Which of the 3 Options for Opening Your Garage Door or Automatic Gate is Right for Your Home?

Most people searching for a custom gate or garage door don’t think much about the gate operator. Note that this isn’t the remote – but the actual device or motor that opens and closes the gate or door. A gate operator is necessary whether the door is for residential or commercial purposes. There are three main options, none of which is better than the others overall. However, one will be better for you based on your needs.

Read on to learn more about the options and then reach out to Dynamic Garage Door at 855-343-3667. We can create the exact gate or custom garage you need for your home. We can also explain the mechanical options to ensure that it doesn’t just look great but works great too.

Option 1: Swing gate operators

This is the easiest and likely the most reliable of the options. It’s a good choice for a gate that swings itself. If you have a large home or commercial property, then this could be a smart investment for gates that are located in high traffic areas. A swing gate operator comes with security devices that include security codes. This helps prevent unwanted guests from getting onto your property.

Option 2: Sliding gate operators

These are used for gates that slide open. There are a few different options within the category of sliding gate operators. The most common options you’re likely to see are gear gate operators and chain gate operators. They’re both generally about the same price but are different in that they work with different opening components. If you don’t want your gate to slide open then you won’t want a sliding gate operator.

Option 3: Dual gate operators

If you have more than one gate that you want to open and / or close at the same time then you’ll need a dual gate operator. This is a great choice for commercial properties, or for homes that have several garage doors that the owner wants to open at the same time. In most cases, one dual gate operator is going to be more affordable than buying two separate gate operators.

In addition to the type of gate operator, you’ll also need to decide on other factors. For example, do you want it to be made of plastic or metal? Metal is certainly more durable and a good choice compared to a plastic option, but they weigh a lot and can cost more.
