Commercial Gate Replacement Northamptonshire – Project Overview
This Commercial Gate Replacement Northamptonshire project was delivered by Manor Interior Solutions at Exeter Learning Community in Corby. The school required the replacement of an old, unreliable sliding gate with a new, fully automated and compliant system to strengthen site security and improve daily access control.
Educational environments need reliable solutions that balance safety, accessibility, and security. This installation demonstrates how our commercial gate replacement service provides practical and long-term improvements for local facilities across Northamptonshire.
Scope of Works
The project included:
Removal of the existing manual gate and concrete base
Installation of a new automated sliding gate system suitable for high-traffic use
Integration of advanced safety sensors and emergency stop features
Full electrical connection and testing
Final commissioning, certification, and operator handover
The works were planned around the school’s operational hours to minimise disruption, with strict adherence to health and safety and safeguarding requirements.
Our Approach
Manor Interior Solutions partnered with LZ Automated Systems, specialists in electric and sliding gate installations. Led by Laurence and his team, LZ Automated provided expert technical delivery, ensuring the system met all current safety and automation standards (BS EN 12453).
By combining our project management expertise with LZ’s specialist installation skills, we achieved a seamless result — a robust and compliant commercial gate replacement in Northamptonshire designed to perform reliably for years to come.
