Why choose motorized, automatic gates?
Aesthetics, manoeuvrability, comfort, etc., there are many reasons to choose an automatic gate. Today, gate motorization has become widespread in France. The reason: many find that handling a gate by hand is far too difficult and tiring. Here is why you should opt for an automatic portal.
Automatic portals: simplicity
If there is a word to summarize the advantages of an automatic portal, it is undoubtedly the word simplicity. Indeed, it is an installation which opens in a very simple way thanks to a small button. When you're in a hurry in the morning, it's a convenient feature. This is also the case when you came home a little late and hesitated to get out of your vehicle to open the gate. Moreover, when your gate opens onto the public road, it is essential to opt for motorization so as not to frustrate motorists who want to pass.
However, it should be known that the installation of an automatic portal requires a preliminary study. Indeed, there is no standard automatic gate that can be installed everywhere. Therefore, several criteria must be taken into account, including the space occupied by the portal, the manufacturing material, your budget and your specific needs.
Note that an automatic system can be perfectly installed on a swing gate as a sliding gate. Be that as it may, you will need to be prepared to purchase additional accessories such as the rf remote control, the push button or the turn signal.
Type of motorization
It must be said: a sliding gate can easily move along the rail fixed to the ground or self-supporting. The autonomy will then be ensured by a system with one or two hydraulic or electric arms and which is placed on one of the pillars, along the wall or directly on the leaves. Remember that the swing gate is easier to motorize than a sliding gate.
Call in a professional
You have decided to motorize your gate? It is strongly recommended to call upon a professional of the gate and joinery in order to respect all the phases of the motorization work. This can last up to 24 hours and labor can vary between 1500 and 3000 euros. However, please note that this price may vary depending on the client and the provider. Note that there are models of gates that are delivered in kit form in large surfaces.
