GDI Gates & Barriers

Gates & Barriers

For critical security points, you need gate operators as robust as your toughest industrial equipment—designed for years of uninterrupted performance.

Industrial Strength for High-Traffic Security Points

You wouldn’t install a budget restroom toilet in a stadium restroom—and you shouldn’t trust your critical entry points to anything less than industrial-strength automation. GDI gate and barrier operators deliver the performance, durability, and longevity needed for high-use, high-stakes environments. When downtime is not an option, choose GDI.
