Key Takeaways

  • Keypads provide secure access control without physical keys or remotes.
  • Wireless keypads allow for easy installation and convenient access.
  • Smartphone integration allows for remote control and temporary access granting.
  • Intercom systems improve communication with visitors and enhance security.

Keypads for Convenient Access Control

Keypads, with their user-friendly interface and ability to provide secure access control, are essential additions to electric gates for homeowners seeking convenience and enhanced functionality. These handy devices offer wireless options and smartphone integration, allowing you to easily control and monitor access to your property. With a keypad installed, you can effortlessly grant access to trusted individuals, such as family members or service providers, without the need for physical keys or remotes.

Wireless keypads eliminate the hassle of running wires from the gate to the control panel, providing a seamless and efficient installation process. They also offer the flexibility to be placed at convenient locations, ensuring easy access for authorized individuals. Moreover, smartphone integration takes convenience to a whole new level. By connecting your keypad to a compatible app, you can remotely control access to your property, receive real-time notifications, and even grant temporary access to guests or delivery personnel.

Transitioning into the subsequent section about intercom systems for enhanced communication, intercoms serve as an important communication tool between the homeowner and visitors.

Intercom Systems for Enhanced Communication

To enhance your communication, you’ll definitely want to consider installing intercom systems for seamless interaction with visitors. With wireless options and video capabilities, these systems offer convenience and security for your electric gate. Here are four reasons why intercom systems are a must-have accessory:

  1. Improved Convenience: With an intercom system, you can communicate with visitors without having to physically go to the gate. This saves time and effort, especially when you have multiple visitors or deliveries.

  2. Enhanced Security: Intercom systems allow you to verify the identity of visitors before granting access. This helps prevent unauthorized entry and keeps your property safe.

  3. Real-time Video Monitoring: Some intercom systems come with video capabilities, allowing you to see who is at the gate. This adds an extra layer of security and gives you peace of mind.

  4. Wireless Flexibility: Wireless intercom systems offer the advantage of easy installation and flexibility. You can place the intercom anywhere within range, eliminating the need for complex wiring.

In addition to enhancing communication, intercom systems pave the way for increased security. Safety sensors for increased security will be discussed next, ensuring comprehensive protection for your electric gate.

Safety Sensors for Increased Security

Ensure the utmost security for your property with safety sensors that provide an added layer of protection for you and your loved ones. Safety sensors are an essential component of electric gate accessories, designed to detect any obstructions or potential hazards in the gate’s path. These sensors use wireless technology to communicate with the gate control system, ensuring quick and accurate detection of any objects in the gate’s vicinity.

One of the key benefits of safety sensors is their ability to prevent accidents and injuries. By using infrared technology, these sensors can detect the presence of people or vehicles near the gate and automatically halt its operation to avoid any potential collisions. This feature is particularly important for homes with children or pets, as it provides an additional level of safety and peace of mind.

Furthermore, safety sensors can also be equipped with solar power capabilities. This means that they can operate without relying solely on an electrical power source, making them more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. By harnessing the power of the sun, these sensors can continue to function even during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted security for your property.

Safety sensors are an essential add-on for electric gates, providing increased security and peace of mind. Their wireless technology and solar power capabilities make them a reliable and energy-efficient choice. By incorporating safety sensors into your gate system, you can ensure the safety of your loved ones and protect your property. Transitioning into the subsequent section, remote controls for easy operation further enhance the functionality of electric gates.

Remote Controls for Easy Operation

For easy operation, you can effortlessly control your electric gate with a convenient remote control. Using advanced wireless technology, these remote controls offer seamless integration with your gate system, providing you with a hassle-free experience. Here are four key features of remote controls for electric gates:

  1. Wireless Technology: The remote control utilizes wireless communication to send signals to your gate, allowing you to open or close it from a distance. This eliminates the need for physical contact with the gate, providing convenience and safety.

  2. Smartphone Integration: With the latest advancements, some remote controls can be paired with your smartphone, enabling you to operate your electric gate through a dedicated app. This integration adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing you to control your gate with just a few taps on your phone screen.

  3. Secure Encryption: To ensure the security of your gate system, remote controls employ secure encryption protocols. This prevents unauthorized access and ensures that only authorized individuals can operate your gate.

  4. Multiple Control Options: Remote controls often offer multiple buttons or functions, allowing you to control different aspects of your gate system. This includes opening or closing the gate, activating the pedestrian mode, or adjusting the gate’s sensitivity.

With these advanced features, remote controls enhance the functionality and ease of use of your electric gate. In the subsequent section, we will explore additional features that can further customize and improve your gate system without missing a beat.

Additional Features for Customization and Convenience

Furthermore, incorporating these supplementary enhancements into your electric gate system can greatly elevate its performance and provide even greater convenience. One must-have add-on for customization and convenience is the smart lock feature. With a smart lock, you can easily control who has access to your property. You can create virtual keys for family members and trusted visitors, and even revoke access remotely if needed. This feature adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Another great addition to consider is the installation of solar panels. Solar panels can help power your electric gate system, reducing your reliance on traditional electricity sources. Not only is this environmentally friendly, but it can also save you money on your energy bills. Solar panels harness the power of the sun and convert it into usable electricity, ensuring that your gate system remains operational even during power outages.

By incorporating smart locks and solar panels into your electric gate system, you can enhance its functionality and make your life more convenient. With the ability to remotely control access and the added benefit of renewable energy, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is secure and that you are reducing your carbon footprint. So, consider these additional features for a customized and convenient electric gate system.

Conclusion

In conclusion, electric gate accessories are essential add-ons for optimizing the functionality of your gate. By incorporating keypads, intercom systems, safety sensors, remote controls, and additional features, you can enhance convenience, communication, security, and customization. These accessories not only provide ease of access but also ensure a safe and secure environment. With these must-have add-ons, you can take control of your electric gate and enjoy a seamless operation that caters to your specific needs. So, invest in these accessories today and experience the ultimate convenience and functionality for your electric gate.

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
