Electric Gate Safety Tips
Gate motors are safe when they're set up properly. Here are the safety fundamentals every household should have in place.
Safety beams are non-negotiable
Every powered gate should have functional infrared safety beams — no exceptions. They stop the gate closing on a person, pet or vehicle. Test them monthly by breaking the beam with a stick as the gate closes.
Know where the manual release is
Every household member who might need to open the gate should know where the manual release is and how to use it. Do a family walkthrough.
Never let children play near the gate
A moving gate has real force behind it. Keep children and pets clear of the gate path, and don't let anyone stand in the swing arc while the gate is moving.
Have a load-shedding plan
Test your backup battery monthly. If it's showing signs of failure, replace it — see gate motor battery replacement.
