Save time & stay safe by not getting out of the car to open or close your gate. Why not automate your gate with a motorization system? Use a remote control because you can even control your gate remotely. So to find the most suitable motor for your home keep on reading below.

Swing gate or sliding gate? This is the big question to ask. Installing an exterior gate requiressufficientclearance or backflow. The choice is yours according to the space available and the inclination of the ground.

The swinging gate

Composed of two leaves, the leaf opening is between 90° and 180° either from the inside (pushing), ideal at the edge of the property or from the outside (pulling). Optimal interior and exterior clearance is then provided for its correct operation. The swing opening is compatible with access to flat ground and sloping streets thanks to lifting systems, but the leaves must not obstruct public roads. This type of configuration at the edge of the property should be avoided. And on a floor rising towards the house, prefer an exterior opening.

The sliding gate

The gate is a must in life at home, because it is used almost daily. We think it is above all practical. The opening direction influences the clearance area to be provided . To project yourself, position yourself in front of your house.

A gate swinging in the pushing direction opens on the home side and is generally configured with a straight pushing direction. There must be enough room to park a vehicle, open the leaves and move around freely while maintaining a safety margin.

A gate swinging in the pulling direction opens the door on the street side. If it encroaches on the public highway, sidewalk or roadway, contact your municipality to obtain the necessary authorizations.

For a sliding gate, we are particularly interested in the position, closed or open, which determines the discharge to the left or to the right.
