There is no doubt about it, access control gates enhance privacy and security a great deal, but before you settle on automated gates, you should first determine which type of gate is going to suit your particular needs: a swinging- or sliding gate, and which automatic gate opener will work best for the gate? Because of the importance of such a project – that of securing your property – it is best to work with a professional company; those that can provide expert advice on all facets of installation and operation.
Which type of access control gates are recommended?
If you are short on space, then certainly sliding gates would be best; on the other hand a swing gate is easier to install and typically costs less.

Access control gates with an automatic entry gate system can add thousands to home values regardless of whether it has any effect on crime.
