Automatic gate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gate that is remotely controlled by a hand held transmitter, button inside the house, or digital keypad to open by itself using an electric motor or hydraulic system. The gates can be sliding (on a rail) or swinging type. They are usually installed for security reasons at the front entry or driveway of homes and apartment buildings. The benefits are obvious in a rain storm, one simple press of a button and Presto! The gate magically opens, and you stay dry.
