Our Process
D-Fence "Turn-Key" process for installing an automatic gate or automated entry system will be professional, non-invasive, and generally takes no more than two weeks, including fabrication.
Our Process includes the following steps
-
Design Consultation
-
Project Installation
-
System Training and Turnover to You
Design Consultation
-
We discuss your specific needs and recommend a matching system to meet them. Each gate system is customizable depending on design requirements, gate system use, and access control requirements.
-
We present you with a preliminary estimate with state-of-the-art electronics.
-
After project approval, we can take your design, or your architect's design, or create a design for you.
-
We can produce original and custom designs.
-
We fabricate all gate designs in our shop.
-
Our installation crews install your gate and electronics, taking care to keep the site clean and tidy.
-
Our electricians wire everything up to electrical code and train you how to use your new system.
-
Our One (1) year warranty from our service department takes care of your gate.
-
We keep your gate running.
Project Installation
Our installation for an automatic gate, access control security system, wrought iron fence, or wood fence happens with you understanding every step as it happens. After a contract has been signed between you and our company outlining the scope of the project, we do the following:
-
Our office contacts you regarding a desirable start date and to advise you of our schedule.
-
During this time, a gate design is selected and signed off on by you.
-
We stay in contact to inform you of scheduling and design considerations.
-
A site layout is performed before breaking ground which you can participate in.
-
Our polite and professional crews start the project.
-
Any hurdles that may arise during the installation are gone over with you before any decision is made.
-
Our crew finishes the groundwork and one of our technicians follows with wiring and testing.
System Training and Turnover to You
The last step in the process involves what we call a “Customer Turnover”. During the turnover, our technician meets with you and goes over these important things:
-
Shows you the operation of all electronic devices.
-
Explains the working of the automatic gate system.
-
Programs remotes and any codes for keypads or telephone intercom systems.
-
Tests the operation of all devices with you present and explains how to program.
-
Demonstrates the functionality of safety devices; the photo sensors, and gate workings.
-
Shows you how to manually open the gate in the event of power failure or non-operational equipment.
-
Signs a copy of the customer turnover sheet along with you proving that the gate is in good working order.
-
Turn over keys and all paperwork such as product manuals.
