If you are looking to upgrade your Property with better security and improved access control, automated gates are an essential addition.

Motorized gates make it easier for you and your family to pass in and out of your property with ease. Not having to stop and get out of your car to open or close gates helps to make your access safer and more convenient. It also heightens your control over who comes and goes on your property.

Types of Automated Gates

There are four basic types of electric gates, together with a variety of motors to operate them. The most popular type is the sliding gate, which opens and closes by sliding back and forth parallel to the fence. The second most popular is the swing gate. This type can consist of either a single or double gate, with a motorized arm that pushes or pulls the gate to allow or restrict access. Less common choices are the vertical lift and folding gates. Vertical lift gates rise to allow access, and descend to close the accessway. Folding gates consist of two hinged panels that fold into each other to open the entrance.
