What you MUST know about installing automatic gates at your Lanark property!

Powered, electric or automatic gates are more or less the same thing; with the use of a remote control or keypad entry system, they are the height of convenience.

You do not have to get in and out of your car, struggling in the weather to open and close the gate! They offer increased security and privacy, perfect for busy families.

But, if you are thinking of installing automatic gates at your Lanark property, there are some things you MUST know:

You will need the right equipment to test the opening and closing forces of the gate; in most cases, the consumer will not have this measuring equipment, therefore will not know if the gates meet safety standards or not - this is why installation of automatic gates should always be carried by a professional company!
There are British and European Standards concerning the opening and closing forces of automatic gates; the gates, should they make contact with a person or object should also reverse the action they are making (e.g. closing, they should begin to open again if they hit or make contact with something)
ALL automatic gates at Lanark properties should also be fitted with sensors, to prevent the gate making contact with or crushing a person or object
Automatic gates also have the potential to hurt people and pets in other ways, such as the small space when the gate is fully open or extended; these pinch points will need to be taken into account when designing the automatic gates for a Lanark property
Likewise, a professional company will also ensure that automatic gates installed at your property will also have the correct emergency release, should there ever be a circumstance where someone is trapped

Too big a responsibility?

After reading this, you might think that installing and operating automatic gates at your Lanark property may be too much of a responsibility.

However, there is no need to fear this convenient addition to your home! In the vast majority of cases, installed and designed correctly, automatic gates add immediate convenience to living in a property.

Automatic gates are incredibly safe and reliable to use too, and so if you are thinking of installing such gates, then it is not the big step that you think!
Always get a professional company

But, of course, the answer to any safety concerns lay in who designs the system, and who installs it - as well as who maintains it. A local, expert professional company is the obvious choice - why not contact us to discuss your automatic gates requirements in the Lanark area.
