Horizontal Swing Barriers
For sites that receive less frequent traffic, an automatic car park barrier may not be the most cost-effective access control solution. That’s why we supply a range of affordable, low-maintenance, and fully customisable horizontal swing barriers here at Expert Security UK.
Our horizontal swing car park barriers are powder-coated for extra durability and can be locked in the open or closed position, allowing you to secure your site or grant full access without needing security staff to be present at all times. In addition, we supply both single and double-leaf swing gates to fit the requirements of any site, and your fully bespoke swing barriers will be professionally installed by the Expert Security UK team to ensure their longevity.
If vertical lift manual barriers aren’t the best fit for your site, horizontal swing barriers could be an excellent alternative. Discover our range of swing barriers below.
