Types of Electric Gates We Install
We provide a range of electric gate types to fit different property layouts and security needs. Each gate style has unique features that affect how it opens, uses space, and integrates with automation systems.
Sliding Electric Gates
Sliding electric gates move sideways on a track, making them ideal for properties with limited space in front. They require a straight, clear area along the fence line for smooth operation.
We install gates made from metal, wood, or a mix, tailored to match your property's design. Sliding gates often include safety sensors and remote control options for easy and secure access.
This type is durable and works well for both residential and commercial areas. Maintenance involves checking the track and motor regularly to ensure quiet, effective movement.
Swing Electric Gates
Swing electric gates open by swinging inward or outward, similar to a door. They need more clearance space in the driveway or entrance to avoid hitting nearby objects.
We offer single or double-leaf swing gates, depending on the width needed. These gates use hydraulic or mechanical operators that provide smooth, reliable opening and closing.
They are popular for their classic look and straightforward installation. Our swing gates can be equipped with keypads, intercoms, or remote controls to enhance security.
Overhead Electric Gates
Overhead electric gates lift vertically to open, saving space both inside and outside the property entrance. They are often used in garages or narrow driveways.
Our overhead gates are built with strong materials designed for frequent use. The lifting mechanism is quiet and energy-efficient, with safety features like auto-stop if something blocks the gate.
We customize these gates to fit high or low entrances, focusing on ease of use and durability. Overhead gates are a good option for spaces where side opening isn’t possible.
Custom Electric Gate Solutions
We create custom electric gates to meet specific needs that standard designs can't. This includes unique materials, shapes, sizes, or extra security features.
Our team works closely with clients to design gates that blend aesthetics with function. You can include features like integrated cameras, advanced access controls, or decorative elements.
Custom solutions ensure the gate fits perfectly with your property's style and security level. We handle everything from design to installation, ensuring quality and reliability.
Electric Gate Features and Options
We provide electric gates with features that improve security, convenience, and safety. Our options help control who can enter, operate gates remotely, and ensure safe use around people and vehicles.
Access Control Systems
We install access control systems that limit entry to authorized users only. These include keypad entry, card readers, and biometric scanners.
Keypad entry lets you set a personal code for trusted people. Card readers work with key fobs or swipe cards for quick access. Biometric scanners use fingerprints or facial recognition for extra security. We can also integrate smartphone apps to give access remotely. These systems log entries, so you know who comes and goes.
Remote Operation and Automation
We offer remote control options that make gate operation simple. Use a remote key fob or smartphone app to open and close gates without leaving your car.
Automation includes timers and sensors that open gates when vehicles approach. You can set schedules for gates to lock and unlock automatically. These features improve ease of access while keeping your property secure. They reduce the chance of leaving gates open by mistake.
Integrated Safety Features
Safety is a key part of our installations. Our gates include sensors that stop or reverse gate motion if an object or person is detected. This prevents accidents. We install manual overrides that let you open gates in power outages. Emergency release mechanisms add another layer of security.
The materials and motors we use also meet safety standards to avoid unexpected failures during operation. We focus on protecting both users and property.
Maintenance and Repair Services
We help keep your electric gates working smoothly by offering regular check-ups and fast fixes. Our goal is to prevent problems before they start and fix any issues quickly when they happen.
Routine Maintenance
We perform regular inspections to check motors, sensors, and control systems for wear or damage. Lubricating moving parts and cleaning debris prevents gate jams and motor strain.
Our maintenance plans include testing safety features like photo eyes and emergency stop functions. This ensures your gate stays safe for everyone who uses it.
We can create a schedule based on your gate’s usage to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Catching problems early means fewer repairs and longer life for your gate.
Emergency Repairs
If your gate stops working suddenly, we respond quickly to restore access. Our technicians diagnose the problem whether it’s electrical, mechanical, or related to the control system.
We keep common replacement parts on hand so repairs are faster and less disruptive. This includes motors, circuit boards, remotes, and safety devices.
Our team works to fix gates without causing further damage or needing a full replacement. We also inform you clearly about needed repairs before starting work.
