Barrier arms are often the first access control point someone encounters when entering a property. While they all perform the same basic function of restricting access, barrier arms come with different caution colors, patterns and features to best fit with different applications.

While many barrier arms are the only access security at a property, others protect an additional gate or other security feature. Barrier arms provide gates enough time to close properly and prevent tailgating. They are also less expensive to replace than an entire gate if being hit by vehicles frequently is a concern.
