Modern Automatic Gates
While garage door installation is a large portion of the work we provide our clients, automatic gate installation is also another service we offer here at G & G Garage Door. Besides the security homeowners receive from their garage doors, many homeowners are opting to install electric security gates for added peace of mind. Fences, gates, and garage doors all add security. And the right choice of doors can substantially improve the curb appeal as well as the value of your home.
Electric gates were accidentally invented in 1881 by a Canadian named Fred W. Watson, who was designing a gate system to be used for railways. Not long after that, electric gates began to be used at horse racing tracks. And over the years, automatic gates and security rails have evolved to meet the demanding needs of commercial property owners as well as homeowners. Now gates have many special features that weren’t available a century ago. These features include remote control operation, linking the opener to key card readers, auto-reverse, and many other advancements.
If you’re in the market for an automatic gate for your home or business, please give G & G Door a call. We can walk you through the options and features available and help you design a custom gate that compliments the look of your home or office.
Types of Automatic Gates
While the operation of gates has evolved to include opening and closing the gate with an App, the security from theft and burglary has evolved alongside. If you’re interested in making your home more secure, you’ll want to take a look at the types of gates and how they operate before you make your decision. A swing gate can be made of steel, wood, or iron, and basically pivots by the use of a wireless remote or app to swing open and shut at your convenience.
Sliding gates can also be operated by a wireless remote, card reader, or an App. on your smartphone. These gates are the most popular and are ideal for small spaces where the gate doesn’t take up too much space when in operation.
One of the features that we suggest you consider is a gate with a battery backup system in case of a power outage. Having the ability to exit or enter your property in an outage can be a lifesaver. Also, many insurance companies will offer lower monthly premiums if you have a gate protecting your property. Ask your insurance agent.
Advantages Of Having An Automated Gate

Choosing which type of automated gate is best suitable for your property in terms of privacy should be of the utmost concern as a homeowner.
