Manual Release Keys

We provide a range of manual release keys to choose from here at Gate Auto. Small but crucial tools, manual release keys enable you to open your gates in the event of a power failure or shutdown, or if an emergency situation occurs.

Automated gates can appear to stop working for a variety of reasons, including (but not limited to): blocked photocells, dirty or cluttered rails, or dead batteries. In some cases, the safety edges may be making contact with something, which will cause the system to immobilise the gates as a safety precaution.

Though they’re all relatively simple problems, and often not hard to fix, they’re also not always obvious immediately – and so manual release keys can be essential in unlocking the gates in the meantime, allowing people or vehicles to freely come and go until the issue is identified and resolved.

Their small size means that (much like normal house keys) they can be relatively easy to lose, which is why we take care to stock an extensive range of spares and replacements here at Gate Auto. Spare sets can also be useful to give to family members, or other people who may possibly require them.

If you’ve got any questions about any of our manual release keys, don’t hesitate to ask our team. Just give us a call on 01282 677 300, and we’ll be happy to help however we can.
