Sliding Gate, installed in Chiddingfold, Surrey by Auto Secure Systems.
Beninca Proper Job Install February 2023
Overview
Auto Secure Systems are specialists in the automatic gate industry, with over 25 years of experience, they have built a reputation for installing high-quality electric gates.
For this particular project, their customer based in Chiddingfold, Surrey, initially enquired about looking for new automated swing gates to be installed at the front of their driveway. After Auto Secure Systems visited the site and inspected the entrance, it was clear there wasn’t a massive threshold and if swing gates were to be installed, they would open outwards, restricting access to the property from the main road. On this basis, Auto Secure Systems recommended an alternative solution of installing a sliding gate, making better use of the driveway space and ultimately much easier access.
Challenges
Positively, Auto Secure Systems said this project didn’t pose any challenges, other than working in the elements and unpleasant weather at the time. However, even working against the typically British weather, Auto Secure Systems are seasoned pros and delivered the project on time.
Automation
Auto Secure Systems powered the sliding gate using a Benincà BULL1224 TURBO sliding gate motor, capable of powering gate leaf’s up to a hefty weight of 1200 Kg. Samuel from Auto Secure Systems confirmed ‘I am a massive fan of the Benincà Bull turbo range, including the BULL624 Turbo and the BULL1224 Turbo. In this instance, I decided to use the BULL1224 Turbo due to its capabilities of running at incredible speeds of 24 m/min. It is an extremely robust and reliable motor!’
Auto Secure Systems are passionate about gate safety and installed five ASO safety edges, including the leading safety edge, alongside Benincà Pupilla photocells. For guests visiting the property, a stylish Optimus 4G Telguard intercom was installed on the front gate post, for communication and authorised access.
Auto Secure Systems have also added the finishing touches of a dusk till dawn sensor which controls the Collingwood LED lights.
Conclusion
Auto Secure Systems said the end customer was absolutely over the moon with the entrance and delighted with the wooden sliding gate and automation. We are always happy to hear of our network of professional installers using their experience and knowledge to best guide end users and deliver outstanding entrances, not only aesthetically but also for practicability. We select the proper jobs not only on the end result but on this occasion, we also know the installation details of the significant foundations and the RSJ that supports the ground track, knowing that this job will last the test of time and was put in right in the first place.
We are therefore thrilled to award this particular installation with our Benincà Proper Job Install award for February 2023. Congratulations Auto Secure Systems!
