Electric Gates by Mitech.

Electric gates are becoming more popular every year. Customers now want more flexibility, and peace of mind that their property will remain safe and sound in their absence.

Today, there are so many different systems to choose from and Mitech  is dedicated to providing you with only the best solution. We manufacture gates for the Automation Trade across the UK, which provides great insight into what is currently trending, and what type of automation is delivering the reliability customers demand. 

Key Benefits of Electric Gates
1. Enhanced Security

One of the primary reasons homeowners invest in electric gates is to improve the security of their property. Electric gates serve as a physical barrier that deters unauthorized access. With advanced control systems such as keypads, intercoms, and even video surveillance integration, you have complete control over who enters your property. In addition to deterring potential intruders, they create a safe boundary for children and pets, keeping them secure within the property.

2. Convenience at Your Fingertips

Gone are the days of manually opening and closing your gates. With electric gates, you can effortlessly control access to your property with the touch of a button. Whether you’re driving home in the rain or receiving deliveries, the convenience of automated entry is unparalleled. Many systems now offer integration with smart home technology, allowing you to control and monitor your gates from your smartphone, no matter where you are.

3. Curb Appeal and Property Value

Electric gates add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any property. Whether crafted from sleek steel or beautifully designed wood, these gates not only enhance your home’s curb appeal but can also increase its overall value. Prospective buyers often see automated gates as a luxury feature, making your property more attractive on the market.

4. Durability and Customization

Today’s electric gates are built to withstand the elements, providing durability and longevity. Materials like Accoya, hardwood, or powder-coated metal are specifically designed for long-lasting use with minimal maintenance. Electric gates can also be customized to fit your home’s style, from traditional to modern designs, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your surroundings.

5. Increased Privacy

Electric gates offer an extra layer of privacy, especially in homes where driveways are close to public roads or footpaths. High-quality gates paired with secure fencing can shield your home from unwanted attention, creating a more private living environment.

Choosing the Right Electric Gate for Your Home
When choosing electric gates, there are several factors to consider:

Material: Wooden gates bring a natural, warm aesthetic, while metal gates offer a sleek, contemporary look. Accoya wood is an excellent option for those seeking a sustainable, long-lasting material. Aluminium offers a more industrial look than wood and is easy to keep clean.
Gate Type: There are several types of electric gates, including sliding, swing, and bi-fold gates. The best choice depends on the space available and your personal preference.
Automation System: Choose between remote controls, keypads, intercom systems, and even smartphone integration. Many systems also come with safety features like sensors to prevent the gates from closing on vehicles or people.

Ready to Secure Your Home?

If you’re considering investing in electric gates, we’re here to help. Contact us today to discuss your needs and explore our range of custom-designed electric gates that will enhance the security, privacy, and style of your home.

We design and tailor every electric gateway to your exact needs. For example, if it’s a high use gateway, we will use a system that will withstand the constant motion which is often found with 24volt systems, as they are built for high frequency of operation.

As most of our handmade electric wooden gates carry an air of class and elegance, we tend to use the underground system. NICE L Fab and Big Fab underground units are the two main automation motors we install on our gateways. If its a small to medium pair of Barred or open designed gates we would use the 4000 series L Fab underground units. For bigger and more filled in gateways the 5000 series Big fab is the perfect motor for more power. 

Both motors come with inherent safety features which is the case for any safe gateway before looking at ribs and beams. Gates will glide into the final position and auto slow down to prevent trapping.

The beauty of this system is that it is buried at the base of the gate’s hinge-end. With the correct drainage built in, the galvanised box will last for years, as will its stainless steel counterpart, which has a better resistance to rot. As the box is underneath the gate, there is no sign that the gates are automated, giving an all-round professional look to your driveway entrance.

All gates manufactured by Mitech Joinery are made primary for automation. Strength and structural ability of the wooden fully morticed and tenoned frame is paramount in providing the strength required on a pair of electrically operated gates.

Take a basic approach to your automated gates with the three simple factors, below.
