A well-designed residential gate creates a clear boundary around the property and helps control vehicle and pedestrian access. Solid or partially enclosed gate designs can also improve privacy by reducing views into the driveway or garden.
Gates can be supplied with a range of access control systems, including intercoms, video entry, keypads, key fobs, remote controls and mobile phone access. The right setup will depend on who needs to enter the property, how often the gate is used and whether access needs to be managed remotely.
For added convenience, new gates can be designed as fully automatic gates. Some existing gates can also be automated, provided the gate structure, posts and opening method are suitable.
