It’s important that your door and gate operators work reliably all of the time, during both the opening and closing phases of use. Models that can be trusted to work effectively carry with them a range of benefits that easily give value for the upfront cost of installation. These are the main types of door and gate operators which can each provide you with great utility.
Garage Door Operators
These provide not only total convenience for you – no more getting out of your car at night or in stormy weather – but they’re also a great way to ensure your security, as you always have a clear path to go into your garage with little delay between opening the gate and garage door from your hand transmitter.
Some door operators that are available use new BiSecur radio technology that utilises the very same 128-bit encryption used by banks. This makes the operators’ transmissions more secure, whilst adding a larger operating distance with a more reliable signal and also carrying a ‘status query’ function which shows you whether the garage door is open or closed. The BiSecur gateway allows for the convenient controlling of your garage door through the use of your smartphone or tablet, which also can display the position and locking state of the garage door.
Entrance Gate Operators
These offer a level of security that can’t be found otherwise, with entrance gates acting as a strong deterrent while making it difficult to gain near access to the house with a vehicle. The latest models give quiet, stable door travel with a soft start and stop function. Modern makes also have an obstacle detection function that avoids any damage being caused by the gate. Other useful functions often found include automatic timers, partial gate opening, as well as additional optional features such as a dedicated battery or solar panel.
The contemporary-styled and sleek RotaMatic entrance gate operator fits seamlessly with a hinged gate. The safety features and functions can run even without connection to the mains electricity; it can be hooked up to either a battery or solar panel. Alternatively, the VersaMatic hinged door operator offers an integrated control that makes it a perfect fit for unusually shaped drives. Its fitting position can be made to vary, allowing it to be adjusted to an optimal position for any entrance. With a close speed that can be adjusted accordingly, this is the versatile option that can give smooth door operating for all door sizes.
Internal Door Operators
These offer a way to make your home completely barrier-free, automatically opening and closing your internal doors via a hand transmitter or a button. This is particularly suited for those with physical disabilities who will benefit hugely from the added ease of access in their home, but this technology can be a huge convenience to anyone.
A door operator that comes recommended by the German Association for Gerontology Technology is the PortaMatic. It features a wide range of functions and settings which work off a remarkably low power consumption while being inexpensive compared to other door operators on the market. It’s perfectly suited to elderly customers due to its wide-ranging convenience, quality of build, and unobtrusive aesthetic.
Door Operators Can Provide Convenience, Security, And Comfort To Your Home
There is a wide range of door operators to fit a host of needs and requirements. Whether it’s simply the convenience of moving seamlessly into your garage, driveway, and even though your house, or more for the security of knowing that there are additional, impenetrable barriers to entering your home, the latest indoor operator technology can provide you with the peace of mind and comfortable living that you desire.
