Fortis Fire & Security Now Officially Registered with Gate Safe UK

Becoming a Gate Safe registered installer marks another major step in our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest safety standards in the fire and security industry. At Fortis Fire & Security Limited, we are proud to announce that we are now formally recognised by Gate Safe UK, the leading authority for automated gate and barrier safety.

What Is Gate Safe UK?

Gate Safe is a nationally respected organisation founded in 2010 to raise safety standards across the automated gate industry. The accreditation ensures that installers and service providers follow strict, proven, and safe working practices when designing, installing, maintaining, or repairing automated gates and barriers.

This accreditation exists to prevent accidents, improve compliance, and ensure that all gate systems meet the required safety benchmarks.

What This Means for Our Clients

Becoming a Gate Safe registered installer reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, compliant, and reliable automated gate installations across the UK. Clients who choose Fortis can expect:

• Expert installation carried out under Gate Safe best-practice guidelines

• Reduced risk through improved safety assessments and documentation

• Compliance with current UK legislation and safety requirements

• Robust integration between automated gates, access control, and fire-safety procedures

• Preventive maintenance that ensures long-term safe operation of all gate systems

As both a fire safety and security specialist, we understand the crucial link between safe perimeter control and overall site protection. Gate safety must work seamlessly with fire-escape strategies, emergency access requirements, and building security — and this accreditation strengthens our capability to deliver exactly that.

Why Gate Safety Matters

Poorly designed or incorrectly maintained automated gates are not only inconvenient — they are dangerous. Safety failures can lead to:

• Injury or fatalities

• Legal liability for property owners

• Fines and enforcement action

• Reduced reliability and costly breakdowns

By choosing a Gate Safe registered installer, you ensure that every aspect of your automated gate system has been designed, installed, and maintained with safety at its core.
