My name is Dan Cone and along with my wife Cheryl founded C-Gate Entry Systems, Ltd. on April 1, 1995. The sole purpose of the new firm was to support fence installation firms and security companies on projects requiring automatic gate operators and access control equipment. These dealers were being asked by their customers to supply and install access control equipment. Many were not in a position to expand their current business by adding personnel, equipment and the ongoing training of sales and support staff that is required in this ever changing segment of the industry. C-Gate became what can best be described as an "installing distributor."
Dealer based distribution and installations: As an installing distributor, we set out to find the most reliable equipment available at a cost level that would make our dealers competitive. We built a staff of responsible installers, service technicians and office personnel. For our dealers, it was as if they had added staff and equipment without spending a dime. After reviewing a project with the end user, the dealer simply calls or faxes us the job site particulars and they receive a fax quote by which to estimate the project. Once the project is awarded, we send out wiring and layout diagrams for use by the end user's electrician and the dealer's setting crew. When the project is ready, we install and test the equipment. Ongoing service and preventive maintenance fill out the service. Mini-Storage: When C-Gate Entry Systems was founded, we agreed with our dealers that it was in everyone's best interest if we approached the mini-storage industry on a direct basis. As time went on, we were contacted by many owner's of mini-storage facilities because of our intense knowledge of access systems integration and willingness to expand our service radius. Our fence dealers were interested in the perimeter fencing, but were more than willing to turn over the "gate system" to us. As our reputation in the mini-storage field grew, we were approached on more and more projects. C-Gate Entry Systems currently services the mini-storage industry direct, unless brought into the project by one of our dealers. Our service range has expanded to include all of Ohio, the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, northern Indiana and western Pennsylvania. We are able to ship gates, operators and equipment packages anywhere in the country for installation by a local contractor or as a do-it-yourself project. End User (retail) sales: It was not the original intent of C-Gate Entry Systems to sell direct to the end user. Recently, we have carefully looked at the role of our dealers and ourselves with regard to end user sales. In many cases, the only work on a project is our work and in the interest of taking care of the customer, the dealer will tell us to do the job direct. While we continue to support the many dealers in our network, we have realized that in order to best serve the public, we must open our doors to them. Mission Statement: C-Gate Entry Systems, Ltd. is committed to being the preferred automatic gate and access control supplier in our market at both the dealer and the end user level. Our customers will benefit by receiving a high level of service, competitive pricing and ongoing support. This will be accomplished by supporting the manufacturers who supply us with the best products in the industry, constantly improving our skills and making it a pleasure to do business with us. We will put all available resources toward this end. Our Humble Home: Service Fleet: Fabrication Department: The steel for gates, panels, and posts is cut and fabricated. The welded panels are then cleaned and primer coated. Industrial enamel paint is then applied as the finish coat. Gates and panels are all welded construction. Inventory: Steel is in stock, ready to be made into gates and panels. Service Area: Our service area covers most of Ohio, the lower penninsula of Michigan, western Pennsylvania, and northern Indiana.
