Which Material is Best?
One of the first decisions you’ll want to make when it comes to your electric gate is which material to select. The choice that you make could depend on whether you’re installing it for a residential or commercial property, along with how much security you desire.
Aluminum is the most cost-efficient material we use, and it’s also highly adaptable to several environments. You could choose an aluminum product for either a residential or commercial property, although it’s considered a lighter duty material, so it won’t take a whole lot of abuse.
At the same time, aluminum looks excellent and is rust-proof. The ability to avoid rust is an important attribute to have when living near the ocean and is a significant selling point for this material.
The other material that we use is wrought iron, which is more durable than aluminum, making it ideal for a commercial setting. While a wrought iron gate will bend if a delivery truck hits it, it will stand up to light bumps better than aluminum and could be easier to repair after a significant strike.
Keep in mind that wrought iron is more expensive than aluminum, so it might not be ideal for a residential property, and it isn’t rust-proof, although we can spray it with a protective coating.
The final choice is up to you, but our experts are standing by to answer any questions that you might have about our gate products.
Electric Gate Features
Once we install your mechanical gate, our work doesn’t stop. You’ll want to make your gate functional, which is another service that Quality Gate Company provides.
Many Vista residents have an automatic gate opener installed. These devices work much like a garage door opener, as you’ll have a button that you can press to open and close your gate. That way, you don’t have to get out of your car to control it, and no one else can get through your gate without permission.
Another option is a gate sensor system, which you can calibrate in numerous ways. On some properties, this system enables the gate to open automatically when someone is exiting the home or business. That way, you don’t have to worry about guests or business traffic not being able to leave without your help. The system can also restrict the gate from closing when something is blocking it, which is a safety feature that can prevent both injuries and property damage.
Other options include access control through a keypad or keycard, which permits you to make your property accessible to anyone you provide with a card or code while keeping everyone else out. Some driveway gates also operate with a remote buzz-in system so that you can use your home phone to provides access. The drawback of this system is that anyone who wants access will have to either call you or speak with you through an intercom system, so it might not be right for every situation.
We’d be happy to go over the various access systems available on the market to ensure that you end up with one that meets your business or personal needs. Simply give us a call or email, and we’ll quickly answer your questions.
