Commercial And Residential Gates
Imagine efficiently controlling who enters your property. Whether you own a residence or a commercial property, security is a top concern. One of the best ways to quickly and instantly have more control over your property’s security is with the installation of a driveway gate. These beautiful and practical features are becoming ever more common as pricing is much more accessible, even for automatic driveway gates.
With this feature, you gain many benefits for your property such as:
Security
The most apparent advantage of installing a driveway gate is that you control who comes onto your property, boosting your protection. For the best results, integrate your driveway gate with a fence that surrounds the rest of your property, so you can easily control who’s allowed in. Many driveway gates include security features such as coded keypads, intercoms, cameras and/or locks that function automatically.
Property Value
Your property value will increase after installing a driveway gate. This feature is highly prized among both residential and commercial property owners. With this addition, your property value may rise, which can be a significant advantage should you choose to sell your property someday.
Safety
Your driveway gate not only prevents intruders from entering but also prevents those on your property from leaving! This is important in the case of young children and pets who otherwise might wander off the property. Make sure that your property is properly secured so that your family is always safe.
Convenience
Most of today’s driveway gates are automatic, which means they’re quite convenient. Either use a keypad to unlock and open the gate, an indoor control, or an opener that you carry in your car, similar to your garage opener. With these convenient features, you’ll never have to leave the comfort of your home to open the gate in the rain. Instead, your automatic driveway gate will open at the push of a button.
Curb Appeal
Driveway gates can be beautiful. They can be made out of a wide range of secure materials that will match the style of your property. Choose from simple wrought iron gates to elaborate designs, beautiful wooden gates, rustic styles or specialty security gates. The beauty of the gate will enhance the curb appeal of your property, creating a sound impression from the entrance.
Privacy
Do you ever tire of neighbors or strangers peering up your driveway and into your home? Depending on the style of your driveway gate, you can close off visual access to your property. In addition to restricting access, driveway gates are a great way to complete a privacy fence around your property so that you never have to think about who’s looking in.
A driveway gate offers all of these benefits that add up to peace of mind and an improved property. Customized driveway gates can match the size and style specifications of your choice. Your gateway will look great and meet your security, privacy and safety needs, all while enhancing the visual appeal of your property.
If your property is enclosed, consider installing a driveway gate. Driveway gates are made of many types of material and come in a variety of styles. There are three basic types: sliding, bi-parting, and single swing.
If your driveway gets lots of snow or ice in the winter or has a steep grade, then a slider is for you. Bi-parting gates have two unfolding panels and work best with driveways greater than 14 feet in width.
If you have at least 12 feet of space on either side of your gate and your driveway is 14 feet wide or less, you can consider a single-swing style, which opens either to the left or right. Single-swing gates are generally less expensive than bi-parting types.
Gates can be opened manually or automatically. Automatic systems offer the greatest convenience, allowing homeowners and guests to operate gates by using keypads with punch-in codes, dial-up intercoms and telephone entries, or hand-held remotes.
Keypad, push-button, or underground exit sensors then open the gate when it’s time to leave. Installing a photo-eye will ensure that your gate will reopen if it hits an obstacle.
