The cost varies and depends on what your needs are. Different types of automated gates include Swing Gates, Sliding electric Gates, Bi-Folding Gates, Barriers, Powered Doors, Roller Shutters and Bollards.
The installation of the right remote automatic gate can make your home a lot more appealing which will improve the resale value of your home. In addition to being a secure, functional feature to your property, an electric gate also serves as a sound investment.
One benefit of automated gates is that they are a lot more secure than a manual gate. Most electric gates can also be controlled from inside your house allowing you to give access to the people you want on your property. A door can also be installed next to the gate with a keypad for trusted pedestrians to use with your code.
All gates come with an electric key fob allowing you to open and close your gate remotely within a certain proximity of your property. This works in a similar fashion to a remote garage door.
The two main types of gate are the sliding electric gate and swing gate opener. The choice of gate really depends on your property type and driveway layout.
An electric sliding gate requires little room to operate as long as you have the space for the gate to slide.
A swing gate takes up a lot more space, there can’t be any obstructions on the opening side so that it can clearly open all the way. You also need to ensure you have enough space for cars whilst the swing gates are opening.
