The basics
What is gatehouse security?
Gatehouse security means placing a trained, SIA-licensed officer at the entrance to your site to decide who and what comes in. The officer checks drivers, vehicles and visitors against your rules, issues passes and keeps a written record, so nothing enters or leaves without a check.
A gate officer is often the only person who sees every vehicle. Good access control security stops theft, keeps unauthorised people off site and gives you a clear log if something goes missing. Many clients add out-of-hours gate cover or a security dog team at night.
