The convenience of automated gates
Why struggle to open and close heavy gates during dark, wet and cold conditions, when you can press a button on a remote control in the comfort of your car or home. You can open and close the gates automatically. Family and Friends will be able to use an Intercom System whereby you will be able to give them access to your property.
On a security note, electronically automated gates have irreversible geared motors, making it very difficult to force open.
