Gate Installations for Residential Properties

Electric or automatic gates are becoming a popular choice for both homes and businesses, as they offer easy usage, improved security, and aesthetic appeal. Customize your gate to complement your property by selecting from a wide range of materials such as wood, iron, fiberglass, aluminum, or others. Wrought iron gates provide both security and beauty, and steel or metal security gates can be fabricated to match any home style.

Residential entry gates can also be designed and fabricated with wood or wood inserts that are durable, beautiful, and provide additional privacy. Choose from existing designs or have a gate custom-made to your exact specifications. It’s important to note that when it comes to automatic entry gates, the key is to not only automate the gate but to create a reliable, long-lasting, and safe automated system.

 

What are the Different Components of an Automatic Gate

When selecting an entry gate system, it is important to consider not only the design of the gate itself but also the costs associated with customization and fabrication. Factors such as different components and functionality should also be taken into account. For example, posts should be installed in a concrete footer that is properly deep and bell-shaped at the bottom to ensure stability. The concrete footers must also be below the frost line to prevent the posts from becoming loose over time.

The quality of the hinges also plays a role in the gate’s functionality and longevity. Hinges that allow for smooth manual operation will reduce wear and tear on the operating equipment. It is worth looking into reputable brands such as Shut It Gate Hardware for high-quality hinges. The material and design of the gate also impact the gate’s aesthetic qualities. Options include wood, iron, fiberglass, aluminum, steel, and combinations of these materials. The size of the gate and its intended functions will also determine the types of mechanical options that are necessary. Additionally, various entry systems and components can be implemented to provide added security.

Driveway gates primarily operate in two ways: by swinging or sliding. The majority of residential driveway gates opt for the swinging option as it requires less space beside the driveway. However, if space allows, an automatic sliding gate may be a viable option, despite the higher cost. The cost of an automatic sliding gate varies based on factors such as size and style of the gate.

The Different Types of Sliding and Swing Gates

Slide V Track is the most common and reliable slider and comes with many different options. However, in areas with significant amounts of ice and snow, it may not be the best option. It also requires additional space on each side.

This option offers cost-effectiveness and the convenience of being able to switch from manual to automatic operation. However, like other sliding gates, it requires additional space on either side. It may not be as visually appealing as other options, and it is important that the installer has knowledge and experience with the specific characteristics of this gate.

This user-friendly option is ideal for situations where the gate needs to be suspended above the ground. However, it requires significantly more space than other sliding gate options.

Residential swing gate operators typically come in two forms: linear actuators and harmonic arms. Both offer automatic functionality, but differ in cost and durability. Linear actuators are mounted on the back of the gate post and are more affordable to purchase and install, but have a shorter lifespan and are more prone to damage from collisions. Harmonic arm operators are mounted on a solid surface behind the gate posts, and require welding for increased reliability. They have a longer lifespan, are rated for more daily cycles, and incur less damage from collisions, but are more expensive to install and require a larger installation space.
