When it comes to the variety of entry systems available for your home an electronic driveway gate
is the safest, most secure option. Driveway gates, especially when used in conjunction with
fencing leave your home sheltered; not only does it keep people out but it helps to keep them in
as well. This is particularly useful when living with small children and pets. Using an entry
gate and fencing helps by not granting access to your home and loved ones without proper
authorization.
There are several things to consider when looking to purchase and install a gate for your
driveway. One of the first things to think about is the size of the driveway and therefore the
size of the gate needed. The size of your driveway gate must not only allow for entry of your
personal vehicles but must also take into consideration the size of delivery trucks and emergency
vehicles. Adding space to accommodate larger vehicles will also give extra space to help
eliminate accidents and mishaps associated with the entry gate.
Consider also if you are looking to use the gate via manual entry or automatic entry. Automatic
gates are more cost effective ever with the upgrades in technology. The ability to use solar
power to control the gates operating system makes automatic gates less expensive to operate. This
in turn means more homeowners are adding gate operators and electronic entrance systems to
existing and newly installed entry gates.
Automatic entry gates can be accessed using a variety of controls including wireless keypads,
hard wired keypads to transmitters, cellular access, manually operated switches as well as remote
entry. Access controls are chosen to best suit the client's needs. The most important part is
that the entry program is user friendly while providing security and meeting the end users
requirements.
Next is the choice of the gates operating control system, otherwise known as the gates operating
design. There are three choices; swinging gates, sliding gates and barrier gates. All three
options are designed to function a bit differently but all serve have the same basic principal.
When it comes to a gate for your driveway sliding and swinging gates are the most common. Barrier
gates are more often used for commercial purposes. Residential gates that slide or swing are more
decorative and created to enhance the curb appeal of the home and become a part of the landscape.
Automatic, aluminum driveway gates are not only affordable and easy to use they are becoming a
common way to create a secure barrier to your home. Check online for local fence and gate
