Frequently asked questions

• What should I take into consideration when choosing property gates?

  Before deciding on a gate, you should think about the style of your home exterior, about the type of the door that will suit you best (sliding or swing gates), about the property size (so you can choose the right size), about maintenance you are willing to do and, lastly, about your budget.

• How to choose the right gate size?

  The driveway gate should be a little wider than your driveway entrance. Use a tape measure, and measure your driveway. Use a smaller single gate for a straight driveway. Use a wider double gate if you have curves on your driveway.

• Should a gate open in or out?

  It is usual for gates to open inwards. In some cases, it is even illegal for gates to open outwards, into public property.

• What happens to automatic gates when the power is out?

  Most automatic/electric driveway gates are installed with an emergency manual override feature that will provide you with a way to open your gates in the case of power cut.

• Why should I have an electric gate?

  Electric gate enhances security of your home, protects your children and pets from getting out and increases the value of your home. It also saves you the time and effort from getting out of your car every time you wish to open the gate.
