How do you decide whether to choose a sliding or swing automated gate from ZKTeco and Centurion brands? The answer to this question is extensively covered by DataWorld team of professionals who are dedicated to help customers make informed decisions regarding the most suitable automated gate to choose. First, it is important to understand the difference between swing and sliding door.

Factors to Consider when Choosing Automatic Gates

Space Availability

The first factor to consider when choosing an automatic gate is the amount of available space to work with. Automatic gate ground systems require ample space behind the gate. Mostly, the ram arm automatic gates need about 180 mm between the gates. On the other hand, the articulated arm type requirements a large pillar of at least 200 mm for adequate support. As a result, there are many solutions for those working limited space, or explicit requirements in the area of gates installation. Gates must move freely from any obstacles when opening and closing like trees, walls, and steps. Swing Gate is an old-fashioned style of automated gate and it needs an arc equal to the width of the for free movement when closing and opening. Sliding Gates on the other hand these require less space considering that they only need adequate space on either side as opposed to the front of the gates. The area sliding gates slide into have to be slightly longer than the length of the gates. ZKTeco and Centurion offer telescopic, bi-parting and round corner sliders as the major types of sliding automated gates that can be used in limited space.

Sliding vs Swing Gate Designs

Swing gates – Automatic swing gates consist of two levers that open by rotating on a fulcrum. Normally, the doors open inwards, but it can be changed depending on terrain and ground where gate is located. Sliding gates – Automatic sliding gates, on the contrary, have a movable part that slides on a grid placed on the ground horizontally. It is an impeccable solution for compounds with limited space.The type of entrance to your property determines the type of gate you will require. For instance, driveways that slope upwards toward the house work better with a sliding gate. This option takes up less room than swing gates while giving complete access to your driveway from different angles. Ultimately, Sliding gates provide superior levels of security as they are harder to force open.

Materials and Maintenance

Timber, steel, and wrought iron are three common gate materials for automated gates. All three materials require maintenance, and the level of that maintenance depends on your home’s location. Both steel and wrought iron rust very fast, particularly coastal regions where air is salt-laden. Regular repainting exercises are required to protect against rust. To address this issue, we at DataWorld can organize for stainless steel gates that require low maintenance as it is resistant to rust.

Power supply Requirements and control systems

Most electric gate systems require a standard domestic power supply in the gate area, which require professional installation to minimize the risk of short-circuiting. This power supply is also utilized for intercoms and lighting systems related to the automatic gate system. Regarding controls systems, hydraulic systems are quieter, offer better resistance to wind, and generally have a longer life span. However, they are more expensive to install. If wind and noise aren’t a priority, electromechanical systems offer an affordable option to consider. In reference to the control systems, the question of whether the gate is meant for domestic use where access and exit can be a few times a day or commercial use where the frequency of access and exit is high should be factored. For domestic use, the gate operating system will require light duty motor that is capable of reliably serving the customer without failure that can compromise security. On the other hand, a heavy duty motor should be used where automatic gates are installed in commercial property to ensure that can handle the workload in a satisfactory manner. We at DataWorld are committed to giving our customers all the necessary information to ensure that they make informed choices.
