Sliding Gate with Access Control - Mere UK Ltd Electrical Contractor

St. Bridgets Catholic Primary School Sliding Gate Project

Installation of a sliding gate operator at St. Bridgets Catholic Primary School in Warrington

Mere UK was approached by St Bridget’s Catholic Primary School in Warrington to supply and install an automated sliding gate system to improve site security and streamline access control. The school needed a robust and reliable entrance solution that ensured both safety and convenience during busy drop-off and pick-up times.

We designed and installed a custom-built sliding gate, fitted with a Videx coded entry intercom for secure entry and a magnetic exit loop to allow smooth, automated vehicle exit.
