Need Help?
One of the most important things to consider when you decide to automate your gate, is how to operate it, all electric gate systems can be operated by remote control, but how do your visitors access the gate.
Is it a gate that visitors actually need to access or operate, or is it a gate that only you and your close family ever use.
We strongly believe that an automatic gate working to suit your application is one of the best investments you can make for your convenience and more importantly your security, but give it no thought, or get rushed into an order and get it wrong, it quickly become a hindrance to your life and security.
Obviously you can add to any automatic gate system during or after installation, with a multitude of gate accessories, to make it work for you, but we simply recommend that customers take a few minutes to work out what suits them, questions such as:
1) How do we gain access: this one is easy isn't it ?, you have a remote control, but what if you go out on horseback, or walk the dog, do you carry a remote or do you hide a button, do you have a digital keypad ? etc.
2) How do our family members operate the gate: do you give them all a remote control, will your teenager come in late at night, after losing their remote control?
3) How does the postman, milkman and delivery person gain access: you could have a simple push button inside and outside the gate, it may only open the gate partially using the pedestrian button, it may be isolated at night time or when you are on holiday, if in doubt please ask us for advice.
4) Do we want the gate closed all day?
5) What time of night or day do we want to restrict visitors?
6) How do you secure the premises when you are away on holiday, but still gain access after that long flight and drive?
7) Do want to be able to drive up to your gate from the inside and the gate automatically opens, but you don't want this happening at 2 am, a unwelcome visitor could break into your car and then has the gate open for them?

Remote controls only (as many as you require).
Push button for entry & exit of the gate.
Push button either side of the gate for entry & exit, and an isolating timer, these push buttons would only be active at your chosen times, the remote controls would remain active 24 hours per day.
Digital keypad entry, push button exit.
Digital keypads either side of the gate, entry & exit.
Wireless intercom entry, push button or keypad exit.
Wireless intercoms with a built in keypad entry, push button or keypad exit.
