Many businesses and homes are often looking for ways to make their residence more secure and electric gates are one of the best ways to do this. When you have decided you want to install these, it can feel a bit of a minefield trying to decide which are right for your needs. We have put together a simple guide to the different types of electric gates for you to make the most informed decision…
Swing Gates
Swing gates are a more cost-efficient solution to your security needs than other forms of gate. Installation is simple and they don’t usually require the same mechanical technique as others. You can get them in automatic and manual depending on your preference and they can be programmed to open and close at certain pre-designated times.
Sliding Gates
If your property is on uneven ground, the best option for you would probably be sliding gates. These come in either automatic or manual operation depending on your preference. They are best for properties with steep inclines, gravel driveways, grass or harsh weather environments as you don’t have to worry about them swinging open dangerously if there are gale force winds.
Bi-Folding Gates
Bi-Fold gates are a good choice if you have less space for a full-length swing gate to open, or if continuous access to the property is required. They are perfect for privacy as they can be manufactured in a range of heights and widths and can be made from a host of materials such as wood and galvanized steel.
Wrought Iron Gates
Wrought Iron gates are another form to protect your property and also add a historical feel to the place. They create a great first impression to any visitors and can also add value to your property. The advantages of these gates are that they are very strong, durable and secure and can be placed at the front of any type of property.
