Automatic gates are widespread. There are many types of them, most of which can be made with your own hands, but the help of specialists, of course, will not hurt.
Automatic gates make people's lives more comfortable, because you don’t have to spend every day effort and time opening and closing them. The electric drive will successfully do these actions.
If you decide to make a gate with your own hands, then (to simplify the work) you will first need to make a swing structure. Make it much easier than other types of gates. In addition, it is reliable and durable.
DIY swing gates
It is necessary to measure the doorway, check the possibility of its modernization. In order to install automation elements, at least 0.25-0.3 m of free space should remain on both sides of the opening.
The gate manufacturing process will consist of the following:
- manufacture of the frame;
- welding of the frame;
- sheathing the frame with metal sheets;
- installation of loops by welding;
- installation of the lock and constipation (pin).
An automatic lever-type drive can be installed on the gate. It has excellent operational characteristics: reliability, compactness and ease of use.
Automation Recommendations
The automation of Italian companies has proven itself remarkably: Nice, Came, FAAC. Excellent products are produced by the Russian company DoorHan. Their products are effective for operation at low temperatures in Russia.
The longevity of the automation depends on the accuracy of the installation of the swing gates, the better they are exposed, the easier the movement will occur. The door leaf skew is not allowed, and the hinges must be well lubricated.
It is necessary to follow the instructions from the manufacturer, use proven measuring tools to set the levers, because even a slight shift can lead to an imbalance of the entire system.
