why homeowners prefer motorised gates
DESCRIPTION
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 problemsoperating these manually, although there are instances when they wish they hada helping hand. For example, closing and opening the gate when it’s raining or leaving the house with a vehicle.TRANSCRIPT

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.
