Question
How do I convert a manual gate to an automatic gate in Dubai?
The gate must move freely by hand and be strong enough for a motor. We fit a sliding rack-and-pinion or swing arm operator, add photocells, wire power and set the limits. A repair of the gate frame may come first.
Send a photo and the width, and say whether the gate slides or swings. A site visit is needed to check the pillars, the ground and the power.
See gate motors; send a photo of your gate for a first look.
Send the gate width, whether it slides or swings, the material, any motor label and where the power point is. Photos of the pillars and the ground in front of the gate help us plan the work.
