Gates, access & security
Gates, access control and electronic security
We fabricate the gate, automate it, control who comes through it, and watch the property around it. One team from the steel to the camera feed.
Most security jobs are treated as separate purchases: a gate from one place, a motor from another, cameras from a third, and nothing quite works together. We build the whole thing as one system.
That starts at fabrication. We can manufacture a gate to fit the opening and the look of the property, install it, and automate it — rather than only fitting a motor to whatever gate is already there.

Why ALC
Why one team for the whole system
Fabrication as well as fitting
We can make the gate, not just bolt a motor onto an existing one.
Electronics in-house
Motor controller boards and receiver faults go to our own electronics bench instead of straight to a replacement quote.
One integrated system
Gate, access control, alarm and cameras specified together so they actually work as one.
Maintained, not abandoned
Servicing, remotes, spares and repairs after installation.
In the workshop
Examples of actual work
Sliding gate, new build
Gate fabricated to the opening, installed, automated and set up with remotes and safety beams.
Gate that stopped mid-travel
Controller board tested and repaired, limits reset, power supply fault traced.
Safe with no key
Opened without destroying the safe, then re-secured and anchored in its new position.
FAQs
Questions we get asked
Can you make a gate, or only install motors?
We fabricate custom gates to suit the opening and the property, then install and automate them.
My gate motor is dead. Does it need replacing?
Not always. We test the board, the power supply and the motor first — repairs are common and much cheaper than a new unit.
Do you open safes?
Yes. We open safes when the key or code is lost, and we also sell, install, and relocate safes.
