Local Gates in Cedar Creek NSW

What’s the difference between a manual and automatic gate?

Before buying a gate for your residence or office, you need to think about which gate system works better for you—manual or automatic. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a list of factors you should consider.

• Cost: Manual gates are a good option if you’re on a tight budget. Automatic gates are costlier as they require power to operate and will increase your electricity bill.
• Security: Automatic gates are a better alternative if increased security is your concern. Features like remote controls or sensors to detect cars can be added to these gates for enhanced security, while manually operated locks are the only security element for manual gates.
• Comfort: Manual gates offer less convenience. While a small garden gate can easily be opened and shut, handling larger industrial gates can be unwieldy and cumbersome. By contrast, automatic gates enable people to quickly enter or leave your property.
• Installation: Manual gates are easier to install, as trained experts are needed to connect automatic gates to the power supply.
