Consideratons for choosing Supermarket Style Entry Gates

Automatic and manual supermarket-style entry gates provide secure, reliable and effective access control for retail stores, gyms, aquatic and leisure centres, entertainment venues, offices and public places.

Crucial for ensuring seamless traffic management at entry and exit points, retail entry gates serve as the initial line of defence against theft while bolstering overall security measures.

Considerations For Selecting Retail Entry Gates

Rotech’s Ecoport Automatic and Manual Supermarket Entry Gates are modular and can suit virtually any installation scenario.

• Assess Traffic Flow and Volume: Analyse pedestrian traffic patterns, peak time periods, and high-traffic zones to select gates that efficiently manage the anticipated volume without creating bottlenecks.
• Security and Theft Prevention: Choose automatic gates equipped with access control systems to bolster security measures, preventing unauthorized access while granting entry to authorised personnel. 
• Emergency Situations: Plan for emergencies and ensure automatic gates have panic features or override options for emergency exits.
• Space Constraints: Consider the space available for gate installation, noting that automatic gates need additional room for sensors and motors. Conversely, manual gates are more space-efficient and ideal for smaller entryways. 
• Aesthetics and Brand Image: Choose gate designs that reflect your brand’s essence and customise the gate arm with your logo, offered in stylish Chrome or sleek Acrylic finishes. Accessibility Compliance Make sure the gates meet accessibility standards by being wheelchair-friendly with a width of at least 900mm.
