A Guide to Access Control Mounts for Gates, Doors, and Fences

Smart, Secure, and Seamlessly Installed—The GTS Innovative Way

Think about the first line of defense for your home, business, or facility. Is it the front door? The lobby? Not quite. In reality, security starts at the perimeter—your gates, fences, and exterior doors.

Whether it’s a residential driveway gate, a commercial loading dock, or an industrial facility fence, the real challenge lies in getting access control systems installed securely and effectively right where they matter most.

At GTS Innovative, we understand that access control isn’t just about what’s inside—it’s about keeping the wrong people out before they even get close. That’s where our precision-engineered access control mounts come in. With AccessMounts, we help you take control of every entry point, from storefronts to back gates, with mounting solutions designed for strength, durability, and seamless integration.

Let’s explore how the right access control mounting solutions can secure your gates, doors, and fences—while keeping the design clean and functional.

Why Mounting Matters: Beyond the Front Door

Access control for gates and doors has come a long way. It’s no longer limited to card readers outside office lobbies or keypads on warehouse doors. With the rising demand for perimeter security, access control systems are now being installed at:

✔️Driveway gates

✔️Fence perimeters

✔️Loading bay entries

✔️Side or service doors

✔️Rooftop entries

✔️Parking garages

✔️Gated community entrances

But with this expansion comes a new challenge: Mounting these devices safely and securely in outdoor or non-standard environments. And that’s exactly where specialized access control mounts become crucial.

The Role of Access Control Mounts in Securing Gates, Doors & Fences

Mounts may seem simple—but they’re one of the most important parts of your access control infrastructure. Without the right security system mounts, your readers, keypads, cameras, or intercoms could be exposed to damage, misalignment, or worse—tampering.

Let’s break it down:

✔️Structural Support: Strong mounts keep devices firmly in place—even on uneven surfaces like wrought iron gates or corrugated metal fences.

✔️Weather Protection: Outdoor mounting brackets for access control devices shield technology from rain, snow, sun, and vandalism.

✔️Device Positioning: Mounts allow for ideal placement at ADA-compliant heights and user-friendly angles.

✔️Aesthetic Integration: A quality mount enhances the installation appearance and complements the entryway.

✔️Longevity: Proper mounting helps extend the life of access control devices by providing a secure, stable base.

No matter where you’re installing—gate, fence, or door—GTS Innovative’s AccessMounts are built to meet the challenge.

Matching Access Control Mounts to Your Property Type: What to Consider

Every Property Has Unique Needs—Here’s How to Choose the Right Mount

Choosing the best access control mounts means understanding your property's physical layout, traffic patterns, and security risks. Here’s a quick guide:

Residential Properties

For homes, it’s all about blending security with style.

✔️Common Needs: Gate keypads, video doorbells, intercoms

✔️Mount Priorities: Think sleek, compact, and user-friendly—mounts that complement your design while staying practical for daily use, whether it’s for your family or visitors. Consider the height too—it should be convenient for everyone to use.

✔️Popular Mounts: Decorative post mounts that add charm, angled keypad mounts for easier access, or wall brackets that keep things tidy and functional.

Commercial Properties

Businesses have to prioritize efficiency, compliance, and durability.

✔️Common Needs: Card readers, intercoms, electronic locks—you need solutions that can handle high-traffic areas while staying secure.

✔️Mount Priorities: ADA compliance is non-negotiable, and durability is key for locations with a lot of foot traffic. Your mounts need to work reliably, day in and day out.

✔️Popular Mounts: Wall enclosures for sleek integration, pedestal mounts that hold up in busy environments, or double-device setups for multi-purpose access.

Industrial Facilities

When it comes to industrial sites, it’s all about toughness and reliability.

✔️Common Needs: Heavy-duty access readers, vehicle detection systems, and other robust security measures designed to manage larger-scale operations.

✔️Mount Priorities: You need mounts that are weatherproof, tamper-resistant, and built to handle the toughest conditions. It’s all about durability and safety here.

✔️Popular Mounts: Steel posts that stay rock-solid, fence brackets for versatile mounting options, and weather shields for extra protection against the elements.

GTS Innovative works closely with property managers, architects, and integrators to ensure each mount is the perfect fit—functionally and visually.

Real-Life Installations: AccessMounts in Action

Residential, Commercial & Industrial Examples

To show how these mounts work in real-world settings, let’s look at a few use cases across different property types:

Residential: Driveway Gate Access in a Gated Home

Challenge: Install a secure keypad for automatic gate entry that doesn’t look clunky or stand out against an elegant wrought iron gate.

Solution: A powder-coated steel gate access control mount with a minimalistic design, angled for optimal driver access. The unit blends with the gate’s finish and includes waterproof sealing.

Commercial: Secure Side Door Entry at a Retail Chain

Challenge: Equip employee-only side doors with RFID card readers and intercoms, while keeping a professional appearance.

Solution: Dual-device access control mounting solutions were used, including flush wall-mount brackets and weatherproof shields to protect electronics from daily exposure.

Industrial: Fence-Mounted Access at a Logistics Facility

Challenge: Provide access control to the truck yard perimeter via a 12-foot chain-link fence with no nearby building surfaces.

Solution: Heavy-duty fence access control systems included pole-mounted brackets with built-in wiring channels and tamper-resistant screws for rugged, long-term use.

In each case, AccessMounts made it possible to place access control devices exactly where they were needed—securely, stylishly, and without structural compromise.
