- Highly recommended for gates with frequent use.
RESIDENTIAL MAINTENANCE

faulty components will be repaired
or replaced. - Whilst labour will be included in the service charge, any parts required will be chargeable, although you will be notified before any remedial work is commenced.
Metallic Carpentry specialise in gate automation and access control systems. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to live in a stately home to benefit from this fabulous technology.
Automation offers convenience and security as well as potentially increasing the value of your home. No longer do you have to leave your house unsecured, because it's too much hassle to get in and out of the car to secure the gate.
REMOTE CONROL TRANSMITTERS
Most systems are operated by means of remote control transmitters which will operate the gates from a distance at the push of a button. These give ease of access to the user as there is not need to step out of your car, or even roll down the window!
DIGITAL KEY PAD
This entry system is particularly useful where other users are to gain entry e.g. postal workers, maintenance contractors as they grant access to anyone with a correct key code. Some of our keypads allow 100+ codes to be programmed. These codes can be added or deleted when required to ensure continued security with minimal disruption. Digital keypads are available in hard-wired and wireless. Some models are available in vandal-resistant casings, for added security.
PROXIMITY / SWIPE CARD SYSTEMS
These card systems are usually installed to multi-user sites. They operate by presenting/swiping a card or fob to a card/fob reader at the entrance. The gate, barrier or door is then activated/released allowing access to the card/fob holder. These systems can be used inside a site as well as at the external entry point, meaning that just one card can operate a gate/barrier and on-site doors / gates. Individual cards or fobs can easily be added or deleted without affecting other users. This option of access control is very popular in a variety of commercial settings.
INTERCOM SYSTEMS
Intercom systems can be single or multi-user systems making them popular with domestic and commercial sites alike.
The intercom unit is positioned at the gate/barrier entrance. The visitor presses the call button which calls a handset within the property/site. A two-way conversation is then established and the owner can allow access, if required. We offer a huge range of these products to suit all applications from multi-plex housing sites to single unit residential sites.
We offer both hard wired and wireless systems (including the GSM intercom). Wireless systems may be used where cabling to the property/site is difficult.
The ‘GSM intercom’ is a sophisticated wireless intercom that takes it’s name from it’s use of GSM technology by means of a SIM card (as used in a GSM mobile phone). When a visitor presses the intercom the call goes directly to a landline phone or mobile handset. Should the owner wish to grant access to the caller, this is done with the telephone keypad. One great benefit of this system is that you can speak to and, if required, grant access to the property from wherever you are, as long as a mobile signal is available. This system is also available to single or multi-user sites.
VIDEO INTERCOM SYSTEMS
Video intercoms work in the same way as the audio intercoms except they have the added advantage of viewing the visitor before allowing them access to the property. This gives extra piece of mind when dealing with the public or people you don’t know.
These systems are available to single or multi-user sites, with the options of colour or monochrome screens. They are available with ‘hands-free’ option and work to allow for day and night usage. Some models have a ‘picture memory function’.
