What’s the Right Automatic Gate to Choose for Commercial Property?
Protecting your investment in your commercial property is very important, and understandably so. You want to keep the value of your property as well as provide security. At Capitol Fence of Austin, we can help with any type of automatic gates and installation you need for your business.
Different Types Of Security Gates
Security gates are designed to help the flow of vehicular traffic onto your property. Here are the common types of gates:
1. Slide Gates
With slide gates, there are a few different styles. The “V Groove” sliding gate is a more typically used gate as it opens moving to the side to allow traffic into the facility. It is also known as a “rolling gate”. This type of gate requires a higher need for maintenance.
2. Swing Gates
This type of gate is more like a heavy-duty door and opens in a 90-degree angle. It can swing in or out but can be dangerous if it isn’t manned due to the way it opens. You should have a monitor that shows the vehicle where to stop so it doesn’t get hit.
3. Vertical Lift Gates
These type of gates move up to open, much like a garage door. This is the most compact and space-efficient gate as it doesn’t require much room in front of or behind the vehicle.
