What if there is a power cut? - All electric gate kits supplied by Proforme have a manual release key to allow you to release your gates in the event of a power failure. Also, on all 24v kits, battery back up systems are available to allow the use of your electric gates during a power failure.
I have heard of children getting crushed between electric gates, should i be concerned? - When choosing a gate automation kit for use around small children look for kit with torque limits (such as BFT) and ask your installer to set the limits as low as is possible to allow usage in normal conditions. This will allow the gates to stop should anything or anyone be caught outside the range of the safety beams.
Will i be able to fit a kit myself? - All automation kits and accessories supplied by Proforme come with full easy to read comprehensive instructions and full technical support. There is a team of technical support guys for each manufacturer that will if needed talk you through your installation step by step.
