Automatic gates are an important security feature for any home or business, providing an effective barrier against potential intruders and other unwanted visitors. They offer greater protection than traditional gates, as they can be programmed to automatically open and close based on a variety of settings.
When choosing the right type of automatic gate for a property, there are many factors to consider such as the following:
The opening size is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing an automatic gate system. The opening size will decide what type and size of the gate should be installed. A larger opening may require a sliding or rolling gate, while a smaller opening can typically accommodate a swing arm style.
If you’re not sure which type of automated gate best suits your needs, our experts are always happy to provide guidance and advice on the right solution for your property. In addition to opening size, other important considerations include automation levels, design preferences, security features, cost, maintenance requirements, and more.
When installing an automatic gate, it is important to consider the available space and make sure there is enough room for the gate to open and close without obstructing any surrounding items or paths.
If your property has limited space, a swing arm gate may be the best option as it requires minimal installation area. With a swing arm gate, you only need enough space for the arms of the gate to swing out when opening.
Other types of gates may require more room before they can be safely installed and operated. Our expertise in automated gate systems ensures that we will always provide you with a solution that fits your individual needs and available space.
The weight of the gate is an important consideration when choosing an automatic gate. This will impact the size and strength of the motor needed for automation, as well as the type of posts that must be installed for proper mounting. A heavier gate requires a larger motor and stronger posts to ensure it opens and closes safely and securely.
When selecting an automatic gate, it is important to consider the speed of the opening and closing. Depending on the size and weight of your gate, you may require a slower or faster motor. Slower motors are best suited for heavy gates, while faster motors are ideal for smaller gates that need to open and close quickly.
The duty cycle of an automatic gate is also an important factor to consider when making your selection. The duty cycle indicates how often the motor will be used daily and should always be taken into account when choosing a system.
For example, if you expect your gate to open and close multiple times throughout the day, you must invest in a higher-quality motor with a high-duty cycle rating so that it can handle the additional use without wearing out too quickly.
The grade of your property is another key consideration when selecting an automatic gate system. Grade refers to the slope of the area surrounding the installation site. If there is a significant incline, you may need a stronger motor and special posts to keep your gate in place.
The type of gate construction is also an important factor to consider. Gate materials range from wood to aluminum to steel and more. Different types of materials require different levels of maintenance and vary in cost as well.
You should also consider the weather conditions when selecting an automatic gate system. Weatherproof motors and post materials are available to ensure your system can withstand wind, rain, snow, and other elements.
Finally, Electrical Power is an important factor when choosing an automatic gate system. The amount of power required depends on the size and weight of your gate as well as the type of motor used.
It is essential to ensure they remain in good working condition. Maintenance should be done regularly, and includes lubricating hinges, checking that the electric motor is functioning properly, and ensuring all bolts are tight.
Its maintenance is similar to that of Swinging Automatic Gates, with a few added steps. Maintenance of Rolling Automatic Gate Systems includes lubricating the tracks, inspecting for any damage to the wheels, and ensuring that all components are securely in place.
