Security upgrades

Deter them at the gate

Early detection of intruders at your driveway gate. Anti-theft brackets, antilift brackets and a siren could save you from being a victim.

    Bolts the unit to the gate so it cannot simply be unbolted and carried off.

  • Antilift brackets

    Helps stop the gate being lifted off its rail and walked out of the track.

  • Siren alarm

    Adds sound and light at the gate when the unit is tampered with.
