Electric Gates & Controls Serving Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge area residents who choose to install wrought iron gates along the entrance to their homes typically do so for the added level of security they provide. After all, you don’t want just anyone walking up to your carport, down your driveway, or into your backyard, do you? We think not.

While many local homeowners just like you have chosen wrought iron gates for their Baton Rouge homes, some think that a manual solution that needs a person to open and shut it upon every entry and exit will suffice.

Usually, these clients call us back in a matter or weeks or months desperate for help installing electric gates and controls!

Key Questions to Consider:

Below are just a few of the operational questions that should be considered:

  • how many “clickers” will be needed
  • how many times a day will the gate be opened and closed
  • how far away from the house will the gate opener be installed
  • is there a need for keypad
  • is there a need to have an intercom system or telephone entry system
  • is there a need for the gate to automatically open upon exiting the property

The Convenience Factor

Electric Gates & Controls

When you have a manual gate, you have to get out of your car every time you want to open the gate, drive through the entrance or exit, get back out of your car to manually shut the gate, and then get back into the car to either park or continue on to your destination.

Do that once or twice when it’s hot and humid, or during one of our frequent summer downpours, and you’ll know why so many homeowners prefer electric gates!

Don’t Trust Just Anyone to Install an Electric Gate

Electric Gate

You may be tempted to go with the lowest quote you’ve received for an electric gate installation on your home’s property, even if that contractor isn’t fully licensed or ensured.

But buyer, beware!

Due to ingress and egress regulations and fire safety protocols, the state of Louisiana requires any fencing contractors like us to be specially trained and licensed in order to install electric gates.

Trust us.

When it comes to ensuring your family’s safety in an emergency situation, it just isn’t worth it to go with a no-name electric gate installer who promises to do the job correctly despite not having the proper training or state licensing.

This is definitely not an area where you want to cut corners just to save a couple of bucks!
