What are swing gates?
Swing gates refer to any that open like the stereotypical gate: from a hinge and similar to a door. At Unison, our swing gates are not just large, heavy industrial gates for large company car parks, but also smaller swing gates that might stop school children getting on to the road during playtime or deter trespassers. A secure perimeter requires a method of getting in and out and a swing gate is the easiest, secure entrance/exit option.
