My driveway is only small. Can I have electric gates?

The size of the driveway is not an impediment to having electric gates at your Newton Mearns property. This is because there are two style of opening and closing mechanisms:

Swing – this is where the gate would follow an arc, opening into your driveway and then following the same arc back as it shuts. This will necessitate some space on the driveway.
Sliding – an opening and closing mechanism that is perfect when space is limited is the sliding mechanism. It tends to follow the perimeter of a property and thus, doesn’t need any space on the driveway onto which it needs to open and close.

I’m worried that I’ll either be stuck outside or inside of my property in the event of a power cut. What happens when there is no power?

Most electric gate systems run with a battery attached to them. In other words, should the power be cut there is enough power to operate the gates from the battery for a period of time.

More and more customers are choosing to have electric gates at their Newton Mearns property that are powered by alternative sources of energy, such as solar panels. Again, there is a battery attached to the system that gathers the energy generated by the panels, thus creating enough power to open and close the gates.

You will also be provided with information on how to open or close the gates in the event of a power outage lasting for a length of time.

How secure will electric gates at my newton Mearns property be?

Electric gates are incredibly strong, with the strength of the main gate material being matched by the strength of the electric arms and so on that control the gates.

Many businesses, for example, invest in these kinds of gates because they are less likely to give way under pressure of being ram-raided. It takes a lot of pressure for the gates to ‘give way’, thus you can be confident that electric gates at Newton Mearns property add an extra layer of security that is difficult to breach.
