Most automatic gate systems are designed with backup options for power outages. Many include a manual release mechanism that allows the gate to be opened by hand if there’s no electricity. Some systems also offer battery backup, which provides power for several open/close cycles during a blackout. Solar-powered gate motors can also be a great solution for continued operation without relying on the electrical grid. It's important to ask about backup options when installing an automatic gate to ensure consistent access in all conditions.

A pedestrian gate is a smaller gate designed specifically for foot traffic. It allows people to enter and exit a property without opening a larger driveway or vehicle gate. Pedestrian gates can be part of a broader fence or gate system and are often equipped with locks, latches, or even access control systems for security. They’re useful for homes, apartment complexes, schools, and commercial properties where pedestrian access needs to be controlled separately from vehicle access. Having a designated pedestrian gate also helps reduce wear on larger gates and improves overall safety.

Yes, in many cases an existing manual gate can be retrofitted with an automatic opening system. The feasibility depends on the condition of the gate, its weight, material, and the way it operates (swing or slide). A gate in good structural condition can usually be fitted with a motor and access controls, but additional work may be required to ensure proper alignment or to install power supply. Retrofitting may be more affordable than installing a new automatic gate, but it’s best to have a professional assess the gate before proceeding.
