Frequently Asked Questions about FAAC Systems
Why do you recommend FAAC autogate systems?
FAAC is a world-renowned Italian brand known for its exceptional engineering, durability, and performance. We recommend FAAC for projects where reliability and long-term value are the top priorities, especially for heavy gates or high-traffic areas.
Which FAAC model is right for my property?
The best model depends on the type (sliding or swing), size, and weight of your gate, as well as your usage patterns. Contact us for a free on-site consultation, and our experts will assess your property and recommend the perfect FAAC solution.
What does "soft start and stop" mean for a FAAC gate?
"Soft start and stop" means the gate motor doesn't just jolt into action at full speed. It gently accelerates to its normal speed and then smoothly decelerates before closing. This has three major benefits: it makes the gate operation much quieter, it significantly reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and the gate itself (extending its lifespan), and it provides a more elegant, high-end look and feel.
What is the "pedestrian opening" feature?
This is a convenience feature that allows you to open the gate only partially—just wide enough for a person to walk through. It's perfect for when you're leaving on foot, as it's faster and reduces wear and tear on the motor compared to a full opening cycle. It's typically activated by a separate button on your remote control.
What happens if there is a power failure?
All FAAC systems include a secure manual release mechanism. In the event of a power outage, you can use a key to disengage the motor and operate the gate manually until power is restored.
How often should I service my FAAC autogate system?
To ensure peak performance and extend the life of your motor, we recommend a professional inspection and servicing every 6–12 months. Regular maintenance helps prevent issues and keeps your gate running smoothly.
Can you repair my existing FAAC motor?
Yes. Our technicians are experienced in troubleshooting and repairing a wide range of FAAC models, including older ones like the 740 and 741. We can diagnose issues and source genuine parts to extend the life of your system.
Can I integrate my FAAC system with an intercom?
Absolutely. We can seamlessly integrate your FAAC autogate with an intercom system, allowing you to open the gate for visitors directly from an app on your smartphone, no matter where you are.
How long does it take to install a FAAC system?
A standard installation is typically completed within 1–2 days. The exact timeline depends on site conditions and wiring requirements, and we will provide a clear schedule during our consultation.
How much does a FAAC autogate installation cost?
The cost depends on the specific FAAC motor chosen, the size and weight of your gate, and the complexity of the installation. We provide detailed, customised quotations after a free on-site assessment.
Do you install the metal gate as well?
While we specialize in the automation system, we partner with professional metal gate fabricators. This allows us to provide a seamless, all-in-one service for both a high-quality custom gate and a reliable FAAC motor installation.
