Driveway Gate Automation in Montgomery County
An automated gate is more than a convenience—it's a commitment to your property's privacy and security. At The Fence Squad, we specialize in high-performance swing and slide gate systems that integrate seamlessly with your existing perimeter.
High-Performance Operator Systems
We don't just "install gates"; we engineer entry points. Our veteran crews utilize industrial-grade operators from **LiftMaster** and **Viking**, ensuring your gate cycles reliably 365 days a year. Whether you require a sleek modern sliding gate or a grand ornamental double-swing estate gate, our systems are built for Pennsylvanian weather conditions.
Technical Spec: Solar and Backup Power
To ensure your estate remains secure and accessible, The Fence Squad offers robust **solar-powered gate operator systems**. Using high-efficiency panels and deep-cycle batteries, these systems operate reliably even in remote locations or during local power outages. Every residential system includes a battery backup that allows for dozens of cycles when the grid goes down.
Safety First: Compliance and Protection
Automated gates are heavy machinery. We prioritize safety by installing UL 325 compliant systems equipped with **Photo-Eye sensors** and **Loop Detectors**. These features detect vehicles, pedestrians, or pets in the gate's path, preventing accidental closure and protecting your family and assets.
Expert Gate QA
Can I make my existing gate automatic?
Often, yes. If your current gate is structurally sound, level, and swings freely, we can retrofit a precision operator system to it. We will conduct a structural diagnostic to ensure the posts can handle the torque and weight of automation.
How much does an automated estate gate cost?
Custom automated estate gate systems in Montgomery County typically range from **$8,000 to $20,000+**. This investment covers high-grade custom fabrication, heavy-duty motors, masonry columns, and access integration.
What happens if the power goes out?
All of our LiftMaster and Viking residential systems come standard with battery backup. This allows the gate to continue functioning normally for multiple cycles. Manual release keys are also included for emergency manual override.
