What Are Electric Gates?
Home security is more important now than ever before. A gate at your property’s edge is the initial sign of security. Electric gates can provide a strong message and practical security that classic latch gates cannot provide. The gate itself is the structure and the gate operator is the mechanism by which the gate swings/slides open. Some gate mechanisms are operated from outside the property or inside the property for an added layer of personalized security. The Austin electric gates provided by Capitol Fence can provide you with what you need.
Swing Gate
The swing gate is a gate attached by posts and hinges that swings open when the gate operator is used or triggered. Some refer to it as a hinge gate. Commonly seen on residential properties due to their practicality, the swing gate can provide the security you need.
Along with practicality is the cost effectiveness of the swing gate as they tend to be cheaper than most other electric gates. Capitol Fence can help ensure the gate is properly calibrated so that cars are not damaged by the moving gate.
Slide Gate
The slide gate or “rolling gate” is also commonly used on residential properties and often paired with a keypad to get in or out of a property. Slide gates use rollers on the bottom to help it easily glide open and shut.
Commercial Gates
Commercial properties tend to use overhead gates, barrier systems, motorized lift gate systems; often seen in parking lots, airports, anywhere speedy entrance or exit is essential and lastly, manual lift and swing gates.
