Mere Brow Smithy are now offering professional installed gate automation in conjunction to our gate range. We can automate new, existing, timber or metal gates.
Operation all systems
Normally the system is operated by pressing a button on a remote transmitter. The transmitter will work over some distance (according to location), usually from inside a vehicle. Usually an intercom entry system is also fitted for guests.
Arm operations
Sleek and modern, fit neatly on to the rear face of the gates. Usually about waist height (depending on the gate design). They have the advantage of being easier to fit than the
Underground systems, but are slightly more obtrusive. Normally these operations will open the gates through degrees.
Underground operations
The great advantage of the underground system is that when fitted, all that is showing at ground level is the steel lid. The operator is contained within a secure steel foundation box which is concreted into the ground and is therefore very unobtrusive.
Visually the system is very neat and with all the workings underground. Less prone to vandalism. Normally these operations will open the gates through 110 degrees but we can provide a special version that will open up to 180 degrees.
Sliding systems
These are very useful where the driver rises up towards the house and the slope would prevent the gates opening or where parking space is limited and a
Swinging gate would reduce any potential parking space. The basic equipment is less expensive than the other systems but they take longer to install. Extra safety features need to be fitted to reduce the risk of someone putting their arm through the gate whilst it is being operated.
Access equipment all systems
Intercom:
This stylish system allows conversation between someone at the gate and the householder, who by simply pressing a button can open the gates to allow entry.
Video intercom:
Same as a standard intercom with the addition of a video camera which allows the householder to view any potential guest.
Digital Keypad:
A popular accessory this allows entry for people with the preset numerical code.
