Atascadero Automatic Driveway Gate Openers
These days, a secure driveway gate without a gate opener is becoming a thing of the past. The convenience of a gate that opens and closes without you leaving your vehicle is as necessary as the security the gate provides. Even cowboys out rounding up cattle will admit that an automatic gate opener would make their lives easier.
Coast Fence has been providing gates and fences for residential, commercial, and agricultural needs since 1998. Driveway gates and driveway gate openers for Atascadero and nearby communities are only two of a list of products the company provides.
Driveway gate openers provide numerous conveniences, including:
- The convenience of staying in the vehicle after dark, or when it’s cold and wet. Not getting rained on or slipping in the mud can be health concerns. Even though the driveway gate has lights, it’s still safer to stay in the car until safely inside the gate.
- Features like remote controls, keypads, and security cameras allow you to monitor and restrict entry.
- Efficient and smooth opening and closing allow for quicker access to the property and can be an important time-saving feature.
Key considerations for driveway gate openers in Atascadero
There’s a little more to opening a driveway gate than just installing an automatic opening system. Considerations include:
- Is the gate sliding open or swinging open?
- Is the gate equipped with the proper equipment or does that need to be added? For example, the arms that control a gate that swings open need to be heavy-duty enough to support the weight of the gate.
- How is the gate opener powered? Options include electrical wiring, and solar or battery power.
- How do you want the gate to open? From a keypad, a remote control, or a sensor. Combinations of methods can also be arranged.
- Do you want a manual override to be able to open the gate manually in the event of a power failure?
- How long do you want the gate to stay open before automatically closing?
- Do you want the option to leave the gate open for an expected delivery, or company?
Driveway gate openers are necessary conveniences for both residential and commercial properties, providing a blend of security, ease of access, and modern technology. It’s worth your time to check out the options from Coast Fence to discover what they can do for your driveway gate opener for Atascadero homes and businesses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to install a driveway gate opener?

What type of gate opener would you recommend for a winery?
The choices of gate openers for a winery are the same choices that are available for residential and commercial driveway gates. Wineries have some unique needs that can be easily met. For example, the main access gate may need to be left open for several hours to allow visitors easy access to the tasting room and events. You might want to consider remote and timer controls for opening and closing the gate.
What do you recommend for a business driveway gate that needs to stay open all day?
Manually opening and closing a gate is a nuisance, especially for an active business with hundreds of other things that need to be done during the workday. A sliding gate that is operated remotely is a top consideration, but all of the options can work with the appropriate adjustments. The best way to decide is to give us a call and discuss the options.
