If you want to add a touch of security to your house or underground garage then have you considered fitting automated security gates? We offer a number of different automatic gate systems from the Came brand.
Whilst they may have been the preserve of the rich and famous, you can now buy Do It Yourself (DIY) kits online for under £800 and whilst not cheap they do offer numerous security benefits.
Often it may well be the case that you do not actually have any gates fitted to your driveway, but maybe are considering fitting some for security. Yet if your driveway leads on to a busy road then you may prefer to drive straight in off the road rather than stopping in the road to open or close the gates when entering or leaving, and this is often the reason why people do not fit automatic gates to such driveways.
However if you fit an automated set of Came electric gates then when approaching them from the road outside your house you can open them at the press of a button by remote control from the inside of your car. Likewise when you drive in they can be shut securely behind you at the touch of a button.
The biggest advantage that they offer is the security when you are out, as simply put no one can come along and open the gates. This feature makes your property very off putting to thieves as if they cannot drive up to your door to carry away stolen goods then they are far less likely to break in.
The majority of automatic security Came electric gates feature encoded remote controls, which means that they are highly secure and only likely to be broken in to by force or by very hi-tech thieves.
With gates from a brand like Came, the smaller systems use powerful low voltage 24v DC motors for pairs of electric gates up to 4M wide, and 230-240v AC motors for larger applications, and they are quite capable of opening very heavyweight gates.
The kits are relatively easy to fit if you have reasonable DIY skills, the main consideration is having suitably strong anchor points to fit the motors to. You will also need the services of a qualified electrician to connect the power to the electrics as this is no longer a task you can legally do yourself at home.
