They Take Up Less Space
Gates that fold instead of swing wide open can be great choices for homes that have less space. For example, if you live in the middle of Los Angeles, live in a condo building, or have a short, narrow driveway, then a folding ate can be the best choice. Even if you have enough room, consider that you may be able to make better use of that space if you had a folding gate.
They Are Work When Other Gates Do Not
Some driveways can be complicated. If you live on a steep slope, if your driveway is curved or strangely shaped, or if your driveway is on a small lot, then a folding gate may work for you when other types of gates simply would not work.
They Are Easy to Automate
For homeowners who want the latest in home security, folding gates are great choices. Whether you use a remote or a digital keypad, you can control when and how the gate opens and closes. There are advanced options too for added security, such as using a gate keypad that involves various different number codes so you always know who opened the gate, electronic swipe cards, or access via a mobile app.
Maintenance Requirements Are Generally Lower than on Other Gates
A traditional gate runs on tracks that are installed on the ground, and then rollers slide through them. There are some folding gates that use a modified version of this, but tracks are not always necessary on folding gates. This can be great news because tracks can accumulate leaves, dirt, and debris.
They Open Faster and More Quietly
On average, a folding gate will open about four seconds faster than a swinging or sliding gate. This offers more security and is simply more convenient. Folding gates are also quieter – in fact, they are nearly silent. If you want to make sure there is no loud screeching, you can choose a folding gate.
Of course, folding gates are not the only option and there are many traditional gates we can install that are secure, quiet, and easy to automate. If you are ready to find out more about your garage door options, contact Dynamic Garage Door at 855-343-3667.
