Residential Gates, Gate Operators, And Access Systems

For privacy and enhanced security, ABC Door installs a complete selection of wood and steel gates with slide or swing openers. These gates are perfect for estates or farms. The openers run on very low voltage and can even be solar-powered in areas where electricity is not available. (Solar powered gates require a minimum of 5 hours of direct sunlight each day to maintain the battery charge.)

Options Include:

• an adjustable sensor that stops the gate if an obstruction is detected
• a single transmitter that can be programmed to open both the gate and your garage door
• key pads, telephone intercoms and loop detectors that open the gate when you leave the garage
• other options are available

These gates offer superior construction, are available in a variety of designs, and service by ABC Door is as close as your telephone.

Typically, a commercial facility will have stricter security requirements than a residence, while also admitting a higher volume of traffic than most homes. As a result, commercial security gates must be faster, more durable and easier to operate than their residential counterparts.

Most business security gates are made of aluminum, which is strong and lightweight, in addition to being resistant to corrosion. As a result, they are less prone to wear – an important benefit that keeps your maintenance costs low without compromising security or service.

Some things you should consider when choosing a security gate for your business include:

• Available space and opening size: Different types of gates use space in a different manner – some open upwards while others slide out or swing forward. Also, consider what types of traffic you expect – large commercial trucks will require a larger opening to get in and out safely.
• Frequency and speed: An accurate picture of how much traffic you expect, and how quickly you need it to move, is essential when purchasing a business gate. Your system should be designed to keep idling time to a minimum, and durable enough to withstand the rigors of frequent daily use.
• Operator and access control system: A business gate is paired with an operator and, often, a keycard or number pad access-control system. To reduce the risk of failure, components should be matched by a qualified professional who understands your requirements.
• Electric security gates for businesses have several obvious advantages over manual systems. For larger facilities with a high volume of vehicles entering and exiting, an electric gate is the clear choice, as it will save time, reduce staffing requirements and keep your productivity up on a day-to-day basis.

There are some drawbacks to an electric gate, including increased maintenance requirements and higher initial costs.

Matching your organization with the right gate requires careful consideration of these factors and more. Working with an ABC Door gate professional will help you understand the options available and help ensure you get the best product for your budget.
