Why Automate

The Real Benefits of Automatic Gate Systems

Strong Physical Security

Eliminate tailgating, control authorised vehicles and create an audit trail of every entry/exit.

Fast, Reliable Access

1.5–6 second opening for boom barriers, depending on arm length, no manual operation needed — even in 50°C UAE summers.

Lower Operating Cost

Reduce the need for guards on routine entry control — the saving depends on the site, its shifts and the access method.

Detailed Audit Logs

Every gate event logged with vehicle, driver, timestamp and photo — searchable, exportable, integrable with HR.

Revenue Generation

For paid car parks — automated ticketing and payment add a steady revenue stream and reduce cash handling.

CCTV & Access Integration

Link gate events to CCTV snapshot, biometric door access and visitor management — one unified platform.

Safety and Access

Gate Safety, Emergency Release and Maintenance in Abu Dhabi

Powered gates are normally designed with reference to the European standards EN 12453 (safety in use: force limitation and obstruction detection) and EN 12445 (the force-test method), and fitted with photocells, safety edges and a manual release. UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 37 of 2016 on the safety of automatic doors and windows, which covers barriers and gates, makes the standards in its annex mandatory (what it requires). A gate that cannot be opened during a power failure can block ambulances and fire engines, so the manual release matters, and the federal scheme requires manual operation in an emergency or power outage; confirm the details for your building with the consultant or Civil Defence.

Gates are moving machines: springs, brakes, photocells and loop detectors wear and should be checked on a schedule, which a maintenance contract documents. See our boom barrier systems page for the maintenance schedule, and the private parking rules guide if the gate controls a paid or allocated car park in Abu Dhabi.

FAQ

Gate & Barrier Systems — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a boom barrier cost in Abu Dhabi?
A typical CAME or FAAC 3m boom barrier with controller, photocells and remote control runs AED 6,000–12,000 supplied and installed. High-speed (1.5 sec) MAGNETIC AutoControl barriers for malls and high-volume parking start around AED 15,000–25,000. Add RFID, ANPR and full parking management for AED 30,000–150,000+.
Which gate brand is best for my home or compound?
For villas and small compounds we recommend BENINCA, Nice or CAME swing/sliding gate kits — silent, reliable, and easy to maintain. For commercial sites we recommend FAAC, MAGNETIC AutoControl, BFT or CAME heavy-duty motors. Free site survey to match your gate weight, traffic volume and budget.
Do you integrate ANPR / license plate cameras with gate barriers?
Yes — we deploy Hikvision, Dahua, and dedicated Vehicle Access ANPR cameras integrated with the barrier controller for hands-free, ticketless entry. Whitelisted vehicles open the barrier automatically; unrecognised plates trigger ticket dispenser or guard intervention.
Can I open my gate from my phone?
Yes — modern controllers (CAME Go, Nice MyNice, FAAC J Series) include Bluetooth/4G modules so you can open gates from your phone, share access codes with family/visitors, and view event logs.
Do you provide AMC for gates and barriers?
Yes. AMC plans cover quarterly preventive maintenance (lubrication, sensor calibration, motor inspection), AMC emergency response, replacement of consumables (springs, photocells), and remote firmware updates — keeping your gate running 24/7 in UAE summers.
How long does gate installation take?
A residential swing gate kit installs in 1 day. A commercial boom barrier with photocells, loop detectors and RFID takes 1–3 days. Full parking system with multiple lanes, ANPR, ticketing and payment machines runs 1–3 weeks depending on civil work.
Do you handle civil work for gates and barriers?
Yes — we coordinate concrete pads, conduit runs, power cabling, foundation bolts and trenching either in-house or with a partner civil contractor. We also explain at the survey which approvals apply to your site.
Should an automatic gate in Abu Dhabi have a manual release for emergencies?

Yes. UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 37 of 2016 requires manual operation in an emergency or power outage, and a powered gate that cannot be opened during a power failure can block ambulances and fire engines, so it should have a manual release, and a barrier an emergency-override mode. We found no published Abu Dhabi rule text that prescribes the mechanism, so confirm the details for your building with the project consultant or Civil Defence. Our installations include a manual release and an emergency-override mode.

What safety devices should an automatic gate have?

Typically photocells, safety edges on the leading edge, loop detectors where vehicles stop, a manual release and an emergency stop, with closing force limited and tested to EN 12453 and EN 12445.

What is the best automatic gate company in Abu Dhabi?

It depends on your site, so judge any company on six checks: a survey before the quote, a written itemised scope, a motor or barrier sized to the job, safety devices and a manual release, an access method that fits your users, and a maintenance contract with a stated response time. Our comparison guide to gate barrier companies in Abu Dhabi sets these out beside other suppliers; Quicknet Computers meets all six and gives a free survey and a written quote.

How can I check that I am dealing with the real Quicknet Computers?

