Professional Installation of Residential Gate Entry for Properties in Greenville

Automatic driveway gates provide both privacy and security for homes and businesses. They are equipped with vehicle detection devices that can detect vehicles near the gate and trigger a variety of actions such as opening the gate, reversing its movement, activating a keypad, or sending an alert.

In addition to providing security and privacy, automatic driveway gates can also add value to your property. With a wide range of materials and designs to choose from, you can customize the gate to complement your home or business. Whether you prefer a traditional wooden gate or a sleek metal gate, there is an option to suit your aesthetic preferences.

Moreover, various access control systems like telephone entry systems, intercom systems, card readers, and remote transmitters can be integrated to provide added security and convenience. With regular maintenance, automatic driveway gates can last for many years, making them a worthwhile investment for any property owner.

What Options Do You Have When it Comes to Residential Driveway Gate Installation?

 

Probes are devices that are embedded in the roadway or adjacent to it. While they are not typically used to reverse the gate, they are effective in triggering the gate to open. However, they are susceptible to damage from lightning strikes.

Optex vehicle sensors are installed on a post located near the side of the roadway.

A loop detector is often recommended as it uses a combination of a detector and a wire that is placed under the roadway surface. For asphalt and concrete roadways, the surface can be saw-cut and the wire inserted. For gravel roadways, a preformed loop detector with the appropriate rating is suitable.

A keypad is a device that allows the gate to be operated using a specific access code. Hardwired keypads are a good option if you prefer not to replace batteries, but wireless keypads are also effective and can have a battery life of several years, depending on usage.

Telephone or intercom systems can be installed for visitors or deliveries that need access. A traditional telephone entry system requires a phone line (shared or dedicated) to make the call. Cellular telephone entry systems are also available for locations with good cellular reception. Cellular systems tend to be more expensive, but maybe a more suitable option if installing a phone line is difficult. Additionally, cellular systems are less prone to damage from lightning surges compared to traditional telephone entry systems.

A dependable power source is essential for the proper functioning of an automatic gate entry and operation system. A dedicated electrical circuit (115v/240v) is typically the best option. If power is not accessible at the gate location, then a professional electrician will be necessary to install a new circuit. Solar power can also be used, but is less reliable than AC power. It is recommended to install solar panels in locations that receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. The choice of batteries and the number of batteries required is also an important aspect of a well-designed solar entry and operation system.

Safety options are a crucial aspect of any gate system.

  • Photo eyes are the most commonly used safety device for gates. They should be installed as close as possible to the gate to prevent pedestrians from getting trapped. They work similarly to garage door photo eyes.
  • A retro-reflective photo eye uses a powered device on one side of the road and a reflector on the opposite side, making for an easy installation, especially when running the wire across the road is difficult. However, this type of photo eye can be problematic in rainy or foggy conditions as the reflector may not be able to send a signal back to the main unit.
  • Safety Edge – A safety edge is another form of safety device which is an electronic rubber bumper that stops the gate if it encounters an obstacle. They are not frequently used on swing gates as they can detract from the appearance.
  • Emergency Services – It is a good idea to have an option for emergency personnel to enter the property without waiting at the gate. In most cases, a KNOX switch (a county-specific key switch) or a siren-operated sensor (SOS) can be installed.

 

The cost of residential driveway gate installation services varies depending on the type, style, and materials of the gate system.
