The principle behind automatic gates is primarily electricity and automation. An operator operates the gate with a remote control. That is sheer convenience when compared to traditional ways of operating gates and now this technology is taking shape in several homes.


However, apart from the tangible-visible convenience of operating the gate with a remote button or a side key button – without having to get out of the car, on a rainy night, there are more pluses that come with automatic gates. Some are obvious and some others a little surprises.

First, when your property is secured behind an automatic gate, the quality of home security increases. You reckon that you can also control the type of visitors you get to your compound. No authorized intruder can venture into your home for instance spy-thieves disguised as hawkers who might come to your home selling unsolicited goods.

You could also sell your home at a higher price than before due to improved quality of security. Also it gets easier to sell such a home since the buyer will consider the cost of installing an automatic gate and decide to go with one already installed.

Automatic gates also are protected against opportunistic burglars, thieves who could otherwise enter your compound if they find a gate that could be operated manually. In some cases, a particular gate code is used to operate automatic gates and therefore it could be so easy to limit the number of people who can operate the gate. Even your kids at home whom you would not wish them to go out of the gate can easily be confined within home compound.

Also, securing your insured property behind an automatic gate means that there is reduced risk on your property. Some insurance companies could readily consider this and therefore revise your monthly premiums downwards. In the end, you realize automatic gates could help in reducing home insurance cost.
