📷 Hurricane Season Is Here. Is Your Facility Ready?

When severe weather approaches, most facilities focus on windows, generators, and emergency supplies—but automatic gates are often overlooked.

High winds can place tremendous stress on gate systems. In hurricane conditions, gates can act like sails, putting excessive strain on operators, hinges, rollers, tracks, and supporting structures. If not properly secured, gates can become damaged or even create additional safety hazards during a storm.

Before a storm arrives, facilities should inspect gate systems, test backup power, verify access control functionality, and secure gates that may be exposed to high winds. Properly tying down and securing gates can help reduce damage and improve the chances of returning to normal operations more quickly after the storm passes.

FDC can assist with hurricane preparedness, including gate inspections, securing gate systems, tying gates down before major storms, and post-storm repairs if needed.

Don't wait until a hurricane warning is issued. FDC provides commercial gate service, access control maintenance, parking systems support, and perimeter security solutions throughout Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, Melbourne, and across Florida.

Stay prepared. Stay operational.

How to know if your perimeter hardware is being neglected

Perimeter hardware often gets overlooked until something stops working, but there are usually visible signs of neglect long before that happens. At FDC, we help owners and managers look beyond whether a system technically works and focus on whether the hardware is being maintained well enough to protect long-term performance, safety, and security.

What’s the biggest mistake facilities make with gate systems?
Choosing the wrong gate type or operator for their traffic level—this leads to constant breakdowns and unnecessary repairs.

How can facilities improve security without slowing down operations?
By combining automated gates with smart access control, you get both security and efficiency.

How often should commercial gates and access systems be serviced?
At least 2-4 times a year, especially in high-use environments, to prevent costly downtime.

Physical controls help protect what matters most. Gates, barriers, access control, turnstiles, revolving doors, and perimeter systems all play a role in reducing risk and controlling access at commercial and industrial properties.

What’s the most overlooked part of a commercial property’s security setup?

The gate
The entrance
The access control system
Or the perimeter itself?

We’d love to hear your take.

Every day in America, vehicles crash into structures 60+ times — and without proper gates and crash-rated barriers, your facility could be next. Over 15,000 acts of vandalism, theft, and sabotage hit critical infrastructure in the past year. Public concern is high — over 75% of Americans think vital infrastructure sectors are vulnerable. Vehicle-ramming attacks are a documented real threat — crash-rated gates are part of a modern defense strategy.

Airports, Aerospace, Correctional Facilities, Government Buildings, Military Bases, Power Plants and Substations.
