You Already Know What Kind Of Gates You Want For Your Business? Install Automatic Gates

 

After automating the gate, you will have greater comfort and more security, since it will not be necessary to get out of the car to open and close the gate, avoiding risks.

The automatic gate is not synonymous with wealth, it is not luxury, it is not vanity. It is a need for protection. In addition to the practicality and comfort on rainy or cold days, automatic gates can be used as an additional security strategy when a person arrives or leaves home.

Something to take into account in the automation of the gate is the opening and closing time of the gate, as it should be as fast as possible within the limits of each system.

Opening forms


The most common forms of opening are: sliding, lift and swing. There are other specific shapes that require special projects, but these are the most common. The decision should be made after considering several factors and it is advisable to consult an expert first.


Sliding doors are used in both residential and industrial applications. They maximize the top and side space of a garage but have the disadvantage that when sliding they occupy the same width of the gate on the sliding side. They have a long service life and their mechanism has a solid structure. They do not need an electromagnetic lock because the sliding gates already come with their own safety lock that is also used in the event of a power failure.


Counterweighted lifting gates are recommended when there is no lateral space available. They swing from counterweights and require an additional electromagnetic lock to provide additional security to the automatic equipment.


The swinging gates, very common in residential gates, are preferred for ironwork and decoration of residential and country entrances, but with a disadvantage: the system is the most fragile of the three. Two motors are required to open double-leaf gates. 


Manual or automatic opening


Gates can be opened manually or automatically. The most common way of opening and closing is through a remote control. There are several manufacturers of gate motor reducers that are available. If you want to automate the gate, choose a well-known brand and pay attention to the way it opens. Any gate can be automated, but you should know that automation does not solve the deficiencies in the movement and friction of the gate already installed. If it malfunctions manually, it will also malfunction automatically and you will unintentionally shorten the life of the geared motor equipment you install.


Standard or custom-made


Finally it is important to know if we are going to acquire a standard or custom made gate, it is usually thought that the costs are higher when they are made to order but they have the advantage of adapting perfectly to the space and way of opening desired, in Osceola Fence we offer fair prices so you save insurance with our service, if you want to install an electric gate please contact 773 4173107
