Straightforward Installation

 

Automated gate installation can seem like an incredibly complex procedure only to be undertaken by specialist installers.

 

We recommend that any automated gates are installed by specialist gate installers. However, the Life range of gate automation is relatively straightforward to install and set up.

 

Many building firms will have some experience of working on basic automated gates and will be able to provide a competitive installation service for the average homeowner.

 

If you're competent at DIY and have undertaken similar projects in the past, it's possible you could install the gates yourself.

 

However, by keeping the price of the bundled kit and gate low, the intent is to help customers to afford a qualified installer.

 

 

Professional Installers

 

The bundle has also proven popular with professional installation teams who have been able to suggest it as a great choice for homeowners on a budget.

 

The kits have widened the potential market for automated gates by making them easy to understand, and much more affordable.

 

The kits are very straightforward for a professional technician to install.

Some motor kits are more challenging to programme and can take a while to master.

It can be up and operating within a few minutes of being installed.

 

That simplicity doesn't compromise its functionality, however, and you can expect to enjoy many years of reliable use.

 

The Life Aluminium Sliding Gate Automation Bundle and the swing gate option both represent outstanding value.

 

The components have been carefully chosen to be an entry-level automated gate option for homeowners or light usage at commercial properties.
