How long does it take to complete a project from start to finish?
The time required to complete a project, including driveway gates in Vancouver, depends on its size and complexity. On average our projects take between 4 and 10 weeks once we get approval to start.
What is your service area and how do I contact you after hours?
We service all of BC and can be reached at 604.575.3174.
Do you service or maintain equipment installed by other companies?
Yes we do. Avant Guard Gates services and maintains automated gate systems installed by anyone. We will inspect the gate system and provide a list of recommended changes if we think it is necessary. No matter what the issues are with your gate system, you can depend on Avant Guard Gates to resolve them.
How do I open my gate during a power failure?
Most gates have a release key that allows you to open the gate manually. You should store this key in a safe place.
What is the warranty on gate openers?
Most gate openers have a 1-year warranty for parts and labour.
Can I have my gate custom designed?
Yes, we have our own designers and fabricators on staff. They work directly with you to come up with a one-of-a-kind design, using AutoCAD.
What sets Avant Guard apart from the competition and why should I select them for my project?
Quality, integrity, attention to detail, and experience. These are a few of the reasons why you should work with Avant Guard. We pride ourselves on consistently achieving the highest level of finish quality on the work we do, and offer a “turnkey” price that does not leave the customer with surprises at the end of the job.
Are your technicians cleared for security locations and are they bonded?
Yes, they are. We have worked on projects in all types of high security, commercial and residential locations.
How does an electric gate opener work?
There isn’t much difference between an electric gate opener and a garage door opener. When you click the provided hand-held transmitter in your vehicle, a radio signal is sent to a receiver box, which is mounted near the gate. The receiver carries the message to the control box that activates a circuit, which initiates movement in the gate opener arm. The arm will physically swing or slide the gate open. The gate can be set to then close by pressing the transmitter button again or to close automatically after an specified amount of time.
