Gate Automation...
Can you automate your existing gates?
Yes, but there are many factors to consider such as the strength and state
of repair of your gates and posts or pillars. One of the most important factors
is the hinge geometry as the automation equipment has strict parameters of
performance. Automating gates is a skilled task and you should always seek
professional advice.
The Benefits of Automatic Gates?
Security:
Security plays a large part in choosing to install an electric gate system
at either your home or business premises. Electrically controlled gates are
a much better deterrent to the opportunist, car thief or vandal. In conjunction
with a video or audio intercom, you can control who has access to your premises
from the safety of your home or office. You can effectively move your first
line of defence to your gateway rather than your front door.
Convenience:
Look at driveways with wrought iron or wooden gates. How many are left open?
If one of your reasons for installing gates was for security, you've wasted
your money if you can't be bothered to get out of the car to close them every
day.
Both metal and wooden gates can be very heavy and difficult to open and close
so automating them may be a necessity for some. For most people opening and
closing gates is nothing more than a nuisance unless you live on a busy main
road.
Freeing yourself from this chore has to be by far the most common reason for
installing automatic gates. Imagine coming home on a dark, stormy night. Now
imagine being able to open the gates from the comfort, warmth and safety of
your car and then close them safely behind you.
Practicality:
Talking of busy roads, do motorists use your driveway to turn their cars around
or worse park?
Do you have children and would you prefer to keep them safely behind your
gates and away from the road or people passing by?
What about your dog? You can have your gates close automatically behind you
so that you will never forget to close them and jeopardise your children or
your pets safety.
What type of system is best for me?
You have many options available to you, the decision
about which system to choose is partly aesthetic, partly about conditions
at the site and the size of your gates, partly, of course, cost. We can arrange
for site visit, to discuss the options with you and advise you on the best
option to meet your individual requirements.
