Order an automatic gate from a reputable company that offers a wide selection of custom-made aluminum gates and fences. Most importantly, they should be the cheapest gates you can find. With the right items and accessories, they make it simple for homeowners and they can fremote an automatic gate in your property. Here, you can find a complete guideline to install an automatic gate:

Phase 1: Planning And Choosing A Gate

Every driveway is different, so take time to finalize the type and the size of gate before installing an automatic gate.  You must choose the opening of such gates according to the vehicles that you have and you can discuss you needs with an expert to choose the best one.

If you want to automate the gate, it must be 300mm longer than the opening width in order for the motor to work. Consider installing automatic swing gate if you don't have enough room for a sliding gate.

Phase 2: Preparation

A suitable surface for installing automatic gate to roll across is important. For both the opening width and the runoff when the gate is opened, the surface must be straight and consistent. It is not necessary for the track to be flat if the slope is consistent over its length.

Phase 3: Install The Gate Track

The center of your track should be away from the face of your posts. Before securing any of the track lengths, lay them out on the ground. If your concrete surface has any inconsistencies, pack under the track to ensure it is properly supported.

Predrill holes in the concrete and use concrete screws to secure the track. Start with a few screws in each track length to secure it in place to make sure the gates are working properly before proceeding with the rest of the screws.

Phase 4: The Gate And The Bracket

Place the gate flat on the ground on a soft surface before installing automatic gates. Measure the positions where the two wheels will be fixed. Fix the wheels to the gate with metal screws after pre-drilling the holes.

Install the guide bracket above the gate once the wheel track is in place. This bracket, which is mounted on the post behind the engine, keeps the gate from falling over and guides it left and right.

This bracket will straddle the top of the gate and has some adjustability to match how far your gate is set back from the fence. Firmly fasten the bracket to the post.

Phase 5: Catcher And Stopper For The Gate

Installing automatic gate stopper on the opposite end of the gate when it is completely open is essential for safety reasons, as it prevents the gate from running off the wheel track or guide bracket.

The gate will now roll freely along the track, staying straight from the guide bracket and having a fixed open and closed position with the gate catcher and stopper.

Phase 6: Automating The Gate

You must choose between using mains power or solar power. If you use mains power, you'll need to have a power supply close to your motor's position. Solar power could be a better choice and you can save your power consumption cost.

The gear rack must be secured to the gate at a height that allows it to rest on the motor gear. Make sure the rack is rolling smoothly and at the correct height before attaching it to the gate. Continue with subsequent lengths after securing the rack at each end.

Many people choose to hire skilled fencing and gate technicians because automatic gates can be very difficult to mount. Please contact an expert reputed company on their contact number or visit their website to schedule an appointment for installing automatic gates for your home or office.
