Automatic security gates allow for fantastic levels of both safety and convenience in residential and commercial properties. Here’s a guide to the major types of automated security gates, as prepared by the gate installation experts here at Metro GDS Inc Gates & Garage Doors.
SWING GATES
SLIDING GATES
These gates simply slide horizontally to allow vehicles to pass through. Single slide gates open on a single end and slide to one side until it clears the driveway. Double swing gates part at the center and slide to either end. When these gates are open, they are perpendicular to the driveway. They work good on flat driveways with lots of room on either side. They offer the benefit of pulling aside from the entrance, creating a large access space. They can’t be installed in places where the driveway has tons of inclines, or hills on either side, or driveways that have water on either side.
