Securing Public Access with Confidence

From fire stations and police garages to municipal maintenance facilities, government buildings require high-security access control, vandal-resistant equipment, and reliable operation under strategic budgets. GDI’s operators integrate with building management systems, endure daily high-cycle use, and ensure essential services never stop running.

Designed for government facilities, public works depots, EMS bays, courthouses, and transit garages, GDI’s commercial overhead door operators support card access, door position sensors, and fire panel interlocks. Weather-sealed enclosures and industrial drives deliver dependable 24/7 uptime in Canadian winters and North American heat.

  • Access control ready: connects to keypads, card readers, badge systems, and PLC/BMS.
  • Public safety focused: fast cycle, manual release options, and battery backup for outages.
  • Durable build: tamper-resistant housings, sealed wiring, and corrosion-resistant hardware.
