Automatic VIDEX or FAAC gates are the best solution for those who want comfort and performance even in the simplest operations, such as opening or closing a garage gate or of pedestrian gates. Automatic gates provide not only comfort but also increased protection against burglars. For this purpose, one can even install surveillance cameras to monitor anyone who approaches their gate.



Gate automation is performed on any type of gate, be it new and modern, or several decades old. It is important to know that you do not have to buy a new gate if you want to have an automatic gate. All you have to do is to contact a company that deals with installation of automatic gates and to arrange a meeting. The company representatives will come to your home and they will inspect the gate that you already have, in order to see if it is worth installing an automation system in this particular case. There are situations where certain gates open very hard, because they are very heavy, or very old, and in these cases, the specialized companies may refuse to install such automation systems on those gates.



Automation systems for gates are based on a mechanical or hydraulic system. Experts recommend the mechanical system because it does not have problems with frost in winter, the way a hydraulic system does, whose main component is the hydraulic fluid that changes its density depending on the temperature. A mechanical system will never be pressured with higher traction as a result of freezing of the hydraulic fluid, for the simple reason that it does not work on such a liquid.



Swing gates are recommended for those houses or offices of companies that have a large courtyard and that are not placed directly next to a street or road. Do not forget that this kind of gates open front and back, not left and right, like sliding doors, so it is very important for swing gates to be used only where possible and where they do not hurt the pedestrians when opening or closing. Automatic gates are quietly directed through a remote control and they can also run on batteries when the power supply is interrupted. The gate automation systems can be switched to the manual system when the battery power is over or when the electric power is interrupted and the system does not benefit from batteries.
