FAQs - EAS Gates


What’s the difference between RF and AM security gates?

RF (like Checkpoint) and AM (like Sensormatic) both use radio signals to detect security tags at the store exit. AM tends to perform better around metal
fixtures and in certain noisy environments, while RF offers more flexibility in tag shapes and sizes. Both can be highly effective — it’s about choosing what works best for your store layout and products.

How far apart can I install security pedestals?

It depends on the system and the tag type. A standard RF system can often span 1.6 - 1.8 metres between pedestals, while AM can sometimes reach further. Newer designs, like mono-pedestals, don’t even require cables between units, giving you more freedom in door layouts.

DoI have to run cables through the floor?

With traditional systems, yes — cables link the pedestals under the floor or through the ceiling. But modern solutions like the Pillar RF have all the electronics built into each pedestal, so there’s no need to cut floors or chase cables, which is perfect for mall stores with fit-out restrictions.

Can security gates work with frameless glass doors?

Yes, as long as the gates are positioned correctly. Slimline pedestals or wall-mounted antennas work brilliantly behind glass without spoiling the clean look. Some systems even offer wall-mount options so you don’t touch the flooring at all.

Will security pedestals suit my store design?

Absolutely — there are now sleek, minimal designs in both AM and RF that blend into modern interiors. EAS gates can even be branded to complement your fit-out rather than detract from it. Be sure to mention security pedestals to your retail architect early in the design process so they can position them without obstructing customer pathways.

What’s involved in installing a new EAS system?

A technician will survey your store, recommend RF or AM based on your environment, and then install the pedestals at the entry/exit points. If you choose a cable-free design, installation can be as simple as fixing the pedestals in place and plugging them in — no invasive building work needed.
