4 Points to consider when installing an automatic car park door

05/04/2023
When considering the installation of a car park door, it is common to focus solely on the design or price. However, this lack of attention to other important factors can lead to future problems, causing loss of time and money. In this post, we will highlight four key points that you should take into account to make the best decision about the door and its automation.
  •  Before choosing a parking gate, it is important to consider the space available to you: will the gate close off a space, such as a covered car park, or will it delimit an open space, such as access to a property? In the first case, we will need to know the height, width and depth measurements. In the second case, we will need to know the dimensions of the passage space, the available angle, the lateral space, if there is a slope, if the ground is tarmac or dirt.
          With this information we can choose the most suitable type of door. For example, if we need a door to close off a shallow space, an counterbalanced door would be a good choice, especially in                  communities or community car parks. https://www.hydom.com/minimax-d?oscsid=b85a7rpc4j529lehltt11but62
          If the door is to enclose a space, on a floor with an unevenness, and the angle allows it, the right solution would be a swing door.https://www.hydom.com/3lc?oscsid=b85a7rpc4j529lehltt11but62
 
  • Another aspect to consider is the number of parking spaces. This will give you an idea of the number of manoeuvres the door will have to perform in a day, which will affect the required robustness of the operator.
          It is important to ensure that the unit is sufficiently resistant to daily traffic without problems. In this way, possible failures or breakdowns in the future can be avoided. This could cause                            unnecessary inconvenience and expense.
          In short, by considering the parking spaces when choosing a parking gate, we can ensure that the operator is suitable for daily use and functions optimally in the long term.
 
  • Another important factor to consider when choosing a parking gate is the climatic conditions of the area.  This will not only affect the design of the gate, but also the gate automation.  In areas with strong wind gusts, for example 80km/h, it will be important to consider additional security measures that would not be necessary in areas with more moderate winds. This may influence the design of the door.
          In areas with extreme temperatures, we must ensure that the door operator works normally.
           In summary, by considering the climatic condition when choosing a parking gate, we can ensure that the gate meets the safety requirements and works optimally in any climatic situation.
 
  • Noise sensitivity will be a determining factor when choosing a parking door, especially in buildings or communities where it is required that the door is as quiet as possible.  It is important to take into account the material of the door, as this can save us from annoying noises caused by movement when opening and closing.
           In addition, the location of the operator is also important. In the case of a swing door, it is advisable to install the arm with the pump separately. This will allow us to locate the pump in an isolated             area, further reducing any possible noise.
            Considering noise sensitivity will allow us to choose the quietest possible installation without disturbing neighbours or users.

In conclusion, by taking into account the four key points we have highlighted, we will be able to ask our suppliers for a parking door and operator that best suits our needs. This will result in a more efficient and satisfactory service, saving us time and money. Furthermore, by making an informed decision, we will be investing in the security and comfort of our home or business in the short and long term. Remember that, although design and price are important, we should not underestimate the importance of considering other key factors when choosing a parking gate and its operator.
