

We supply and install a wide range of commercial security gates, including:

  • Controlled Access Security Gates
  • Cantilever Sliding
  • Security Gates with Pedestrian Access
  • SR2 Rated Palisade
  • Security Gates with matching perimeter fencing
  • Industrial Bi-fold Security Gates
  • Airlock Security Gates for highly restricted access
  • Telescopic Sliding Gates for premises with limited space

For sites that need serious strength, our steel security gates are a popular choice. If you’re after something lighter and easier to maintain, our aluminium gates are a smart alternative that still does the job well. Either way, every installation is planned around your site and what you actually need from it.

We work with a broad range of clients across many different sectors — from commercial offices, schools, and hospitals to warehouses, airports, and retail parks. We also install gates for data centres, manufacturing plants, construction sites, plant hire yards, recycling and waste management facilities, water treatment plants, call centres, and industrial business parks. If your site needs a reliable gate, we can help.

We’re a certified installation partner for FAAC, NICE, and CAME — three of the most respected names in commercial gate manufacturing. We also install Kostum aluminium security gates, which are a great option if you want something that looks good and works well. We can also install security perimeter fencing and rising bollards for business premises.

“We recently contracted WLS to enhance the security features at our nursery entrance, and we could not be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the team demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism. Steve, who did the site visit, handled all the paperwork and organised the work, was fantastic extremely efficient, communicative, and meticulous about sticking to proposed deadlines and timelines. The engineers, Zack and Marek, were an absolute dream to work with.”

“Despite the often-hectic nature of nursery drop offs and pick ups, they remained respectful, calm, and accommodating. They patiently answered all our questions, explained the process clearly, and walked us through how everything would work once the installation was complete. Sam, who oversaw the logistics of operation, also took the time to check in with us afterward to ensure we were satisfied and everything had gone smoothly. We highly recommend WLS to anyone considering similar work. It has been one of the best contractor experiences we have had, and we are grateful to the team for making this project stress free and successful. Thank you!”

Commercial security gate installations FAQs

For answers to the most common questions about electric gate installations in commercial premises see our FAQs.

What does the automated gate installation process involve?

Our installation process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your premises. We then design a tailored security solution, followed by professional installation by our certified technicians. Finally, we conduct thorough testing to ensure everything operates seamlessly.

We install several different types of electric security gate and each can be tailored to meet your exact premises and its requirements. We install SR2 rated gates with controlled access, sliding gates, cantilever gates, bi-fold gates, airlock gates and telescopic gates. Our engineers are also certified to work on leading brands like FAAC, NICE, CAME and Kostum gates. If you have a specific design of automatic gate in mind, chances are we can help. Speak to one of our specialists by calling 0208 676 4300.

This depends on the location of your business and the type of commercial electric gate you want installed on your property. Planning permission is required if the gate is over 1 metre in height and is located on a busy roadway, or if it is over 2 metres high.

For a simple automation package, our gates tend to start at £12,000. This price can change though depending on all sorts of factors like the type of gate, and any additional integrations you’d like added.

Limited space is one of the most common challenges we come across, and it's rarely a problem we can't solve. If you don't have room for a traditional swing gate, a sliding gate or cantilever gate is usually the answer — both operate along the fence line rather than swinging outward, so they work well in tight or restricted entrances. For very confined spaces, a telescopic gate is worth considering, as it folds back into a much smaller footprint than a standard slider. We'd always recommend a site visit before making a final recommendation, because every entrance is slightly different.

Yes, we can. For sites that need the highest level of protection — whether that's a data centre, a government facility, or any site where security can't be compromised — we install heavy-duty steel security gates engineered specifically for that purpose. These can be combined with anti-climb measures, vehicle attack rated barriers, ANPR systems, and full access control to create a genuinely robust security solution. If maximum security is what you need, tell us about your site and we'll put together a specification that matches the risk level you're working to.

Warranty terms vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product, but as a certified installation partner for FAAC, NICE, and CAME, you're buying into brands that stand behind their products. We'll always be upfront with you about what's covered and for how long before any work begins, so there are no surprises down the line. Our own installation work is also guaranteed, and we offer ongoing maintenance and service agreements if you want the peace of mind of knowing your gate is being looked after on a regular basis.

Yes, we do. Gates, bollards, and ANPR cameras work really well together as part of a layered access control solution — ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) is particularly popular with clients who want to automate vehicle access without the need for a manned barrier, and combining it with rising bollards adds an extra level of control for sites where vehicle security is a priority. It's worth having a conversation about what you're trying to achieve, and we can advise on the right combination for your site.

 

 

You're going to hell for lying!

In most cases, yes. Modern commercial gate systems are designed to integrate with a wide range of access control platforms, so if you already have a door entry system in place, there's a good chance we can connect your gate to it rather than running two separate systems side by side. It makes life easier for your team and gives you a cleaner, more consistent way to manage access across your whole site. We'd just need to know what system you're currently running so we can confirm compatibility before we go any further.

Yes, we can. Turnstile side gates are a great solution when you need to manage pedestrian access alongside vehicle access — keeping foot traffic controlled and accountable without disrupting the flow of vehicles. They're commonly used at industrial sites, construction sites, and larger commercial premises where you need a clear separation between the two. We can install these as part of a wider gate and access control system or as a standalone addition to an existing setup. Let us know what you're working with and we'll take it from there.
