Gates serve two purposes: to keep unwanted people out and to prevent

people (or pets) inside from going out. A typical gate is usually made of either

metal or wood materials with a lock. Many households don’t have problems

operating these manually, although there are instances when they wish they

had a helping hand. For example, closing and opening the gate when it’s

raining or leaving the house with a vehicle.

This helping hand could be in the form of a motorised gate. This allows homeowners to access

their gate from at least a 20-meter distance through a control system. As the gate opens

automatically, they don’t have to struggle opening the lock, or have to get out of the vehicle

to open and close the gate.

Motorised gates are difficult to open due to their irreversible geared motors. Most fencing

companies also offer magnetic locks to make sure that these are closed shut. A gate can

hold up to 500kg, which makes it difficult for burglars to force the gate open. Along with the

right design, it could guarantee the safety of the property and everything else that’s in it.

Added Security

Motorised gates come in different designs, such as wooden slats or steel frames. Unlike the

traditional types, these are customisable to the needs of every homeowner. The gate

doesn’t only swing open, but could also be slid, lifted up, or drawn back, depending on the

installation.

Property Value

Motorised gates can boost the value of any property due to additional security features. Like

any other household, protecting their property, possessions, and loved ones is the main

priority. Burglary rates may be decreasing, but it’s not a guarantee that homeowners feel

100% safe. In addition, those who are planning to sell properties with motorised gates could

expect an increase, probably 10% to 15%, on the selling price.

It’s true that gates are beneficial for property owners, but these still have flaws. Advances in

technology, however, could fix these with the help of a motorised system.
