Top 7 Reasons to Install an Automatic Driveway Gate

;)
By securing your property with a fence or boundary wall, it's essential to ensure full security by also installing a driveway gate with the convenience of automated access control. An electric gate ensures that your children and pets remain within the boundaries of the property and keeps trespassers out. With today's access control systems, we can establish temporary access pass codes for workers or guests, which expire after a set amount of time. Our access control systems allow our customers to know exactly who is at the gate before letting them in. We most commonly equip our automatic driveway gates with CCTV video surveillance cameras to further enhance the security of our systems and safety of our customer.
2. Convenience
With today's technology, automatic gate access control is more convenient than ever. There's no longer a need to get out of your vehicle to open a gate and our newer systems can allow home owners to open and close their gate via their iphone or ipad straight from their couch (Note: Not available for all locations.) Our systems can be equipped with a wide range of access control options like telephone entry, card entry, keyless entry, keypad entry, transmitters and applications. Our convenient access control systems allow users to enter and exit a secure property with ease and efficiency, so you can get on with more important things.
3. Privacy
Electric automatic driveway gates keep off trespassers, salesmen, burglars and all other unwanted visitors. Our systems allow you to identify the person by audiovisual communication and decide if you will let him in or not. We sell and install a wide range of solid wood driveway gates that do not allow for visibility like the steel or wrought iron ones, thus, providing more privacy to the owner, as an outsider cannot see through.
4. Curb Appeal
A well designed and installed automatic electric gate is one of, if not the most permanent way to add curb appeal to your home. When driveway gates are designed to match and complement the style of your home, it's the icing on the cake.
6. Save Money
Major home insurers commonly offer a discount to the premium when an electric gate is part of the security system of your house, saving you big money! Many of our solar powered gate operators qualify for a 30% tax credit!
7. Increase Home & Property Value
One of the best incentives of adding an automatic driveway gate to your home or property, is the increase value that it adds to your home and property. Homeowners are consistently surprised to discover the added value to their home and property when they add an automatic driveway gate and then sell the home or property. Why? See reasons 1-6!

That entry gate is beautiful!
Well said, not to mention it's a really cool way to show off to friends & family. And these days you can get safety accessories so that emergency vehicles can get in no problem, so now it's not a gift AND a curse having a secure gate, it's just a gate and ease of mind :)
Excellent point Arno!
