Recent reports from Neighborhood Scout state that 1 out of 26 people are victims of property crimes in the local area. Austin, Texas residents are seeking ways to keep their home and family safe and to deter crime and theft. One of the ways to establish security for a residence is to install automatic entry gates.

The Benefits Of Automatic Driveway Gates

Residential entry gates have three main benefits to a home owner.

1. Increased security – Installing an automatic gate opener provides a layer of security to keep unwanted individuals and vehicles from entering the property. An automatic gate deters crime by restricting access and making it harder for would-be burglars to access the property.

2. Enhance curb appeal – Driveway gates are designed to enhance the look of the property. Most gates are manufactured with ornamental iron or wood. The gates portray a look of security that enhances and brings together the overall look of the house.

3. Raise property values – By installing a driveway gate, the overall value of the home rises based on the enhanced look and security it provides. With property values raised, the resale price of the home also increases.

Buyer's Guide To Choosing An Automatic Driveway Gate

Residents who are looking for driveway gate installation in Austin, Texas have three of the best materials available to choose from. The design is custom made to the home owner's specifications. A home owner can be creative in their gate design.

Materials

The three main materials Capitol Fence in Austin, Texas uses is wood, bamboo and iron.

Wood – Red cedar wood is one of the most attractive and long lasting materials available for driveway entry gates. Custom built for any residential driveway, the construction is built to last while providing security and style for a home.

Ornamental Iron – Impressive and stately are two descriptions many of our clients use to express what they enjoy about ornamental iron driveway gates. The decorative style can vary according to the homeowners' preference.

Bamboo – To further enhance the look of a property, bamboo provides a distinctive, unique look that still provides security for a residence. The look is designed and created custom for each home.

Types of Gate Entries

Since a driveway gate prevents unauthorized vehicles from entering the property, they have a control that is accessed automatically or manually. Capitol Fence has entry access controllers that use solar power to operate.

Sliding Gates – Sliding gates slide to the left or right upon entry. The controller can be solar powered to operate the opening or closing of the gate. Manual and automatic gate entry is available.

Swing Gates – Swing gates are used with one or two gates to swing open to allow passage through them. These also can use solar powered entry gate controllers with manual and automatic gate entry.

Cantilever Gates – Cantilever gates raise up towards the sky to open instead of swinging or sliding. The way to describe this opening feature is similar to a drawbridge that raises.

Is Austin residential and commercial property safe from crime? Local fencing expert say that with fence installation, this deterrent can reduce property crimes.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/01/2017 -- Many Austin, Texas residents never see it coming, but 1 out of 26 people are victims of property crime and 1 in 264 are victims of a violent crime. The majority of crimes in Austin are reported as being theft, with burglary being one of the highest crimes in the city. Since many aren't prepared, they discover how to deter crimes from taking place after they've experienced the crime.

"We have calls from homeowners and commercial businesses who are concerned about safety," said Capitol Fence owner, Mike Morrow. "We install gates and fencing to provide security. In the fence industry, fence installation is known to deter property crimes."

According to Neighborhood Scout, Austin has one of the highest crime rates in America. About 90% of other cities in Texas have a lower crime rating than the property and violent crimes listed in Austin. With crime rates being so high, and rising, property owners are looking for prevention strategies.

One of the deterrents to property crimes is established by Capitol Fence with electronic gate or fence installation in Austin, Texas.

"Driveway gates establish a sense of security because they are difficult to enter for would-be burglars or vandals," said Morrow. "The wood, bamboo, or wrought iron design presents a challenge for them. In addition to having wrought iron or wood fencing around the home, fencing acts as a secure border to deter crime."

Some wrought iron and wooden fence installation in Austin can be between 6-8 feet in height and more, depending on the customization needed for the property. With wrought iron and wooden fence installation, a residential home or commercial business has an added layer of privacy, making it difficult for a burglar to scout a place for entry.

Most burglars are scouting for the easiest targets, according to the Urbach Letter. By making a home difficult to enter with a fence and electronic gate, robbers can be deterred even from day-time break-ins. They can't get close enough to see if anyone is inside the house or not.

In a recent PBS article, city officials are installing fencing around vacant lots. The result is a reduction in crime. Cities like Youngstown, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit are fixing up the vacant lots and, according to University of Pennsylvania's Urban Health Lab, have reduced gun violence by 5%.

According to Morrow, "Fence installation for commercial and residential properties in Austin, Texas adds a layer of safety for both sides in keeping people out and loved ones like children and pets in. Fencing helps to keep them from wandering into the street on accident. The installation is worth the investment and costs of a break-in and vandalism."

Selecting electric gates in Austin, Texas for residential and commercial properties is important to establish security and the proper way of entering and exiting the premises.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/05/2017 -- Electric gates in Austin, Texas can be used for residential and commercial properties. They come in a variety of styles that include slide, cantilever, swing, vertical lift, vertical pivot lift, bi-folding, and barrier arm gates. Each of these types open a different way, allowing traffic to flow through the entrance. Automatic gates are used to control what vehicles are allowed into an area that has been secured.

Companies that use automatic gates secure their premises and parking to control the flow of traffic inside their location. Some corporations use automatic gates to allow employees to enter a specific parking area, while visitors park in a different location.

Residences use automatic gates in Austin, Texas to secure their property entrance in and out of the premises. Homeowners may want to use gates to keep kids and pets from straying outside of the property lines. They also use the entry gates to keep strangers from entering the property.

Tips to Select Automatic Gates

1. The traditional entry gate style is a horizontal rolling gate. These automatic slide gates are the most typical to use for commercial businesses and residences. The gate moves parallel to the fencing, horizontally. It is usually supported by rollers under the gate and slides along a track of metal.

