We have compiled a collection of frequently asked questions to help answer issues that our clients have identified.
Should I go with a single swing gate?
No , not unless absolutely necessary , Gravity is ever present and Hinge damage and Extreme leverage causing damage to motor anchor positions , are major causes of High maintenance and ongoing costs .
Do I need 240 volt power to both sides of the driveway ?
No , Only to one side , If a double-swing , supply a loose power cable to opposite side in conduit .
Can a sliding gate cross behind a Pedestrian gate ?
Yes , Robogate has perfected a way of making the gate jump over the pathway and also place a magnetic kill switch to the motor .
Can I get away with low voltage to the gate?
Yes, if not more than 15 metres from the house , and the gate is not too heavy or on a major slope .
Why place a 240 volt motor on a slope ?
Because you need GRUNT,
Are the gates made of Aluminium?
No , All our gates are Steel , Pre-galvanised section .
What Powdercoat colour should I choose,?
We suggest Dulux powdercoat colours , and strongly recommend " Colorbond " colours , as Bunnings carries a full range of " White-Knight " touch up spray cans in case of " Graffitti .
If I want a slider , how much " Back- space " do I need ?
Add 500mm to the actual driveway opening so that gate and motor are completely off the driveway when open.
