Safety devices protect people, children, pets and vehicles around automatic gates and doors. A gate without them can cause serious injuries, so they should be part of every installation, including older gates that were fitted without them.
Zenitrix installs, tests and upgrades photocells, safety edges, loop detectors, warning lamps and emergency stops on gates, barriers and doors.
Safety devices we fit
Photocells
An invisible beam across the opening stops or reverses the gate if something blocks it.
Safety edges
A soft edge on the gate leaf senses contact and stops the movement.
Loop detectors
A loop in the ground detects a vehicle and keeps the gate or barrier from closing on it.
Warning lamps and signs
A flashing lamp and clear signs warn that the gate is about to move.
Emergency stop and manual release
Allow quick shut-off and hand operation in an emergency.

Areas we serve
Frequently asked questions
Are photocells necessary on a sliding gate?
They are strongly recommended, along with safety edges, so the gate stops when something is in its path.
Why does my gate keep reversing?
Dirty or misaligned photocells and loose edges are common causes. A technician can clean and realign them.
Can I add safety devices to an old gate?
Usually yes, if the controller has inputs for them. We check this on site.
How often should safety devices be tested?
Regularly, and always during servicing. An AMC schedules this.
Do loop detectors suit all gates?
They suit vehicle gates and barriers where a loop can be cut into the ground.
Can I control my gate from my phone or smartwatch?
Yes, with Wi-Fi, GSM or Bluetooth enabled controllers and a compatible app.
Do you repair gates and doors installed by other companies?
Yes. We service multiple brands. Send a photo or video of the issue on WhatsApp.
