If you are interested in a new automatic gate for your driveway, there are many different styles and materials from which you can choose. Whether it is for security, convenience, or you just enjoy having all the bells and whistles, here is the latest information on driveway gate features that you should not go without.

• Photo Eye Sensors

  Photo eyes are a great investment, particularly for families with small children and pets. This safety feature prevents your gate from closing if the invisible beams detect an obstruction, and reverse the gate back to the open position.

• Exit Loops

  If you are hosting company at your home, an exit loop saves you the time and hassle of having to sending a signal for the gate to open for them. The loops detect vehicles already on the property and allows them to exit without the need for a remote.

• Entry System

  As the first point of access onto the property, the driveway gate is a critical step in keeping intruders away. As such, you will want to use this opportunity to be able to authorize who can enter the property. You will find a wide range of gate entry systems with many functions that allow you to access the gate opener receiver with your cell phone, use a PIN-controlled keypad, or view who is at the gate with the use of video surveillance.
