There are many advantages to automating your gate. Here are all the advantages of installing an automatic gate for private individuals, local authorities or businesses.
Why install an automatic gate?
Saving time and improving efficiency
One of the main advantages of automating a gate is the considerable amount of time it saves. You no longer need to get out of the car to open or close the gate manually, which is particularly useful when it’s raining or when you’re in a hurry. With a simple click on a remote control, you can control the opening and closing of the gate from a distance.
What’s more, automation also makes the process more efficient. The electric motors used in automated systems are designed to deliver constant, even power, ensuring that the gate moves smoothly without jerking or jamming.
Enhanced safety
Automating a gate also contributes to the overall security of the property. Automated systems are often equipped with an anti-intrusion function that detects any attempt at unauthorised access. Some models even offer the option of integrating video cameras so you can monitor the surroundings in real time.
What’s more, automatic devices can be programmed to lock automatically after each use, or to synchronise with an existing home automation system to create an overall security strategy.
Everyday comfort
Automating a gate brings undeniable convenience to everyday life. As well as no longer having to get out of your car in the rain, you can also control the opening and closing of the gate from inside your home or business. This is particularly useful when you’re entertaining guests or need to let bulky items in or out.
What’s more, some automated systems can be integrated with a mobile application, meaning you can manage your gate remotely from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Access to greater convenience is also a big plus for users.
Energy savings
Last but not least, one of the great advantages of an electric or automatic gate is the energy savings it offers. By programming the system to switch off automatically after a period of inactivity, you can avoid wasting unnecessary electricity. Some models can also be fitted with sensors or photocells that detect presence, reducing electricity consumption by operating the motor only when necessary.
