Choose an opener based on gate size, weight and frequency of use.
Security is a concern for home and business owners. Fences with gates provide a higher level of security while providing a location for entering and exiting. Automatic gate openers ensure that entry to your property is limited. Gate openers come in many sizes and styles to match different types of gates. Choosing a gate and gate opener depends greatly on your tastes and the physical specifications of the gate. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Choose the entry type. Most automatic door openers use intercoms, keypads or remote controls. Some newer models can be opened with a cell phone.
2. Choose the motion type. Automatic gates can swing inward or outward or slide apart. The choice will depend on the amount of space available and the environment surrounding the gate location.
3. Measure the length of the area to be gated. Shorter gates may work with only two sections, but longer gates may require additional sections, called "leaves," on each side.
4. Select a gate that matches your style and length preferences. Calculate the weight per leaf of the gate.
5. Choose a gate opener that matches your length, weight and movement requirements.
