The Problem: Your Gate Is a Double-Edged Sword
Gates keep your property secure, but in an emergency, they can also become a serious liability. Here is what you need to know:
- Block firefighters, police, and ambulances from reaching you fast
- Cause costly damage if responders have to force entry
- Leave you helpless if you are not there to open it remotely
- Create liability if delays worsen the outcome
Apollo Gate Openers are compatible with the emergency access tools you need, so you do not have to choose between security and safety. You can have both.
Emergency Solutions for Apollo Gate Openers
Knox Box
Store your Apollo manual release key or spare remote inside a Knox Box mounted on your gate or building. Emergency responders unlock it with their universal key to manually release your gate.
How it works:
- Place your Apollo spare key or remote inside the Knox Box
- Mount the box on your gate or exterior building wall
- Emergency personnel unlock it with their universal Knox key
- They manually release your gate to gain entry
Siren Sensor
Connect a siren-activated sensor to your Apollo opener. When emergency sirens are detected nearby, your gate automatically opens, no remote, keypad, or manual access needed.
How it works:
- Siren sensor is installed near your gate opener
- Sensor detects emergency vehicle sirens in the area
- Signal is sent directly to Apollo's control board
- Gate automatically opens, hands-free, no delay
Battery Backup
Power outages happen during emergencies. Battery backup keeps your Apollo gate opener running so your emergency access systems stay operational when you need them most.
How it works:
- Battery backup is connected to your Apollo control board
- When power is lost, system automatically switches to battery
- Gate remains operational during the outage
- Apollo system returns to grid power when restored
