Safety, Fire Access, and Codes
A good access system is secure and safe. Plan for these points before you install.
Emergency access
Many Central Texas cities and fire departments want a way to open automatic gates in an emergency. Common tools include a Knox key switch and a manual release. Rules differ by city.
Safety standards
Automatic gates should meet UL 325 safety standards, with sensors that help prevent entrapment.
Backup power
A battery backup keeps entry working during an outage.
Manual release
Everyone who uses the gate should know where it is.
HOA and city rules
Confirm current rules with your city, fire department, and HOA before you install.
We plan these items at the start so your system works and passes review.
