Sliding or swinging gate: what's the difference
The choice between sliding and swinging depends mainly on the configuration of the entrance and the possible slope of the terrain.
Sliding gate
The sliding gate opens by moving laterally along the fence. It does not require space in front or behind to open, making it ideal for short entrances or sloped terrain. The motorization is simple and reliable. It is the most common model for new installations in individual homes in Braine-l'Alleud.
Swinging gate
The swinging gate is hinged on two or four leaves that open inward or outward from the property. It requires sufficient space for the leaves. Its appearance is often more traditional, consistent with the classic or cottage-style houses found in the older neighborhoods of Braine-l'Alleud. The motorization on a swinging gate can use articulated arms or cylinders.
Materials for your gate in Braine-l'Alleud
The choice of material influences the durability, maintenance, and aesthetics of the gate. Here are the options we offer.
Motorization and security of gates in Braine-l'Alleud
The motorization of a gate in Braine-l'Alleud often goes hand in hand with increased security requirements. Here are the devices that we systematically integrate.
The photocell is an infrared beam placed at the bottom of the gate that detects any obstacle during the closing movement. In case of interruption of the beam, the gate stops immediately and reverses to avoid any crushing. This is mandatory safety equipment for any motorized gate and an essential protection for families with children or pets.
In addition to the photocell, a sensitive edge on the leading edge of the sliding gate detects contact with an obstacle by pressure. It is particularly recommended for gates with a high closing speed or where the height reduces the photocell's visibility angle.
A presence detector coupled with LED lighting at the gate automatically turns on when a vehicle or pedestrian approaches. It improves nighttime visibility and deters attempted intrusions. The video intercom allows identification of the visitor from inside the house or from a smartphone before activating the opening. These systems can be integrated into home automation and connected to the home management app.

The maintenance of a gate in Braine-l'Alleud
A gate is exposed to the elements year-round and its mechanism is used several times a day. Here are the maintenance points to follow.
Annual mechanical maintenance
The friction points of the drive mechanism must be lubricated once a year with a lubricant suitable for aluminum parts and racks. The guide rails of the sliding gate must be kept clean and free of gravel and leaves to avoid blockages.
Checking the motorization
The limit switches must be checked each season to ensure that the gate opens and closes completely. Misalignment of the limit switches can cause jolts or blockage of the gate in an intermediate position. The backup battery of the motorization (which allows opening in case of a power outage) should be replaced every two to three years.
Surface protection
Powder-coated aluminum is durable but can be scratched by a door or tool impact. Damaged areas must be treated promptly with a touch-up lacquer of the same RAL shade to prevent corrosion of the aluminum under the coating. Galvanized steel requires an annual inspection to detect areas where galvanization is damaged.
Avenir Rénovations also ensures the maintenance of existing gates in Braine-l'Alleud: replacement of faulty motorization, adjustment of limit switches, replacement of worn arms or cylinders. A faulty motorization can often be repaired or replaced without changing the entire gate, provided the mechanical structure is still in good condition.
