Driveway Gates – Guarding Your Home With A Driveway Gate

clcintx — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:25:29 +0000

A driveway can be defined as a private road. It is a private road for local access. It provides access to one building structure or a small group of structures. A driveway is often owned, managed and maintained by an individual or group or individuals.Driveways can be decorated, like in ways that public roads which can not be. This is due to their lighter traffic. It is also due to the willingness of an owner to invest in their construction. Driveways are often not resurfaced or snow blown or kept up by any governmental body. These gates are often designed to conform to the often age old architecture of home or other building to which the driveway is connected home or other building.

The cars are often parked in longer driveways and that leaves the streets clear from the traffic. In the city of Pasadena, there is a certain time limit for parking. The cars cannot be parked from 2 am till 6 am. This results in deeper driveways having been built. Residential driveways are also frequently used by their owners for things such as a Garage Sale or an auction, auto washing, repair, recreation etc., most notably in North America for playing a game of basketball.
Material used for building driveways includes concrete and cement, decorative bricks, in combination with grass or other ground cover plants.

Driveways, like all personal property, need to be protected. To aid you in protecting your driveway is available many driveway gates, which we often call, driveway entrance gates, driveway security gate etc.

Driveway gates are the first defense that your home has against unwanted elements. Driveway gates are very useful to keep intruders at bay. Driveway Gates, also known as driveway security gates are often the cause of many a foiled robbery plans. Driveway gates are often customized according to the wishes of a house owner. Driveway security gates are the best resource available to protect your property against unwanted elements and to keep them at bay.

Driveway gates are of many types. Some of them are Electromechanical while others are mechanical. You also have hydraulic driveway gates. Electromechanical Driveway Security Gates use power from the mains. This power is used to open the driveway gate to let in the person standing outside. Generally there are three types of electromechanical driveway gates i.e. Worm driven driveway gates which are also called Screw type driveway gates, articulated arm operated driveway gates and underground operated driveway gates. Electrical and automated driveway Gate openers are designed for both types of driveway gates i.e. the sliding gates and the swinging gates and also the fences. These gate openers can be programmed to open with a manual device. One can also use a wireless transmitter. These automatic driveway gate operators are also many a times fitted with solar panels. This ensures their smooth function during blackouts or during loss of electricity.

The second type of driveway gates is the hydraulic gates. Hydraulic driveway gate openers are used to open a hydraulic driveway gate. They have less moving parts as compared to the other driveway gates and are often more effective.

New Liftmaster Variable Speed Heavy Duty Slide Gate Operator

Zoe — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 15:23:59 +0000

Chamberlain Professional Products®, the single source provider for secure, convenient and quality products for every access point, introduces the LiftMaster® Variable Speed Heavy Duty Slide Gate Operator (Model VSL 595). Further enhancing the dealer’s portfolio of gate access solutions, the VSL 595 features unrivaled engineering that makes it an ideal gate operator for commercial applications where securing an opening quickly and efficiently is vital to the location, such as airports, manufacturing plants, government facilities, as well as detention centers or prisons. As the newest addition to the LiftMaster family of heavy duty slide gate operators, the VSL 595 model is equipped with a high-starting torque, continuous-duty industrial DC motor. With variable speed functionality, the power of the operator enables it to quickly ramp up to speeds of 2.2 feet per second and support gate lengths up to 70 feet and 1,700 pounds while still maintaining soft start and stop operation.

Designed for high security installations, the VSL 595 is outfitted with features that benefit professionals both during installation and maintenance checks. In addition to ensuring simple and secure access, the VSL 595 features manual disconnect, which ensures that manual operation is possible during emergencies and maintenance work. Coupled with this feature, the VSL 595 also offers an optional Secure Fire Department Release Box that allows the gate to be manually disconnected from the opposite side of the fence so firefighters have immediate access at all times. This heavy-duty slide gate operator disconnect can also be reengaged without having to reset open and close limits, providing reliable performance for dealers in the field. Also, the fully enclosed, NEMA3E, pre-galvanized 16-gauge steel, hinged-cabinet that houses the operator is oil-tight, weatherproof and lockable, deterring vandalism attempts on the operator. Additionally, on the outside of the control box is an integrated three-button control station that can help speed up installation and provide easy access when troubleshooting. The VSL 595 is also outfitted with an external reset button, offering a simple, quick and convenient option when resetting the operator after the alarm has been activated.

“Equipped with an exhaustive list of safety and security features and the ability to operate at high speeds for quick and controlled access, this extreme-duty slide gate operator is engineered to support the functional needs of even the most high-security commercial applications,” said Ken Roehl, vice president, marketing, Chamberlain Professional Products. “This reliable and rugged addition to the LiftMaster line of commercial gate operators provides dealers with a technically advanced, powerful gate access solution, helping to differentiate them in the marketplace as well as springboard them into specialty markets such as high-security commercial and industrial channels.”

Adding to the list of standard features on this unit, such as a built-in 312HM radio receiver, an adjustable timer and a two-year warranty, this heavy duty slide gate operator is powered by the LiftMaster gate logic (GL) board. The gate logic board controls a fully adjustable inherent obstruction detection system, meaning that if the gate strikes an obstruction, a closing gate will reverse to open and an opening gate will stop. This system also provides inputs for external contact and non-contact sensors such as photo-eyes and edge devices that are synonymous with LiftMaster product safety features.
