Even if your home in the Austin area is fenced, how secure is your driveway? Installing Austin automatic driveway gates is one of the best ways any homeowner can guarantee controlled access to their property.

 

What Automatic Driveway Gates Do

Automatic driveway gates are motor operated so that the gates open and close, either by sliding from left to right, or swinging open and closed. When automatic gates are installed, you have the choice of a variety of options, including electric eyes, cameras, video screens and range extenders. You can even operate its opening and closing conveniently from a smart phone app.

 

Gate Options: Sliding or Swing

A sliding gate pulls back along a bottom track and moves next to the fence line when opened. To eliminate having to install a track in the driveway, a cantilever system can be used. When a vehicle approaches the driveway, gate operators, discreetly located on the side of the gate or behind a pillar, slide the gate to create enough space for the vehicle to pull onto the driveway.

A swing gate allows the gates to open much like an interior door in your house does. Swing gates can be one large door panel or two bi-parting gates that swing open. This style is very suitable for properties with an abundance of space. The gate operators can easily be placed on the gate itself or on a concrete pad.

 

Controlling Access

Controlling access to your property using Austin automatic driveway gates is almost unlimited, depending upon your budget. Some gate units can be operated with a control unit similar to a garage door opener, while others respond to a sensor positioned on the ground, opening and closing the gate doors depending upon the movement of the approaching car. Homeowners may want to consider using card access and keypads, systems commonly reserved for commercial gate operation.

 

Choosing the Right Automatic Driveway Gate System

Selecting the right automatic driveway gates for your property involve a number of factors. One is the amount of space available at the driveway’s end. Another is how your want the gate to open, either in a sliding or swing fashion. The slope of your driveway can influence which type of gates will work most efficiently.
