Automation convenience

We realise it’s a first world problem; but no-one enjoys having to get out of the car in the pouring rain or dark evenings to manually open their gates.

Here's just a few points on the benefits of automation:

Automated gates provide security

The level of security that automated gates can bring is often invaluable to many homeowners. Automated gates have irreversibly geared motors which make it exceptionally difficult for a burglar to force them open. As automated gates are so notoriously tough to force open they act as a deterrent to burglars.

Automated gates are convenient

Automated gates make entering and leaving your property exceptionally easy. Using the controller you can usually activate them from up to approximately 20 metres away. No longer will you have to leave your car to open the gates whilst being battered by the winds and rains so common in this country! An additional controller within the home allows you to open the gates for visitors to enter. Many electric gates are also supplied with more than one remote which is perfect if you have multiple cars and need to keep a remote in each.

Automated gates are robust Automated gates are available in a huge variety of materials and this ensures you are able to purchase a gate suitable for the level of security that you require. Metal is the most popular choice of material when it comes to automated gates because it is tough, waterproof and doesn’t rust when galvanised. Furthermore, they do not need the upkeep that wooden gates do. A well looked after automated gate will last for many years and despite being run on electricity, automated gates are safe to use in any weather conditions.

Automated gates look exceptional Automated gates bring a unique look of grandeur to your home. They’re often wide and tall, swinging open to reveal your property. They are available in a huge variety of materials, styles and sizes so there is no doubt you will be able to find one that suits your home as well as your tastes. A sliding gate can suit a home that has limited space and many companies are now able to automate existing gates you have at your home.

The cost of automated gates Automated gates are available at prices which may seem costly, but can pay off in the long run when you consider the loss caused if your home were to be burgled. The cost depends mostly on whether you are automating an existing gate or the type of gate you are having installed.
