Gate Automation

The right system keeps your property secure, compliant, and moving smoothly

we design and install gate activation and safety systems

It is important the gate openers work reliably to open and close the gate at will. It is of equal or greater importance that the system is equipped with the proper safety equipment to protect against injury and meet code. At Power Gate Opener Systems, we design and install gate activation and safety systems that meet UL-325 code requirements while fitting your specific property, traffic volume, and security needs.

Find the Right Solution for Your Property

From simple keypad entry to smartphone-enabled access, we install and service a full range of gate activation systems for residential and commercial properties.

Keypads
Secure, code-based entry right from your vehicle. A reliable and straightforward solution for everyday residential and commercial access.
Wireless Keypads
A cost-effective entry option for low-volume applications. Not the right fit for every system, but an excellent solution where simplicity is the priority.
Telephone Entry Keypads
Communicate directly from the gate entry point to a designated phone line or intercom. Features include local and remote access control, entry request notifications, and gate hold-open options.
Android NFC Keypads
Use your Android smartphone to open your gate with a tap. Modern NFC-enabled keypads work with a free app, making access effortless and keycode-free.
Card Readers
An elevated security solution where entry codes can't be shared. Access is limited to the person physically holding the card — ideal for controlled commercial environments.
Radio Transmitters & Receivers
The most common and convenient way to control a gate. Operate your system from inside your vehicle or building using a radio transmitter remote paired with a frequency receiver.

Gate Safety

Power Gate Opener Systems is committed to the highest safety standards for our power-operated entry systems by meeting and exceeding the requirements of the UL325 standard. Our entry-systems are tested extensively to ensure that they comply with this code. Among these safety standards are easily visible warning placards placed on both sides of the gate, and external sensing devices that protect against entrapment.

Gate Safety

Vehicle Sensing Loops
Inductive loops layed under the pavement or cut into it provide convenience and protection for equipment. Loops on either side of the gate stop the gate from closing on a vehicle while an additional loop down the secure side of the driveway starts the gate opening as the vehicle approaches for effortless exits.
Safety Equipment

Gates with openers are reqired by various building and fire codes to meet safety criteria. Be sure your installer is familiar with the requirements and standards for the industry to ensure safe operation of your gate opener system. Safety equipment is specifically designed to protect persons against injury or death and must be present on all gates that are connected to power openers.
Contact Sensor

Contact sensors reverse the gate after the gate has made contact with a person or object. This allows safety equipment to be mounted on moving gates to protect spaces that cannot be protected by other safety sensors.
Non-contact sensors

Non-contact sensors are the preferred method of safety equipment because the gate will reverse before hitting a person or object. The most common method of non-contact sensor is a photo-electric eye. We strongly recommend using a thru-beam style which has an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. In the upper midwest we have seen photo-electric eyes that use reflectors fail time and time again. The eye receives the infrared beam and allows the gate to function until the beam is broken for a person or object at which point the gate reverses. These are often used across driveways.
