Swing gates: how to choose one that's ideal for your premises

Swing gates: an effective part of your security 

The swing gate is the easiest and most effective way to secure access to your property. Far from being a vulnerable point in your fencing, your gate can dissuade intruders from entering. It can be reinforced with a key lock, contact-based or contactless access control systems, or secured with an additional padlock and chain when the premises are vacant. 

Securing all types of access 

Swing and sliding gates have traditionally been used to secure homes and many commercial and business locations as well. They range from single versions in materials such as wood or metal, up to double sizes on a large scale for business premises. Whether you need a high version for access to your garden, or an electric sliding gate or cantilever sliding gate for a commercial yard, Betafence’s products are quickly and easily installed. 
 

Match with Betafence’s panel fencing system 

The wide choice of gate available matches Betafence’s own panels, from Bekafor through to the latest CreaZen panels with their appealing organic appearance. Driveway gates can be an attractive way to secure access to your home or business while preventing people from using your driveway for parking. Both manual and gate automation options are available. Durable, lightweight aluminium gates keep access secure without sacrificing ease of use but are not yet offered in our assortment.
 

Metal and panelling options give plenty of choices 

Gates and panels made from wire can be coated in various anti-corrosive materials, too, so they are long lasting. They are the best option when viewing the site is essential for safety or security reasons. Alternatively, the vertical bars of infill composite panelling provide greater privacy where the site requires it, so are a good choice for the home. Matching the gate and the panelling creates a finished look that keeps a garden both secluded and stylish. 
 

Larger sites need greater security 

Where security is less of a premium, say in rural domestic settings, a traditional wooden gate in a timber frame is enough. Larger commercial and industrial sites requiring automatic sliding gates for greater security, on the other hand, will find plenty of choice in Betafence's range of sliding gates.
