How long do electric gate motors last?

Most electric gate motors last around 10 to 15 years with proper servicing, depending on how often they are used and local conditions.

Can existing manual gates be converted to electric?

In many cases, existing manual gates can be converted to electric operation, as long as the gate structure and pillars are suitable for motorisation.

Do electric gates use a lot of electricity?

Electric gates use very little electricity. The system only draws noticeable power while the gate is opening or closing, so running costs are typically low.

How secure are electric gates?

Electric gates are generally more secure than manual gates because they remain locked when closed and can be integrated with access control, intercoms and CCTV for added protection.
