A safety feature of both commercial and well as domestic properties is a perimeter fence or wall. As well as ensuring you know where the boundary of your property lays a fence or wall will stop people from trespassing your property. Your fence or wall will include an opener of some sort, gates being used once again for both domestic and commercial properties. When choosing a gate, an electric sliding gate has many advantages over traditional manual gates.
Electric Sliding Gate for Space
A sliding gate, whether manual or electric will save space when used as opposed to a swing gate. As long as you have enough room to the side of your gate as the width of the gate itself, opening and closing your gate will take up no room. What this means is that you can park right up to your gate whilst you wait for it to open, and you can also park more than one car on your driveway without worry about having to cram your cars in before shutting the gate.
Safety
Electric gates are a far safer option than manual gates. Asides that they will open and close much more quickly, they will all stop you from having to step down from your vehicle at all. Depending on the electric sliding gate system that you choose you may choose to combine it with a home surveillance or commercial CCTV system. This type of arrangement will allow for your gates to be opened and closed from a remote access point. Before opening the gate, you will be able to check who is at the entrance to your premise or at the end of your driveway without having to go and physically check.
Sliding gates are also a far safer option than swing gates in the fact that there is little or no danger or getting hit by the gate. Swing gates have force behind them, and when they are manual they can be extremely tricky to manage when it is windy. An electric sliding gate will perform its task in all weathers, and with maintenance it will never let you down.
When choosing an electric sliding gate system for your domestic or commercial premise it is important that you choose a reputable installer who will also maintain your gates for you. You can carry out maintenance such as lubricating the sliding mechanism. All other maintenance should be left to the professionals.
In the case that your electric gate system stops working, or gets stuck due to a power failure, call in your gate repair specialists. Trying to fix your own gates could mean that the warranty would no longer be valid, or that you do more damage than good. Any parts that need to be replaced should also always be replaced with reputable parts of the highest quality.
