Climate change, whether you agree with it or not, has made us think about the environment. Yet being kind to the environment does not mean you have to completely change how you live your life. In fact, with the robust advancements being made in technology, you are able to live a eco-friendly and convenient lifestyle with all the essential amenities, without the need to alter your lifestyle. One home comfort which may be considered a luxury are solar powered electric gates available via us here at LinkCare.

Technology has advanced tremendously meaning it’s now possible for homeowners to have an automated gate which is completely powered by solar energy, such as our Nice SOLEMYO system. The main advantage of this particular system is that all you need is a little sunshine. Regardless of whether you have a long driveway, or you live in an isolated and rural setting – you can still benefit from our SOLEMYO system, because it’s powered via solar energy. This means there is no need for a mains power source to power the system.

At Linkcare we appreciate that you may be sceptical about investing in our solar powered electric gates. Yet, we believe it’s worth remembering that solar power has become a very reliable source of renewable energy, even within the UK.

The SOLEMYO system works by using the power of the sun to continuously charge the a battery that will keep your gate system running day and night, come rain or shine. Which enables you to be environmentally friendly whilst saving on your running costs and benefitting from the convenience of electric gates.

If you’d like further information about how the SOLEMYO system works or you’d like guidance on the best solar powered electric gates for your family’s needs and requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact our team here at LinkCare, by calling 01895 232626.

Finding the best automation for electric gates can be a difficult task; especially if you’re not sure on which system would be best for your needs and requirements. Fortunately, our professional and honest team here at LinkCare are able to offer you impartial advice, based on our experience within the industry, to ensure that you get the best electric gate kit for your home.

Some of the automation systems we have available include:

RAM Systems

RAM systems are amongst the most economic automation type. Although not the most attractive of systems RAMs are extremely robust, holding the gate well without putting undue stress on the motor or the gate itself and are suitable for electric gates of nearly all sizes and weights.

For those looking for an automated system which promises to remain aesthetically pleasing once installed, then the underground system available via us here at LinkCare could be the ideal solution.

Underground System:

An Underground system is one of the most popular methods of automation in the UK. Housed almost entirely underground they do not interfere with the aesthetics of your electric gate. However, underground systems are not the most practical way to automate a gate as the underground motors can be prone to water-logging and the manner  in which the motor moves the gate can put great stress on both the gate and automation. By far the best solution for discrete automation would be the Erreka Magic system, fitted inside the pinions of the gate it is completely hidden from view.

Another fantastic and innovative system to recently reach the UK is the Wheel System.

Wheel System:

This is by far one of the most practical, fastest and safest types of automation, whilst also being easy to install. It is one of the only systems able to cope easily with gates installed on slopes and handles gravelled or chipped driveways with ease.

When you’re looking for a way to turn your current commercial or domestic gate into electric gates, one of these systems will be the ideal choice. If you’d like more information surrounding the range of gate automation kits available, contact us via 01895 232626.

Traditionally speaking, in many cultures it was the door that occupied a symbolic importance as the threshold to the home. Front doors were decorated with flowers, bells and mirrors, good luck charms were placed above them and even today it’s tradition for newly-wed husbands to carry their brides across the threshold. However there is a case for driveway gates being considered as equally as important, given the fact that they mark the absolute entrance to your property at large. Here at Kits 4 Gates we specialise in gate kits which can help secure this all important part of your home.

If you’ve taken the time and money to invest in gates for your driveway you’re probably already familiar with the security and privacy benefits that they bring.

We welcome all enquiries via the Contact Us page of our website.

Traditionally when thinking about automatic gates, many of us will imagine the stereotype of grand gates that are only seen at the end of driveways to houses which are owned by the rich and famous, in extremely affluent areas. However, as more people are becoming aware of the many benefits that automatic gates offer, they are becoming more popular for everyday homes. Here at Kits 4 Gates we supply and fit a range of gate kits at competitive prices.

Our bolt on gates, along with all our gates offer a huge range of benefits including heightened security for the property as you can control who does and doesn’t have access. They can also help to improve the appearance of the outside of your property if installed correctly and following the correct procedures.

However automatic gates, whether they are bolt on kits, sliding gates or swing gates, if installed incorrectly can become extremely dangerous, for a number of reasons. Fortunately, here at Kits 4 Gates, our team of professional gate installers – who are both qualified and accredited by BFT and CAME have been fitting automated gates for over fifteen years to homes across the country, and we only supply gates from leading UK based manufacturers.

By supplying gates and gate kits from UK based manufacturers, we can promise all our customers that they will receive a quick (and free) delivery service alongside very high quality gates, leaving you to enjoy the benefits that our gates offer sooner rather than later.

There can be no doubt that automated gates were a revolutionary invention which brought ease and convenience to countless homes worldwide. However in the early days of the industry homeowners were unable to get their hands on the vast array of gate enhancing accessories now available to the modern consumer. Here at Kits 4 Gates, ever ahead of the curve where innovation and market leading products are concerned we stock a variety of accessories, from remote controls to steel enclosures.  We’ve listed some of these below in the hope that homeowners get the very most out of their gates.

Photocells

This technology is mostly used as a safety feature. Comprising of two devices, an infrared beam is transmitted from the one mechanism to the other, which if broken, instantly stops or reverses the gate’s operation. This means that, should someone be in a position of danger whilst in use, the gates will cut out thus ensuring no one is hurt. Here at Kits 4 Gates most of our photocells are efficient up to a distance of 25 metres and many are supplied with automation kits as standard.

Steel Enclosures

Whilst these may not seem like the most alluring of investments, protecting your gate’s control panel with a protective enclosure like this can greatly increase its lifespan. Not only is the sensitive electrical equipment adequately protected from the elements, it is also hidden from view and even the most ambitious intruders’ attempts to gain entry to it are rendered fruitless.

Key Switches

The main benefit of automated gates is of course that they can be operated remotely without the need to leave a vehicle. However, in instances where manual operation by a number of users is commonplace, simple yet effective key switches like these are the answer.  Here at Kits 4 Gates we are happy to answer any questions regarding our accessories, so please fill out the enquiry form on our ‘Contact Us’ page.
