Making the right choice for your gate
The opening system depends on the layout of your gate entrance: clearance available inside and possible overlap outside.
Before choosing, check access to your home (on a slope, narrow…)
Leaf gate
- Traditional
- Quick opening
- Choice of opening direction: inwards or outwards
- Compatible with slope opening
Sliding gate
- Modern
- Attractive
- Requires a horizontal clearance surface
Why should you motorize your gate?
- No more manual efforts! You can open and close your gate without getting out of your car, parking on the pavement or leaving the house open for guests.
- To strengthen the level of security for your home.
- To control the gate, side door and garage door opening on a single command.
