4 Things to Consider When You Want the Highest Quality Automatic Gate

If you are in the market for the highest quality automatic gate, there are a few things to consider before making your purchase. Not all automatic gates are created equal, so it’s important to weigh your options before making an investment. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the four most important features to look for when buying the highest quality automatic gate. By the end of this article, you’ll have the knowledge and resources to choose the right gate for your home or business.

1) Weatherproof Systems

When looking for a high-quality automated gate, it’s important to look for weatherproof systems. This means that all the wiring and components should be weatherproof, as exposure to rain and other elements can cause failure in these components much earlier than expected. Ideally, the automated gate should have 100% waterproof components for maximum protection. The weatherproofing of the automated gate is especially important if it will be placed in an area that experiences a lot of rain or snow.

2) Control Range

When choosing an automated gate access solution, it is important to consider the control range of the gate. If the gate’s control range is too short, then it may not provide the convenience you are looking for. The ideal control range should be at least 3 feet and the best remote controls come with a range of up to 100 feet, so that you can access your property easily even from far away. A control range this large will make accessing your gate a much more convenient experience and save you from the annoyance of having to wait for it to open.

3) Backup Battery

When shopping for an automated gate, it’s important to consider a system that includes a backup battery. Without it, you risk being left stranded when the power goes out. A battery backup will ensure your automated gate will keep functioning in the event of a power outage, so make sure the system you choose has one with enough capacity to last until power is restored. With a good battery backup, you’ll never have to worry about being locked out of your gate ever again.

4) Custom Settings

When it comes to access solutions, automated gates are often the best option. The only way to ensure the highest quality gate is to look for one that offers custom settings from the control box. This will give you the flexibility to customize your gate to suit your needs. For example, you can adjust the opening speed, waiting time, sensitivity, and remote control settings. With these custom settings, you can get the most out of your automated gate and have access solutions tailored to you.

We’re An Open Gate! 🙋 Ask Us Anything! | Frequently Asked Questions

While you’re able to review some of our Frequently Asked Questions on our website (copied below), we’re positive that there are more out there! This is the time to ask them! Ask us anything related to our business, products, services, general questions, etc. We’re an “open gate”! (Pun intended.)

 

  • What is a Gate Opener?
    • A gate Opener is an electronic device that, when activated, can open and close your driveway gate. Gate Openers can be activated in a number of ways, including codes, proximity cards, intercoms, timers, phone apps, bar-code scanners, pushbuttons, motion detection, and more.

 

  • Do you install and repair Mighty Mule gate openers?
    • Mighty Mule gate openers are sold as DIY “Do-It-Yourself” kits intended to be installed by end users. We prefer to install gate opener equipment that has a minimum 3-year warranty, is field serviceable, and is rated for continuous daily use.

 

  • Can I buy a LiftMaster gate opener to install myself?
    • LiftMaster, and many other gate openers, are to be installed by trained gate system technicians only. We have numerous Certified System Designers and Certified Installers on staff who are ready to inspect your site for a free recommendation.

 

  • How much does it cost to install an automatic gate opener?
    • We have installed custom gate systems that range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. It is important to note, we only use the highest quality products, and all our gate systems are custom designed to meet your needs.

 

  • What is the best automatic gate opener?
    • There are several high-quality gate openers available, and we find that it varies for each situation. The best automatic gate opener for you is specific to your site. There are a few brands that we think highly of, and a free site inspection by one of our Certified Automated Gate System Designers will enable us to make a recommendation.

 

  • Can any gate be converted to an electronic or automatic gate?
    • For a gate to be automated, it must be structurally sound, move freely, and meet ASTM F-2200 standards for safety. Sometimes, gates can be converted, and other times they need to be replaced with a complete custom automatic gate system.

 

  • Do you install solar powered electric gates?
    • Yes. Solar powered automatic gates are common and very reliable. Solar powered gate systems are especially popular because there is a federal solar tax credit. Also known as the investment tax credit (ITC), this credit allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes.

With the Thanksgiving weekend behind us, it’s a full-on sprint to Christmas! With an array of decorating decor from bows to wreaths to garlands and lights, planning a beautiful outdoor Christmas display takes a lot of planning. And, that planning starts with your gate as your guests enter through your magical wonderland.

Even the most experienced holiday decorators could use some tips and tricks along the way…

  1. Be sure to inspect the area you’ll be decorating for obstacles such as low tree limbs, debris around the gate or opener, landscape contours, plus the location of your driveway and walkways in conjunction with your gate.
  2. Decide what type of decorations you’ll use and 
  3. When you’re ready to place the decorations, consider sketching out the idea in your head on a piece of paper or on your tablet along with measurements.
  4. To add lighting or not to add lighting, that is the question. If you choose lighting, be sure to check if the cords will be clipped or in the way when the gate opens/closes.
  5. If you have a swing gate and would like to setup a delay so as not to entangle any decorations in your gate, please give us a call at 850-271-3617.
