Frequently Asked Questions
How do automated gates improve security?
Automated gates significantly improve property security by controlling who can enter and exit the premises. Unlike manual gates, which can be left open or unlatched, automated gates return to a closed and locked position after each use, removing the risk of accidental access. They can be integrated with intercoms, cameras, and access control systems to allow the property owner to verify visitors before granting entry. For commercial properties, automated gates can be programmed to restrict access to authorised personnel only, logging entry and exit activity. For residential properties, they provide peace of mind by creating a controlled boundary that deters opportunistic intruders and keeps children and pets safely contained.
Are automated gates safe for families with children and pets?
Yes, when correctly installed and properly maintained, automated gates are safe for families with children and pets. Modern gate systems are fitted with safety features including photo-eye sensors and pressure-sensitive edges that detect obstructions in the gate's path and stop or reverse the movement to prevent injury. It's important to ensure these safety features are functioning correctly at all times and that the gate is serviced regularly. Children should also be taught not to play near automated gates or attempt to ride them as they open and close. A reputable gate installer will ensure all relevant safety devices are fitted and tested as part of the installation process.
How much maintenance do automated gates require?
Automated gates require regular maintenance to keep both the mechanical and electrical components functioning reliably. The gate tracks, hinges, and rollers should be cleaned and lubricated periodically to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation. The motor and control systems should be inspected by a qualified technician at regular intervals to check for any signs of wear or electrical issues. Safety sensors and auto-reverse mechanisms should also be tested regularly to confirm they are working correctly. The frequency of maintenance depends on how often the gate is used and the environment in which it operates. A well-maintained automated gate system can provide many years of reliable, trouble-free operation.
