Sliding gates - one of the most popular options for the device of the gate mechanism for entering the garage, the courtyard, the territory of the enterprise. Such gates are not only easy to design, but also durable and easy to use.
Sliding gate mechanism
The principle of the sliding door mechanism is quite simple. This design is a gate consisting of one or two flaps installed on a special system of guides and moving parallel to the plane of the gate. If it is necessary to open, the doors of such gates slope apart (like the doors in the closet), and not open outside or inside the courtyard. Thus, such a mechanism is very convenient in terms of saving space in front of and behind the gate. There is no need to clear entry and exit from snow, sand or foliage before opening the gate. This design also allows you to install any buildings or objects in the immediate vicinity of the gate - their work will not hurt. It is also convenient to use sliding structures in the event that in the immediate vicinity of the gate there is a carriageway and the opening or closing of the doors with a swing mechanism can become a hindrance to traffic.
Depending on the design features, mechanical and automatic sliding gates are distinguished. The first open manually by muscular strength of the person, in the second case a special electric drive is installed on the gate, which opens and closes the gate by command from a special panel or when exposed to a sensor installed at the entrance to the gate. The automatic drive gives more comfort and convenience in use, due to which it is more popular.
Design and application of automatic sliding gates
Most often used such structures for entry and exit from the courtyard or the homestead territory. In this case, the sliding gates can have a beautiful design and one solid leaf, because they will be visible from the street or from the driveway to the house. Another option is the sliding garage door. They are easy to install and operate, and the installation of an automatic opening and closing system makes it even easier for the garage owner to live. In this case, such gates can be supplied as one leaf, moving to the side, and two, moving in opposite directions.
If we talk about design and materials for such gates, then the decisive word is for the customer. Automatic sliding metal gates will serve a very long time, they look reliable and neat. Similar properties have a gate made of corrugated board. The gate from the wooden boards fixed in a metal frame, look more refined, but they will need periodic maintenance. The only strict requirement for the design of such gates is the lack of protruding details of the decor, as they will interfere with the free movement of the wings.
Also worth mentioning is the location of such gates relative to the entire fence . If the length allows, the entry for transport is made separately from the gate, but in case of lack of space it is possible to equip and a sliding gate with a built-in wicket that will open into the courtyard.
