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.

When required, we frequently install automation kits on existing gates.

During a site visit, we will check the following for suitability:

• Condition of the gates, posts, or piers;

• Type of construction material;

• Adequate working clearances between the gate leafs;

• Suitable hinges and mounting brackets;

• Excessive drive way slopes;

• Distance from main roads.

It is essential that the existing gate has sufficient build strength and overall integrity to withstand the pressures applied by the motor drives.

This can be split in to two categories:

Domestic – Single Phase, 240 volt, 13 amp, RCD protected circuit

Industrial/Commercial – Single or Three Phase.

Note: Your electrician must be Part P certified and will specify the correct cable rating. All power supplies will need to conform to the latest IEE regulations.

Yes you can either by simply calling the gate or via a smartphone application.

The simple fact that electric operated gates have motor drives which are powerful enough to move the gates means they have an inherent danger if they were to trap or hit a person.

The safety required on the gates is to prevent entrapment of any kind whether it is the swing gates closing onto someone or a sliding gate closing and crushing a person.

The fact with remote controls that you can operate a large set of electric gates without actually being able to see the gates is the main reason you need safety devices incorporated.
