🚧 ANOTHER GATE TRANSFORMATION COMPLETE — AND WHAT A RESULT! 🔥
Lovely day getting this old gate back up and running! 👌
These gates had been out of action for several years, and after a couple of previous attempts by other engineers failed to get the system operating reliably, we decided enough was enough…
Rather than keep patching an outdated system, we went back to basics and stripped out the old automation completely before installing a brand-new DEAsystem UK & Ireland automation package. ⚙️
🔧 A proper job starts with a proper assessment.
Before putting the new system in place, we looked at the whole installation — not just the motors:
✅ Gate condition & mechanical operation
✅ Gate weight, travel & geometry
✅ Hinges, stops & alignment
✅ Manual movement and resistance
✅ Existing cabling & infrastructure
✅ Safety devices and protection
✅ Control equipment
✅ Access requirements
✅ Reliability & long-term performance
✅ Correct sizing of the automation
✅ Compliance & safe operation
✅ Ease of future servicing and maintenance
Once the old equipment was removed, we could start with a clean slate and install a system designed properly around the gates.
⚙️ WHY DEA?
We specify DEA because quality automation isn't simply about making a gate move.
It's about reliable operation, appropriate equipment selection, safety, serviceability and long-term value.
The right automation system should:
🔹 Be correctly matched to the gate
🔹 Handle the duty cycle required
🔹 Provide dependable day-to-day operation
🔹 Incorporate the appropriate safety equipment
🔹 Be straightforward to maintain and service
🔹 Have quality components and proven technology
🔹 Give the customer confidence every time the gate operates
And that's exactly what we aim to deliver.
🛠️ BG&S — PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION MATTERS
Good automation equipment is only part of the equation.
The installation is just as important.
Our approach is to look at the complete gate system, identify the underlying problems, rectify them properly and then install the automation to suit the application — rather than forcing a system onto a gate that
