Tulsa-Specific Considerations
Oklahoma weather affects gate operators. Ice, heat, wind, all of it. We specify equipment rated for the conditions.
Power outages require consideration. Most systems include manual release. Battery backup is optional for continued operation during outages.
Safety codes apply to automatic gates. We install required safety devices to meet UL 325 standards.

All automatic gates have manual release so you can open them by hand. Battery backup is available for gates that need to operate during outages.
How do guests get in?
Options include keypads with codes, intercom systems where guests call you, or you can let them in with your remote. What works depends on your preference.
Can you automate my existing gate?
