Barrier Arm Gates
Barrier arms control vehicle access at parking lots, garages, and gated entries hundreds of times a day. We install and service systems built for that cycle count.
Barrier Arm Gates in Sacramento & Northern California
A barrier arm gate is the fastest way to control vehicle access. The operator lifts a lightweight arm in a couple of seconds, holds it while the vehicle passes, and lowers it as soon as the loop clears. That speed and simplicity make barrier arms the standard for parking lots and garages, employee and visitor entries, toll and ticket lanes, and industrial and municipal sites. It also means they run more cycles than almost any other access equipment, so the operator, arm, and detection have to be rated for it.
Guardian Door LLC installs, repairs, replaces, and maintains commercial barrier arm systems across Sacramento and Northern California — high-cycle barrier operators, straight and articulating arms, breakaway arm mounts, vehicle detection loops and detectors, photo eyes, safety equipment, control boards, keypads, card readers, remotes, ticket and pay-station integration, and access control integration.
