Each customer is given a unique, unit specific Personal Identification Number (PIN) of their choice. This PIN opens the gate, de-activates the magnetic locks and disarms the alarm on the customer’s unit. This process is reversed upon exit.

A rugged, mid-rail reinforced steel palisade fence surrounds the site. The very latest hi-tech security including magnetic lock gates provides 100% peace of mind and denies any unauthorised access.
