When Two Gates Don’t Play Nice
Picture pulling into your driveway and not knowing which gate will open — or worse, having two cars trying to use separate gates that can’t operate at the same time.
That was the situation one Las Vegas homeowner was dealing with when they called me. On the surface, it was a gorgeous property with a wrought iron and stone entrance, complete with two gates: one for entry, one for exit. But behind the beauty was daily frustration, safety concerns, and a system that just didn’t work the way it should.
I knew right away this was going to take more than a standard solution.
Finding the Right Fit
The homeowner’s goals were simple: reliability, safety, and a design that wouldn’t ruin the look of their entrance. Standard openers could move the gates, sure, but none of them solved the real problem: how to coordinate two big gates in a way that felt easy and intuitive.
After looking at several options, I recommended the Nice Juno Slide Gate Operator. It was compact, powerful, and smart. More importantly, it offered small details I knew would make a big difference in everyday life.
Building the Solution
Once we had the plan, our lead installer Zachary Thompson made it happen. Together, we put in a system that included:
- Nice Juno Slide Gate Operator – Quiet, compact, and reliable.
- Security Brands Wireless Keypad – Secure access without the hassle.
- AES Global E-Loop – Automatic exit detection so vehicles could leave smoothly.
One feature I really liked was the Juno’s built-in indicator light. With two gates in play, the homeowner could see at a glance which one was working. That little detail ended up making a big impact.
After the install, the difference was obvious. The homeowner now has a system that works smoothly every time:
- Clear visual cues for gate status.
- Easy entry and exit without delays.
- A setup that blends into the property without standing out.
For the homeowner, it meant peace of mind. For me, it meant knowing we solved more than a technical problem — we made their daily routine easier.
The Takeaway
Not every fence or gate project is straightforward. When you’ve got unique layouts, heavy gates, or custom properties, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t cut it.
The right solution comes from listening to the homeowner, understanding their priorities, and matching the right technology to the situation. That’s what we focus on at A1 Fence — solving problems in a way that feels effortless once the job is done.
A Final Note
This project was a highlight for me, and it was exciting to see it recognized by Fence News USA, a national industry publication, as an example of innovative gate automation.
The recognition was nice, but what really mattered was seeing the homeowner finally able to pull into their driveway without the stress and confusion those gates had been causing.
If you’ve got a fence or gate project that needs more than a standard setup, give me a call at (702) 904-5998. I’d be glad to help you find the right solution for your home.
