What prevents thieves in Blackburn from opening an automated gate?

Old systems are easy to counter, but luckily modern features keep your premises more secure. One excellent feature is an anti-theft bracket or hinge. The brackets are placed over the motor to prevent tampering. The hinges fit over the gate hinges and ensure the gate can't be removed from the rail. Additional tips to increase your security features: -Position infrared safety beams across the motor. Combine them with an intruder detection alarm. Once the alarm is activated and the beam is broken—by trespassers—alarms are triggered. -Place a siren inside the motor and wire it to your house alarms. The sirens will go off before the burglars enter your home. -Use an insurance rated padlock to secure the motors anti-theft cage. -Add spikes or an electrical barricade at the top of the gate. You can never do enough in terms of safety, but automated gates give many users some peace of mind.

What type of motor is best?

The quality of your products determine how secure your property will be. Use a DC motor: -The DC motor has powerful starting torque -The speed can be easily controlled -It’s more efficient than AC and won't shut down due to overheating -Solar panels can be used to charge the motor’s battery -The motor must have a high voltage so it can effectively move heavy duty gates

When should a gate motor be replaced?

Maintenance is as important as using quality components. Look for these signs to gauge when it’s time to replace a motor: -Your gate malfunctions a lot such as not opening or it gets stuck. -You use your gate manually more often than before because of malfunctions. -Your gate is slower than before. -The motor is old and there are no longer spare parts for it. -The casing is corroded or damaged. -There is no battery back-up or the battery doesn’t keep power for long. -Your motor is so old it doesn’t have any safety features. -You constantly have to repair it. Be vigilant about this, because it only requires one day of your motor not working to result in catastrophes.
