Here Cheshire Metalcraft we work with and install only the highest quality automated gates. We use leading brands for the system including BFT, Videx and Nice and these all come with a 2-year warranty. Automatic gates aren’t just for celebrities and the super-rich, and they have many benefits. The main purpose of a gate is to keep people out and to keep you in, particularly you have children. If you have an automatic gate your peace of mind increases significantly as the gate can’t be opened by just anyone, including your children. This reduces the risks linked with children playing in the garden by themselves – we’ve all seen at some point or another an innocent child chasing a football into the road, riding their bikes into the path of an oncoming vehicle and it does make your heart jump. Wandering off after the neighbourhood cat can happen too, innocently enough but still it’s dangerous. It also decreases the risk of strangers getting into your garden to or into your property. It’s awful to imagine, but your child’s safety comes first. Automatic gates stop salesmen and canvassers who call at your home when you’re eating your tea. They also keep out dodgy scammers and your car is safer too, behind automatic gates where it can’t be driven off the driveway in the middle of the night.
Having automatic gates brings with it the chance that something can go wrong. One morning you’re trying to open the gates, but they’re stuck. You’re pressing every key, doing all the right things with the fob but nothing is happening. That’s why there’s a manual override function that we show you how to operate. You can call us and we’ll be happy to help you, but the manual override is your first port of call and usually the problem is resolved that way. The manual override works in cases of emergencies, which is crucial and we will not install an automatic gate without one.
If you’re considering automatic gates but aren’t sure, give us a call or pop into our yard and we’d be more than happy to go through things with you. For automatic gates in Manchester and the surrounding Cheshire areas, give us a call today.