More questions

Additional FAQs · UAE Customers Most Often Ask

More answers about warranty, compliance, integration, response times and ongoing AMC support.

How fast does a gate barrier respond in an emergency?
AMC customers get 2-hour on-site response across Abu Dhabi, 4-hour across Al Ain. Spare motors, controllers and limit switches for BFT, FAAC, CAME, Nice and Magnetic Autocontrol are sourced on request, and emergency repairs are scheduled as quickly as parts allow.
Can the gate integrate with my villa intercom and smart home?
Yes. We integrate gate barriers with Akubela, KNX, Control4, video door phones (Hikvision, 2N, Akuvox), and CCTV — so you can answer the gate, see the visitor, unlock and trigger an 'arrival home' scene (lights, AC, music) from one app or panel.
Is ANPR (license-plate) integration available for gates?
Yes. Auto-detect resident/regular vehicles by license plate using Dahua, Hikvision or Milesight ANPR cameras feeding the gate controller. Guests use intercom or pre-booked QR code. Common for compound entries, MBZ City villas, and Mussafah industrial yards.
What's the typical warranty on gate motors and controllers?
BFT, FAAC, CAME and Nice motors carry 24-month manufacturer warranty. Magnetic Autocontrol barriers carry 24 months. Workmanship warranty: 12 months. AMC extends parts coverage to 5 years; parts are sourced per project.
Can a single fob / RFID card open multiple gates?
Yes. Compounds and multi-site customers use unified credentials — one card / fob / mobile app credential opens any authorised gate. Time-zone restrictions and per-user audit logs are standard. We integrate with biometric and visitor management for multi-tenant buildings.
Can I make my existing manual gate automatic?
Often yes. A sliding or swing gate that moves freely can usually be fitted with a motor, control board, remote and safety devices. The gate's weight, hinges or track, post strength and width decide the motor type and whether repairs are needed first. A site visit confirms what the existing gate can take.
What is a gate automation system?

A gate automation system motorises a sliding, swing or telescopic gate or a boom barrier and adds photocells, safety edges, remotes and access-control integration. Quicknet supplies, installs and maintains them in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain. Powered gates are designed with reference to EN 12453, with a manual release for power failures.

Do you install automatic gates and parking systems in Dubai?

Yes, on a project basis from our Abu Dhabi team, after a remote consultation and a scheduled site survey. Quicknet has no Dubai office. See automatic gates and parking systems in Dubai.

What is an auto gate?

An auto gate is an automatic gate: a sliding, swing or telescopic gate with a motor that opens and closes it from a remote or an access-control system. Quicknet supplies, installs and maintains auto gates in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain, with photocells, safety edges and a manual release for power failures.

How does a remote control gate work?

A remote control gate has a motor and control unit that open and close the gate when you press a remote. Photocells and safety edges stop the gate if something is in the way, and the same gate can also be linked to access control. Quicknet installs remote control gates in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain.

Do you install electric gates and electric gate openers?

Yes. Quicknet supplies and installs electric gates, meaning automatic sliding, swing and telescopic gates with their motors and openers, in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain, and maintains them under an annual maintenance contract.

Do you install villa gates, compound gates and security gates?

Yes. Quicknet supplies, installs and maintains automatic sliding, swing and telescopic gates and boom barriers for villas, compounds, car parks and industrial sites in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain, with photocells, safety edges, remotes and access-control integration.

What does a gate controller do?

The gate controller, or control board, is the unit that drives the gate motor. It takes the signal from the remote, the photocells, the safety edges and any access-control input, and opens or closes the gate. Quicknet supplies, installs and maintains gate controllers with automatic gates and boom barriers in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain.

Are automated gates the same as automatic gates?

Yes. Automated gates are automatic gates: sliding, swing or telescopic gates, or boom barriers, moved by a motor and controlled by a remote or access control. Quicknet supplies, installs and maintains automated gates in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain, with photocells, safety edges and a manual release for power failures.

Do automatic gates and barriers work in 50°C UAE summers?

Yes. Boom barriers open in 1.5-6 seconds, depending on arm length, with no manual operation needed, even in 50°C UAE summers. Quicknet recommends an annual maintenance contract so motors, photocells and safety edges stay in working order through the heat.

Do you install CAME and FAAC gate motors and barriers?

Yes. Quicknet works with CAME, FAAC, Magnetic Autocontrol, BENINCA, BFT and Nice gate and barrier brands and sources them through UAE distributors and official supply channels. Quicknet is not the manufacturer of any brand and does not claim exclusive authorised-dealer status for any single brand.

Can I add rising bollards to an automatic gate or barrier?

Yes. Rising bollards and road blockers can be added to a gate or boom barrier entrance for pedestrian-priority zones, restricted entries and anti-ramming protection. See rising bollards and road blockers in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
