Commercial Parking Lot Gates – Expert Installation & Repair

At Robert’s, we’re more than just garage doors – We have the expertise to install or repair manual and automatic commercial parking lot gates for your Chicago business.

While our commercial garage doors are competitively priced, we understand that a parking garage isn’t always the best solution for every business owner. The cost of constructing a garage may not be justifiable for some, but that doesn’t mean you can’t protect your vehicles.

Automated commercial parking lot gates offer an effective solution to secure your parking lot while providing easy access for your employees and customers. We can install a system that suits your needs, with access granted via keypads, remotes, or other access control systems.

The Importance of Parking Lot Gates

As a business owner, you might not think much about your parking lot, but it’s a crucial part of your operation. Your parking lot is the first and last thing customers, employees, and suppliers see when they visit your location. Making a good impression starts there, but beyond first impressions, here are ways the gates giving access to your parking lot are important to your business.

• Security: A securely installed parking gate helps protect everyone who interacts with your business. For customers, employees, and suppliers, these gates provide security both during and after business hours and help streamline access for visitors involved with your business.
• Reduced Liability: In many cases, our legal system will hold you responsible for accidents, vandalism, and other crimes that occur in your parking lot. A poorly installed or dated parking gate can be used to show that your business was negligent in providing adequate protection.
• Increased Property Value: A secured parking lot has the potential to significantly improve your property value. An attractive, new, and secure parking gate can greatly improve the appearance of your business, allowing you to justify a higher asking price if you’re looking to sell.
