An emergency manual override feature that works on either the inside or both sides of the gate is included in each automation kit we offer. During the site visit, we will specify which one meets your specific requirements the best.

Typically, this manual release takes the form of a straightforward key that lets go of the motor drive, allowing the gate(s) to be opened and closed until the problem can be fixed.

Ground works like post hole foundations, lifting/relaying blockwork, and ducting between piers can be included in our installation.

However, if new construction is required, such as the construction of piers, the laying of driveways, extensive groundwork, or a new power supply, we can recommend several builders with whom we have previously collaborated on installations.

It is important to understand that the primary application of adding gate operators is for convenience of use. Don’t assume that the gate will automatically be secure!

For instance, a rising vehicle barrier on a car park entrance is not for security – it is there for traffic management. If security is the main criteria, in this case, adding a hydraulic rising bollard capable of withstanding significant vehicle impact would be more appropriate.

Gate Operators can be forced to a greater or lesser extent – over a certain gate leaf width manufacturers recommend that a locking device such as an Electro-Magnetic Lock is employed to avoid the operator from being damaged.

A Sliding Gate System is usually considered more secure than Swing Gates; please feel free to discuss the merits of either system with our surveyor.
