Do you need to automate your gate but you don’t know where to start? Here is a guide that will help you define which gate automation is right for you.

Automation delete what you need to know to choose the right one

Automating the gate is always the best solution to simplify your daily life.

Comfort is the greatest advantage of automatic gates because they consist of a motor that is operated through a remote control device, facilitating the gate opening and closing mechanism.

The automatic gate has an electrical panel and a control impulse control unit, generated by a radio control or a key selector.

A simple click of the remote control will allow you to open and close your gate comfortably from a distance, avoiding unnecessary physical effort under all types of climatic conditions.

Gates are divided into two macro categories: sliding gates and swing gates.

Gate automation: assembly and regulations

To ensure that your automatic gate works correctly, entrust the assembly to professionals.

In fact, the assembly foresees a series of safety requirements and regulations that only a specialized technician, following an appropriate inspection, can define.

The regulations governing the installation and maintenance of gate automations in force in Italy are EN 12453 and EN 12445.

Furthermore, at the end of the installation, a certificate of conformity must be issued by the qualified installation technician.
