These days, more and more Australians are embracing apartment living. Rising property prices have created a demand for such high density living in Australia. Safety is the priority for apartment residents, so security and access control are a key consideration for unit and apartment developers and builders. Unit, townhouse or apartment security gates provide a low-cost way to achieve peace of mind for these residents.
In apartment complexes, there is normally a high volume of traffic accessing the property during the day and night. By installing a security access control system and security gates, you allow the free flow of traffic, while at the same time protecting residents and their precious assets.
Types of security gates for apartments, units and townhouses
At Brisbane Automatic Gates we can design, build and install any type of gate for both residential and commercial properties. Our gates are all custom made, which means we can create the perfect access control solution for your site. Depending on the size and layout of the complex, we may recommend a sliding or swing gate to you. A boom gate may also be recommended as a security solution.

Sliding gates
A sliding gate is a good option for apartments, unit or townhouse complexes, as they can easily be automated. Sliding gates are made from one long section of gate that slides left and right when opened and closed. There needs to be ample room for the gate to retract when it is opened. Sliding gates are very safe and do not require a deep driveway, as is the case with swing gates. At Brisbane Automatic Gates, we custom build all our gates to meet your specifications.
Swing gates
Swinging gates are another great option for apartments and unit complexes. This style normally consists of two half-sized gates (i.e. double swing gates) that open and close via a swinging mechanism.
The benefit of swing gates is that you don’t need as much room at the front of your block, compared to sliding gates. You will, however, need a wider driveway to ensure the gates can freely swing to allow the easy passage of a vehicle. You will also need to ensure swing gates do not swing open onto a footpath or other high traffic area which could result in an injury and/or damage to the gate.
Boom gates
Boom gates are an excellent security solution for apartment and unit complexes due to their ability to efficiently regulate vehicle access and enhance overall safety. These gates provide a controlled entry point, allowing only authorised residents and guests to enter the premises, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorised access and potential security breaches.
By incorporating automated technology, boom gates offer seamless operation, minimising congestion and ensuring a smooth flow of traffic even during peak hours. Additionally, they can be integrated with advanced systems such as keycard access, remote controls, and number plate recognition, further enhancing convenience and security. The presence of boom gates not only deters potential intruders but also fosters a sense of exclusivity and privacy for residents, contributing to a more secure and comfortable living environment.
