Automatic gates are placed at the entrance of homes and businesses for added security. You may even pass a business that has an automatic gate with professional security personnel on standby. These security people find out what you are doing there and who you are there to see. Even some wealthy celebrities have these types of gates at the entrance of their homes to keep the press off their property. There are many different types of automatic gates on the market. They are normally installed by professionals and sometimes have boxes in which to speak into before entrance.
Some automatic gates make your home look more elegant. Some automatic gates have a key pad with a security password that must be entered in order for the gate to open. The Athena; Concord deluxe; Lexington deluxe; San Francisco and the Essex are only a few of the simpler gates. There's also the Versailles design which adds more elegance and style to your driveway. The Versailles which is also one of my favorites is constructed of 16 gauge steel frame; though it gives the look of wrought iron.
The standard color preferred by most is jet black but you can request custom colors. Most gate companies offer the opportunity to customize your own gate to your specifications. Some people have their name or their last name placed on the gate; which is very popular among celebrities. There are different types of automatic gates as well as different styles; such as the swing gate or the sliding gate. All wrought iron driveway gates can be either swing or sliding gates. Though a swing gate installs easier than sliding gates and tends to cost less as well.
There are also different remote access controllers that can be used such as the telephone intercom and video interface; keypad remote and receivers. Different gates open either inward or outward; whichever the owners preference. Another one of my favorites is most definitely the Hyde Park series which is also constructed of 16 gauge steel. This particular gate design is very pleasing to look at. It has a curly design within the gate that makes it distinctive.
