Case study
Barrier installation at Searles Leisure Resort

Working a short drive from our West Lynn base, Avanti Doors supplied and installed a new FAAC automatic barrier, completed and handed over to the resort team in July 2026.

- Safety photocells and induction-loop vehicle detection across the entry lane
- Warning lights and signage, with power and communication cabling installed and terminated
- Earthing and bonding verified, with insulation-resistance and continuity testing carried out
- Control settings configured, then full commissioning — open/close cycles, safety devices, emergency stop and vehicle detection
- Handover to the resort team with operation and maintenance manuals and commissioning/test certificates
Why it matters for the site
- Controlled vehicle access at the point where guests, caravan movements and deliveries all arrive
- A reliable, purpose-built barrier in place for the peak holiday season
- Installed by a local Norfolk team — Hunstanton is around 30 minutes from our West Lynn base
- The same team is available for servicing and reactive support going forward
