What you need to know about your new automatic gate

1. How does an automatic gate work?

The automatic gate moves thanks to a specially designed motor operated by a remote control that sends an impulse to the control unit that activate the motor. The control unit also detects other signals such as those of the photocells. The photocell is a component that constantly communicates with the control unit. Through a light beam, it detects if there are objects or people within the range of action of the gate. The photocell is essential to avoid crushing people or things.

2. How does gate maintenance work?

Maintenance is an essential part of safeguarding our gate. It is essential to keep the inner mechanisms of the gate clean and oiled at all times. You need to do maintenance for three reasons:

• Avoid future breakups
• Detect a problem and solve it immediately avoiding high repair costs
• Avoid unpleasant incidents in the house due to the malfunction of some component such as the photocells

3. Type of gates

Nowadays we can find 2 types of gate in kenya:

• Swing gate: this type of gate consists of two leaves that open by rotating on a fulcrum. Generally, the doors open inwards, but it can change as the characteristics of the gates vary according to the type of ground where they will be installed.
• Sliding gate: this type of gate has a movable part that slides on a grid placed horizontally on the ground. It is the perfect solution for houses with limited space

4. How many types of motors are there?

Nowadays we can identify 4 categories of motors in kenyan market:
• Linear motors: they are equipped with the best technology with ball screws, which guarantee high speed with medium-high power thrust performance. They are typically used as an alternative to hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
• Articulated motors:they are ideal to automate swing gates even with large pillars. The application behind the column makes the motor almost invisible from the outside of the gate: an excellent solution for those who do not want to damage the outside design
• Hydraulic motors: they are generally the cheapest in their category but equally robust. They provide excellent performance with a minimum opening time. In orbital hydraulic motors, the rollers are hydrodynamically supported; this reduces friction to a minimum and ensures excellent performance even at high pressures
• Underground motors: they differ in their sturdiness and discreet appearance that makes them almost invisible. This type of motor maintains the design of the entrance unchanged and is suitable for all types of gates. This solution is also perfectly suitable for residence gates that require a daily large workload

5. What happens in case the gate fails?

No problem, each gate is equipped with a special key for manual opening in case of breakage or sudden blackout. Opening is quick and easy and, for some types of gates, there is a motor also with an autonomy of several hours that continues to operate even in case of power failure.

6. Why do I need to rely on Haven Automation??

Besides years of experience in the industry,Haven Automation experts are always researching new technologies for the installation of new motors.

Not only high technology but also a taste for beauty, the gate is the very first thing you see in a house and who would ever want an unpleasant gate?

Haven Automation always seeks the perfect combination of high technology and high-level design… Seeing is believing.

How much does automatic gate cost?

Automatic gates come in a wide range of styles, materials, and operating methods, all of which impact the final cost of the project. The average cost of automatic gate is ^KSH110,000 for swing gate and ^KSH 130,000 for a slide gate.Labour and installation costs included.

The automatic gate opener is a device that opens or closes the gate automatically. First, there are different gate openers for different gate types. The main gate types are sliding and swing gates. The swing gate can have one or two leaves. The swing gates work like regular doors in the house. The sliding gate requires less space for open/close. They are more common in commercial use.

The gate motors are usually available as an articulated arm, if you have a dual swing gate, you need two articulated arms. The gate weight and size are also important, the driveway gate is usually 10 to 12 feet long. The standard size of the swing gate is 16 or 18 feet of length. The gate weigh depends on the material, iron, wood, vinyl and other materials.

You can choose the power source for your gate opener. There are AC transformer, battery backup or solar panel. If you choose AC power, just connect the machine to your preexisting power source. The solar panel is economical options, it saves electricity power. The battery backup is very useful when the power is out. But many gate openers use a combination of all these three power sources.

Turnstile systems are used for access control and passing authorization. These turnstiles vary as different types. The Swing gate turnstiles are also named as disabled passing turnstile. The disabled turnstile can be safely preferred in different lengths of spaces with different arm lengths. These turnstiles systems should be used 100% in every area that needs turnstiles usage. Because it is not possible for individuals with disabilities to pass through a normal turnstile. The fact that people with disabilities cannot pass the normal turnstiles increases the usage of swing gate turnstiles. Swing gate turnstiles, which separate as cylinder, glazed, wide arms in itself, respond automatically by sensing the movement of the person if someone stays front of the turnstile during forward and back motion of the turnstile ,and automatically stop the operation to prevent any harm to the person while closing .. It is also possible to control these turnstiles with single or double buttons. If you will control with one button, the turnstile will be closing every time after the button is pushed ,if it is open, and it will be opening if it is closed.

Automatic Sliding gates and Swing gates
Gate operators are a mechanical device which are used to open and close gates, most often found at the end of driveways. These operators come in lots of types including hydraulic, electromagnetically or solar panels. They can be programmed to be used manually or via a wireless transmitter, both designed for swinging or sliding gate openings.The type and operation of a system will depend on the size and type of gate used. There are many different types of gate systems and they come in different sizes, some will swing open from a pillar of a gate post, some will slide side to side and some with slide open and close.The majority of automatic gates use an integrated security system with access controls have a slide mechanism. These gates usually work on an electric motor with either an AC of DC, this allows the cooling oil reduction gearbox to give power to the driving cog, this will allow the gate to drive on a steel rack. The power of the motors for an electric gate is factored by the RPM and the reduction ratio of the gear box. Swing motor power also factors in the same content and ideas but instead works on a ring gear formula and not an oil reduction box. These gears turn onto a drive shaft which elevates an arm attached via a universal joint to the electric gate. There is an option to choose a piston system if you have a swing gate but this mechanism is often slower and work on a worm gear.Swing gates are hinged on posts or pillars, they may open in other directed and can be automated using an electronic system. These electronic underground systems have their motors installed below the pillar and gates in a foundation box. The motor will be connected by an invisible series of levers so the only thing visible above ground is the box and a lid. Mounted pillars or over ground systems are usually found on the back of the pillar, inside the gate. These systems can come in different varieties like Rams, linear or articulated arms, the choice depends upon the application. Articulated arms are usually used on wrought iron and rams on wooden gates.Sliding gates run along tracks or sometimes a cantilever system. These tracks are installed width-ways across a driveway and to the side of the pillars. The gate runs over this track with the assistance of rollers, much like a train on the rails. Cantilevered gates are used when this type of track, which runs across entrances, is not wanted or is impossible (because an uneven surface for example). These sliding mechanisms are operated by a motor and gear box, which are installed out of view and inside the gate Gate automation systems and accessories
