Naturally, fences need gates. To not have a gate installed in a fence would be a bit like having a home without a door. There would be an odd gap or no opening at all. Either way, matters could get complicated. Though there’s probably already a gate in your fence, if you’re looking into electric options, it’s most likely time for an upgrade. Having an Electric Front Gate in Pasadena CA offers certain advantages over standard manual models.
Convenience
Nothing quite compares to climbing out of a vehicle in the pouring rain or driving snow to let yourself into the yard. In just the few seconds it takes to flip the latch on the gate and make it back to the car, you’re either drenched, frozen or both not to mention the cleanup the vehicle’s upholstery will need after the fact. An electric gate protects against the elements by allowing you to open it from inside the vehicle.
Security
Basic locks only go so far in keeping out intruders. They can simply be cut, leaving the door wide open for theft, vandalism and other malicious acts. Although electric gates aren’t infallible they allow you to take security up a notch. They can’t be easily be bypassed and can certainly be equipped with battery or solar backup power, entry pads for security codes and other measures to ramp up safety.
Containment
While it’s important to keep intruders out, keeping pets and small children from escaping is also a concern. Toddlers only need to see their parents open a gate once or twice before they’re able to do so on their own. Dogs may need a few more tries, but they’re smarter than most people give them credit for. Some have even been known to escape and go around springing other neighborhood dogs from the safety of their own yards. An Electric Front Gate in Pasadena CA keeps the important things inside just as well as it keeps unwanted ones out.
Electric gates aren’t a necessity, but they certainly make life safer and prevent their fare share of mishaps. If you don’t already have one, these are only a few of the reasons to upgrade.
