400 Series – Off‑the‑Shelf Domestic Control Cabinet System
Simple. Reliable. Customisable. Built for domestic swing gate automation.
The Control 101 400 Series is an off‑the‑shelf control cabinet system designed specifically for domestic automated swing gate installations. It provides installers with a fast, reliable, and cost‑effective solution while still offering the flexibility to customise the cabinet to suit the job.
The 400 Series is available in two versions — 400A and 400B — and each model can be supplied in either a mild steel enclosure or a glass‑reinforced polymer (GRP) enclosure, depending on the site requirements. What makes the 400 Series stand out is its customisable mains circuit, giving installers the ability to tailor the cabinet without the complexity of a fully modular platform.
This makes the 400 Series ideal for domestic installations where simplicity, reliability, and clean wiring are essential.
