Customized Gates – Addressing the Top Buyer Concerns With the rise in insecurity and need for a more private and automated lifestyle, homeowners are now shifting to the automated gate systems. Selecting the right garage or gate door automation can be challenging if you are new to this smart gate system. There are three main systems for automatic gates; garage, pedestrian and driveway gate systems. The three have different methods of operation. In addition to selecting your auto gate based on the type, you also need to put considerations for the measurements (weight, height and length) of the preferred automated gate. How automatic gates work Automatic gates employ the use of electric motors for closing and opening a gate. The message to open or close the gate is relayed by a transmitter upon the command of the person operating it. There are two options for residential electric gates. You can either install the automation system on the existing sliding or swinging gate or you can opt for a complete automatic gate package. Unlike in the past when they were first introduced into the market, automatic gates have become much cheaper today and feature a variety of options. There are Do-It-Yourself automatic gate kits, and there are those that have to be installed professionally. Some of the options for automatic gates include; solar powered gates, single or double sliding gates, swinging gates with rising hinges, automatic gates with smartphone apps, automatic gates with keypad transmitters and behold gates. Automatic Gates Installation Requirements Although there are DIY gate automation kits, auto gates are more efficient and functional when installed by gate installation Fresno. People who are handy with electronic systems or are confident in their ability to follow the installation manual can go ahead and install the residential electric gates on their own. However, some problems that are bound to arise from automatic gates that have not been installed by professional automatic gate installers include: • Improper or incorrect sealing of the different parts of the gate making it susceptible to invasion by insects. • Incorrect installation of cables which may interrupt electrical supply to the gate. • Incorrect installation of sliding gate tracks making it easy for bumps in the tracks to stop the gate from properly functioning. These problems can lead to frustration in the use of the residential electric gates. Skilled installers are however capable of curbing these problems. How expensive are automatic gates?
