Access Control Features
We install a wide range of access control systems to match your security needs. Keypad entry systems allow you to create unique access codes for family members or regular visitors. These codes can be easily changed when needed.
Remote controls are popular among our customers, with options for standard or long-range models. Some homeowners prefer smartphone integration, letting you control your gate from anywhere using our dedicated app.
Vehicle detection sensors recognize your car as it approaches, opening the gate automatically. This feature is especially convenient when you're returning home in bad weather.
For businesses, we offer intercom systems with video capabilities. These allow you to see and speak with visitors before granting access. We also install card readers and biometric scanners for higher security requirements.
Aesthetic Enhancements
Our gate motors can be paired with various decorative elements to match your home's style. We offer custom covers in materials like brushed aluminum, copper, or powder-coated steel to blend with or complement your gate design.
Lighting options include subtle LED path lights, decorative lanterns, or motion-activated security lights. These enhance visibility and safety while adding visual appeal to your entrance.
Sound dampening features reduce motor noise, creating a peaceful environment. This is particularly valuable in residential neighborhoods or properties with bedrooms near the gate.
We can install custom signage on your gate, from house numbers to family names or business logos. Weather-resistant finishes protect these enhancements from sun damage, rust, and other environmental factors. Hidden motor options are available for clients who prefer a more seamless look without visible mechanical components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What factors determine the cost of installing an electric gate motor?
The cost of installing an electric gate motor depends on several key factors. Gate type (sliding or swing) significantly affects pricing, as each requires different motor systems.
Motor brand and quality also impact cost, with premium brands typically costing more but offering better reliability and features. Gates with complex designs or custom features may require specialized motors or additional installation work.
The existing gate condition and infrastructure, including whether wiring is already in place, will affect installation costs. Our technicians provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific situation.
How long does it generally take to install a new gate motor?
Standard gate motor installations typically take 4-6 hours for residential properties. This includes motor mounting, connection to power, programming the control board, and testing.
More complex installations involving wiring challenges, difficult access, or custom configurations may take a full day. Commercial installations often require 1-2 days depending on the system complexity.
Weather conditions, gate condition, and site preparation can affect installation timeline. We always schedule enough time to ensure proper installation without rushing.
Are there any maintenance services provided post-installation of a gate motor?
We offer comprehensive maintenance packages after installation. Our standard package includes bi-annual inspections to check motor function, lubricate moving parts, and test safety features.
Regular maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns and extends motor life. We can adjust sensitivity settings, clean sensors, check wiring connections, and update software when needed.
Emergency repair services are available 24/7 for our maintenance customers with priority scheduling. We keep detailed maintenance records to track your gate's performance over time.
What warranty terms should I expect with an automatic gate motor installation?
Most gate motors we install come with a manufacturer's warranty of 1-3 years covering parts defects. We provide an additional 90-day warranty on our installation workmanship.
Extended warranty options are available for purchase, which can provide coverage for up to 5 years. Our warranty includes free diagnosis of covered issues and replacement of defective parts.
Warranty terms vary by motor brand and model. We fully explain all warranty details before installation so you understand your coverage.
Can existing gates be retrofitted with an automatic motor, and what are the considerations?
Yes, most existing gates can be retrofitted with automatic motors. We first evaluate your gate's size, weight, and condition to determine compatibility.
Gate structure integrity is crucial - weak or damaged gates may need reinforcement before motorization. The available space for motor installation and power source proximity are important considerations.
Some older gates may need modifications to accommodate modern safety features. We assess whether your gate posts can support the motor's torque and if additional bracing is needed.
