Automatic Iron Gates are a perfect solution for heightening the security of your home. A period home is often found with iron gates of grandeur at their entrance, the gates being heavy to swing open and closed, and almost impossible to manoeuvre in the wind and rain. There are many different solutions to your gating problems, and these can include automating your existing gates and replacing them with a modern alternative.
Replacing your gates can be expensive, and unless your gates are rusted beyond repair, adding brand new wrought iron gates to your property is simply a bad economical choice. Your existing gates can be made to open automatically, there being a wide range of opener options available that will allow your gates to swing or slide. Whatever manual mechanism is present on your existing gates, this mechanism can be made to become automatic. Gate openers available at http://www.elex-gates.co.uk/automatic-gates-bristol/ can put a stop to you having to battle with heavy iron every time you come home, and an automatic closing system will also heighten the security of your property.
Once you have driven through your gates, they will simply shut and lock behind you, allowing you to stay in your vehicle all the time. Intercom systems can be fitted onto your gate system, allowing you to open and close your driveway to visitors at the touch of a button from within your home. This is extremely convenient, and can save you many hours of time every year.
