Elephants and automatic gates at Milngavie properties – what is the link?!

There are not too many elephants that roam the streets of Milngavie, or anywhere else in Scotland in fact but there is a link.

Strength on a par with an elephant

Elephants are large animals, mainly peace-loving and avoiding interaction with humans. When they do, they can be industrious work houses in some countries across the world. But there is something about the strength of the elephant that fills people with awe.

Automatic gates at Milngavie properties tend to be similar to the elephant. Strong and standing firm in all weathers and under all circumstances. In fact, they are so strong that it will take the weight of a medium sized elephant leaning on the gate – depending on material – to open the gate.

This is great news if you are installing automatic gates at your Milngavie home or business as a security measure. Many businesses have been subject to ram-raids, where thieves drive a vehicle at a gate, wall etc. and attempt to force their way.

Automatic gates are tested to withstand this kind of pressure and force for as long as possible. In other words, the noise will attract attention and the thieves will also find it too much of an effort thus, choosing an ‘easier’ target.

Safe operation that is also convenient

However much gates are an important security measure, they are not always used simply because it takes effort to use them. When the weather is bad, or drivers are in a rush, you are late for the school run and so on, the gates are left lying open.

Hence, the additional layer of security is not doing much at all. Closing them at night time is all well and good, but they can also protect during the day.

Automatic gates at Milngavie properties are exactly that – automatic. You can invest in pressure pads that detect when a vehicle is leaving, but invest in keypad entry, or for many domestic customers, they also opt for a key fob too.

The gates need to be operate safely, which means having ample room to either swing or slide open. They must also only operate on your land – in other words, they cannot swing open across a public footpath or road.

And even though they do no swing into anyone’s path, you still need a sign to tell passers-by that the gates are automatic, and liable to open and close without warning.
