In Woodinville, Washington, and many other areas, safety is often the number one reason a household invests in automated driveway gate. The gate that deters would-be criminals from entering your property is the same gate that allows easy access to relatives, friends and delivery truck drivers. Your access control system makes things simple for you to remain aware of who comes in and out. Popular driveway gate access systems in Woodinville include keyless, digital entry pads (like a 4-digit code), card readers, intercoms, and telephone entry systems. The amount and frequency of people entering and exiting through your home driveway gate determines the best type of access control system to choose for your residence.
When it comes to driveway gates, there are two basic types: slide and swing. Space is often the determining factor for the type you pick. If your Woodinville home has plenty of space on either side of your entrance or a very short driveway, a sliding gate (which slides across the driveway), will probably be the right fit. However, if you are limited in space on either side of the entrance and you have extra driveway space, a swinging gate (that opens parallel to the driveway), is often the optimum fit. A reputable driveway gate professional will visit your Woodinville home to see the size and layout of your entry and driveway first-hand. Then he or she can make recommendations that consider both the space and your ideas for your location.
