Gate technology supplied by British security industry trade association member

A survey into automatic gates found 35 per cent of respondents admitted to not having a regular service agreement in place to ensure the ongoing safety of the automatic gate. Chairman Richard Jackson of the survey-takers, the Gate Safe Steering Group, said: "These findings indicate that a worryingly high level of risk exists of yet another automated gate accident occurring, or even worse a fatality," adding it demonstrated "that more needs to be done" to put the message across.