2. Ornamental iron is one of the traditional gate styles that states class and security. Wrought iron is created from pre-galvanized steel. This gate style is powder coated to provide a rust-free, maintenance-free quality product. The finish lasts longer in outside elements.

3. Wood used as material for entry gates are a beautiful statement for commercial or residential properties. We use cedar plank for many automatic gate styles. We've also used bamboo to set property styles apart, while providing security and style.

4. Electronic entry. Having controlled access to the entry gates allows them to open and close through push-button clickers, or other remote access. A tele-entry gate controls access through mobile or land-line phones. Gates can also use solar power to operate.

Electric gates can also come with different accessories that include card and tag readers, digital keypads, intercom systems, video surveillance systems, automatic exit devices, and emergency access devices. Each of these items are used for commercial businesses that need more secure access to their premises. This makes it harder to open and close the gate.

5. The fencing material can be wood, ornamental wrought iron, bamboo, or made from other materials.

Choosing the right automatic gates involves a blend of modern technology and security. They make it easy and secure for entry and exit of the location.

Residential and commercial properties benefit from installing a wooden fence in Austin, Texas.

Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/01/2016 -- Residential and commercial properties benefit from the installation of a wooden privacy fence. Fencing installation in Austin for wooden fences is available to provide an appealing security feature. When professionally installed, fences are durable, lasting for years.

There are many benefits to installing a wooden fence that include:

1. Secures the property. The property is secured through having a wooden fence to keep passersby from viewing the coming and going of people at the location. Whether a residence where children may play outside to a business that has expensive equipment on the property, a fence can keep people from watching the activity.

Wooden fencing also keeps children and pets inside the perimeter of the property. If the residence is near a busy street, the fence is a barrier that keeps pets and children from wandering into car or foot traffic.

2. Increases the value of the property.

Having a fence installed on residential or commercial property increases the value because of its visual appeal. Using a red cedar fencing style adds beauty to the property. The classic look of a wooden fence is available as a design option, but fencing has changed in recent years. The design of fences has grown through the use of special tools used to create a customized look. Some designs have latticework at the top. Others enjoy the standard privacy fence for Austin residences or commercial property or horizontal plank fencing.

3. Lasts for years.

The durability of wood fencing in Austin has increased over recent years. Durable fences last for ten years or more with the addition of galvanized steel. The fence portrays the standard wood facing while the posts use galvanized steel. The use of steel helps to keep the fencing durable.

4. Affordable pricing for design and installation.

Adding fencing to a residential or commercial property is more affordable with a variety of fencing designs. The standard privacy fence design provides the benefits needed and payment through major credit cards is an option.

5. Professional installers take care of the installation.

Many who decide to attempt fence installation themselves eventually see that the job is more demanding and time consuming than originally thought. The thought behind this is that a DIYer may install a fence once in their lifetime. Austin wooden fence installers install multiple fences in one month. Installing a fence also takes time to survey the property and make decisions based on the landscape. The team installing the fence ensures professionalism, courteousness, and takes pride in their work to provide a quality, durable fence installation.

Residential and commercial properties benefit from a standard or custom wooden fence installation. With the main goal to protect the property and people onsite, having a fence installed correctly is important.

Capitol Fence, an Austin, Texas electric gate installer, shares the top tips on protecting a residence or commercial business.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2016 -- Capitol Fence, an automatic gate company in Austin, Texas, shares the top tips to safeguard a home or business with driveway electric gates. An entry gate restricts access to the location. Gates are made from pre-galvanized steel and have a powder coat applied. They are custom built and available in a variety of designs to suit the property and personal style choice.

Driveway security gates provide multiple benefits for homeowners and commercial businesses. Here are a list of tips to secure a business or home with entry gates.

1. Increase Protection from Unwanted Intruders

Even the presence of Austin electric gates presents a prominence that deters unwanted people from the premises. Since thefts are born out of opportunity, criminals will target houses that do not have a security gate more often than those that have one. Most often, a burglar is not able to penetrate through the electric gate. An electric gate also keeps intruders from turning around in driveways and trespassing on land. Automatic gates ensure safety and security for homeowners and staff at commercial businesses.

Commercial property business owners have an additional protective measure when installing automatic gates. Since these prevent intruders from entering the property, expensive equipment, machinery, tools, and materials are protected.

"Have an entry gate installed at each access into the residence or business to ensure the best protection," said Mike Morrow, owner of Capitol Fence in Austin.

2. Value of the Home or Office Increases from its Curb Appeal

For residential homes, the value of the home rises when the security and curb appeal is heightened due to an electric gate. If the residence is in Austin, entry gate installers can construct a gate to match and compliment the residence, commercial business, and construction. When the value of the home is increased, the re-sale value of the home is also increased.

3. Convenient Ability to Limit Access to Residence and Commercial Building

Austin entry gates provide access to a residence or business location. The automatic gate is controlled through a remote opener, keypad, or other type of electronic device. The convenience of the electric gate allows people to enter in the most inconvenient times, like when it is raining. With control systems that make it convenient to open and close entry gates, home or business owners can enter and exit the property easily.

4. Breaks on Insurance

Depending on the home owner's and/or business owner's insurance company, the insurance company may allow a lower cost on premiums. The reason is because the insurance company sees the property as being more secure. If the property is more secure, this lowers the possibility of theft.

5. Safety for Pets and Children

Entry gates for driveways keep kids and pets from exiting the property. The gates operate as a barrier between the street and the residence. This keeps kids and pets from wandering off, as well as keeping anyone else from entering the premises.

Since protection of family and pets is paramount to many residence owners, the safety and security of an electric gate protects family and pets.
