Safety in Style – Electric Gates for Better Living

Safety in Style Electric Gates for Better Living

The 21st century is full of worry. There are more people in the UK than there ever have been and there seem to be more crimes than there used to, too. Long gone are the days when a person could, or would, walk away from their home without locking the doors and windows: the days when the neighbours would pop in by walking straight through the porch without knocking. These days, the entrances to our properties are locked and protected with alarms. Even our driveways and gardens are protected. The best are protected with electric gates.

Everyone has a pretty secure front door. What's the use of that, though, if the grounds of a property are wide open to anyone that takes a fancy to occupy them? Really, a secure house needs gates to enclose the outside parts of its land. Using electric entrances is the perfect solution to the problem. Electric gates are controlled either from inside the house itself, from a car, or with a key fob. That means a person never has to approach the gate in order to open it and, of course, it shuts automatically. Furthermore, when a gate is closed it is locked and can't be opened again until a command button is pressed.

Using electric opening, closing and locking is just the beginning. Automatic gates can be supplied with a small CCTV camera, or an intercom (or both), which allows home owners to vet their visitors before allowing them in. CCTV enabled gates are also capable of recording comings and goings for future reference so if an incident does occur there is visual evidence for the police or security company involved to use.

Electric gates, like any other property access, can be alarmed which means that unauthorised attempts to open them set off warnings inside the house. As with any type of alarm system, the gates can be set up in such a way that a tripped alarm automatically alerts either police or a private security company, who will attend unless otherwise instructed.

Given that this is the kind of thing we've been doing to our houses for years, it's little wonder that the entrances to the whole of our properties are now following suit. Electric gates are a natural progression from the security advances of the last 10 years, allowing home owners of all types to fully secure the perimeters of their property. Securing the edges of a property is a far greater deterrent to would be burglars than just having an alarm if it's difficult even to get into the garden, all but the most determined thief will give up early.

An automatic gate doesn't have to be bought whole, either. Modern gate technology allows all the sensors, alarms and motor arms that standard electric gates have, to be fitted to any type of entrance barrier. That means two things: first, a person doesn't need to hunt high and low for an electric gate that fits his or her property entrance; and second, older properties with feature gates (like oak gates or farmhouse type gates) can retain the original fittings without compromising their security. Whichever way one looks at it, then, electric gates are the way to go.
