Electric gates are a great way to add security to your property. The function level that an electric gate operates at works to add the best of security and efficiency to your space, only letting the people you want onto your property. But how do these gates effectively operate and what are they made of? To learn about these gates in detail, our team at Techno Gate GTA has come up with some important information below.
The Components
An electric gate is made up of several different components, each working hard to make a gate what it is.
The Motor
Also commonly known as the heart of any electric gate system, a motor provides a gate with the power needed to open and close, whether that be the gate swinging outward or sliding from side to side.
Control Panel
If the motor is the heart of the gates system, then the control panel is considered the brain. A gates control panel works to allow or deny a gate from moving. It is the input center for any gate movement before it actually takes place, keeping track of any data that needs to be entered to have the gate open.
Tracks/Rollers
In order for a gate to open and close properly, it will usually need to run on a track with rollers. These tracks and rollers work to make sure that a gate stays in the right place when it opens/closes and doesn’t run off track.
How it Works
When it comes down to it, electric gates truly are a revolutionary feature in today’s home security. With all of the components that were previously mentioned above, an electric gate works to add a sense of comfort, safety and protection to your home that otherwise would not be there. Gates are a great way to deter potential criminals, add a touch of luxury + style to your property and keep your place protected from unwanted visitors.
Types of Gates
While all electric gates provide the same purpose, there are different types of electric gates that add certain benefits to each property. There are swing gates that swing open and close to let people in. These gates are best for properties with more space that are on a levelled surface of land. There are sliding gates that slide from side to side to open and close, and these gates are best for properties with limited space. There are also tilted gates, which tilt up and down to let people in/out of the property. This is also a good gate to have installed when you’re dealing with limited space.
