Automatic gates add to the value of a home and to its aesthetic too. They are considered the safer option and have therefore, become a popular choice for residential and commercial properties.

There are a number of automatic gates available on the market. To reap the most benefits from the system, you must choose one that fits your needs. Here are the main kinds of automatic gates available:

Sliding gates

Sliding gates are used when there’s hardly any space available for a traditional gate. These gates move parallel to the wall. The sliding gates are available in any side you need and their materials range from heavy to light depending on how often the gate is used.

Overhead gates

Roll up gates are useful for areas with high traffic. Apartment complexes, commercial buildings, and parking lots have overhead roll up gates. Once again, these gates range from heavy duty to lighter versions.

Swing gates

Such gates take up a considerable amount of space and have now been developed to function automatically. Tracks are laid out for the gates to move along on.

Bi-folding gates

Bi-folding gates are also commonly known as speed gates. These gates are quick to open and close, making them ideal for those who want superior security from their gates. It’s most commonly used for commercial property to limit access of individuals. Bi-folding gates are a great option for continual vehicular traffic like car parks, schools, and even banks. This kind of gate can also be designed to be aesthetically pleasing.

One concern about these gates is that they operate quickly and therefore, adequate training is necessary, especially when dealing with high traffic.

Telescopic gates

Telescopic gates are similar to sliding gates; they do take up less space in comparison, however. When a telescopic gate is opened, the individual sections overlap each other, taking up less room. Telescopic gates are chosen for properties that require security but don’t have too much space. These gates can also only be installed on even ground. They can be painted in any color you like to match the aesthetic you seek. They have a number of access control options as well.
