Benefits of RFID for Gate Automation

RFID technology transforms gate access control by offering seamless entry and robust security features. We see this advanced solution making a significant difference for both residential and commercial properties.

RFID tags provide unique identification for each vehicle or user, preventing unauthorized access to your property. Each tag contains encrypted data that can't be easily duplicated or tampered with.



Every entry and exit is automatically logged in real-time, creating a detailed access history for property managers to review. This digital trail helps maintain security protocols and investigate any incidents.

Enhanced Security Control

Property managers can instantly activate or deactivate RFID tags through our user-friendly software system. This makes managing access permissions quick and simple.


Users enjoy hands-free entry without stopping to punch in codes or use traditional keys. The system reads tags from several feet away, allowing smooth traffic flow during peak hours.

 Access Management

RFID systems reduce the need for security personnel at entry points, cutting operational costs while maintaining security standards.


The automated system operates 24/7 without human intervention, eliminating human error and ensuring consistent access control. Tags work reliably in various weather conditions, from rain to extreme temperatures.


We can integrate RFID systems with existing security infrastructure, including cameras and alarm systems, creating a comprehensive security network for your property.

RFID tag installation involves professional expertise and specialized equipment to ensure reliable access control for automated gates. Our team at Long Beach Electric Gates & Custom Metal provides comprehensive installation services tailored to various gate systems.

  • Can RFID tags be installed on any existing automatic gate?

    Yes, RFID readers can be integrated with virtually any existing automatic gate system. Our technicians can install RFID readers on swing gates, sliding gates, barrier arms, and other gate types regardless of age or manufacturer. The installation requires adding a reader unit and connecting it to your existing gate controller, typically without replacing your current gate hardware.

  • How far away can RFID tags be detected for gate entry?

    Our standard RFID systems offer reliable detection ranges of 10-15 feet, allowing convenient hands-free entry without stopping. For commercial applications, we also install long-range RFID readers that can detect tags up to 30 feet away. Range can be precisely adjusted based on your specific security needs and property layout to prevent accidental activations.

  • How long does RFID tag installation take for an automatic gate?

    For most residential gates, RFID reader installation takes 2-4 hours to complete. Commercial installations may require 4-6 hours depending on system complexity and integration requirements. Our technicians handle all aspects including mounting the reader, connecting to your gate controller, programming initial tags, and testing the system to ensure reliable operation.

  • How much does RFID tag installation cost for residential gates in Long Beach?

    Residential RFID system installation typically costs between $650-$950, including the reader, installation labor, and programming. Each additional RFID tag costs $15-$25 depending on type. Commercial-grade systems with enhanced features range from $1,200-$2,500. We provide free, detailed estimates based on your specific gate configuration.

  • How do RFID systems handle visitor management for commercial properties?

    Our commercial RFID systems include visitor management options such as temporary RFID tags with expiration dates, integration with intercom/camera systems for remote authorization, and digital logs of all entries. Property managers can issue time-limited credentials, track usage patterns, and receive notifications of unauthorized access attempts. The system can also integrate with visitor management software for comprehensive security control.
