Automatic Gates & Access Control

Automatic gates bring together security, control, and everyday convenience. At VWS, we integrate gate systems with access control technologies such as keypads, card and fob readers, intercoms, and remote monitoring — ensuring only authorised people or vehicles can gain entry.Designed for frequent use, high traffic levels, and exposure to the elements, our automatic gates are built for long-term reliability. Every installation includes essential safety features such as photocells, anti-crush protection, safety monitoring, and backup options, delivering a robust solution that protects both people and property.

Bollards, Barriers & Traffic Control

Bollards and barriers are an effective way to control vehicle access and protect vulnerable areas. We design and install permanent, removable, and retractable bollards to safeguard walkways, entrances, and sensitive zones, while boom barriers and traffic control systems help manage vehicle flow in parking and loading areas.Every solution is tailored to your site, balancing strength, visibility, and ease of use. The result is clear, effective traffic management that enhances safety and security without being intrusive or disruptive to everyday operations.

Robust Materials & Durability

Gates and barriers are exposed to the elements, constant use, and, at times, heavy impact. At VWS, we specify high-quality materials such as galvanised steel, treated metals, and weather-resistant finishes to deliver long service life with minimal maintenance.Critical components — including hinges, motors, rollers, and tracks — are selected for durability and protected where required. Every installation is engineered for smooth, reliable operation, reducing the risk of breakdowns and helping you avoid costly, unexpected replacements.

Maintenance, Support & Upgrades

A gate or barrier system doesn’t end at installation. We provide ongoing maintenance, servicing, and upgrade support to keep your system operating safely and efficiently throughout its lifespan.This includes routine safety inspections, lubrication, electronic testing, motor repair or replacement, control system updates, and the retrofit of safety enhancements where required.
