Security & Access Gates, Ware: engineered-to-load spec for Georgian and Victorian properties in the centre
Capital Fencing installs security access gates across Ware and out toward hertford and hoddesdon. What separates a security access gates job from a standard boundary is the detail: hardwood driveway gates with anti-lift hinges, key-lockable drop bolt and prep for intercom cabling.

Pressure-treated closeboard, 200mm gravel board over flood line. Standing through two winter floods so far.

How we build security access gates in Ware
steel or hardwood framed, anti-lift ball-race hinges, deadlocking hardware, cabling duct pre-run to the intercom position. On Ware jobs we adjust for riverside plots can hit the water table within two spades — concrete-set posts and proper drainage are essential.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian properties in the centre, with newer suburban estates around Wengeo Lane. Typical gardens: long thin riverside plots — many drop down to the New River and need retaining work. Postcodes we regularly service: SG12.
Why this spec, for residential and small-commercial clients wanting secure access — anti-lift hinges, deadlocking, prep for entry systems

- we co-ordinate with the intercom, mag-lock or GSM installer so cabling routes are right first time
Common failure modes on security access gates
- •domestic hinges on a security gate — trivially lifted off
