When installing an automatic gate you need to make sure that you get everything you need. Some of the accessories that you can consider for your automatic sliding gate include:
Remote Controls
These are great for opening your automatic gate without you getting out of your car.
Battery Backup
For peace of mind automatic gates work even if there is a power failure when you have a battery backup. If you decide to use solar power they are a great idea. This is especially true if it is cloudy day.
If you do not have a battery backup, you need to have a a manual release in case of a power shortage. This will make sure that you are never locked in or out of your driveway.
Keypads
Keypads are a great option to give access to visitors to your home
Safety beam
A safety beam is a proximity sensor that makes sure the automatic gate does not accidentally close. It means when a person, pet or car is passing through the gate will not close. This feature is sometimes called an anti crushing feature.
Solar panels
You can choose from 5 watts up to 40 watts. The watts you decided on depends on your energy needs. Generally the bigger the gate, the larger the watts required. Solar panels are a great choice to save electricity when operating your automatic gate.
