New Installation: Locinox Venus Motorized Gate Closer at Retirement Community Pool

At Gate Tech, we’re proud to announce one of our latest successful projects: the installation of the Locinox Venus motorized gate closer at a large retirement community pool. This state-of-the-art solution ensures seamless functionality, enhanced safety, and convenience for residents and staff alike.

Why the Locinox Venus?

When selecting a gate closer for a high-traffic, safety-sensitive area like a community pool, reliability and performance are paramount. The Locinox Venus motorized gate closer stood out for its:

  • Controlled Closure: The Venus ensures smooth and precise gate closure, reducing noise and preventing slamming, a feature especially valued in serene retirement communities.
  • Durability: Built to withstand weather conditions and daily wear, the Venus is ideal for outdoor installations.
  • Adjustable Speed and Force: Customizable settings allow the gate closer to meet specific operational needs, catering to both ease of use and safety.
  • ADA Compliance: Ensures accessibility for residents with mobility challenges..

Meeting the Needs of a Retirement Community

Retirement communities require thoughtful design and reliable solutions to ensure the comfort and safety of their residents. The pool gate posed a unique challenge—it needed to balance secure access with ease of operation for individuals of varying physical abilities. The Health department had required the use of panic hardware to allow for better egress for this large capacity area that can see hundreds of residents visiting in a single day which required a more solid design that became an issue when the wind would catch the gate when closing. The Lockinox Venus motorized gate closer provided the perfect answer, offering:

  1. Automatic Self-Closing Functionality: This eliminates the risk of the gate being accidentally left open, a critical safety measure for a pool area. This functionality was enhanced with the addition of a backup battery in case of power failure.
  2. Gentle Operation: The smooth-closing mechanism minimizes disruption and ensures a quiet environment.
  3. Safe operation: This motorized gate closer is a UL and EN compliant ETL listed closer designed for use specifically with pedestrian gates. Its low energy design permits installation without other accessories or devices that can complicate installation and maintenance.
  4. Enhanced Security: Paired with a high-quality lock, the gate ensures controlled access, protecting residents and preventing unauthorized entry.

The Installation Process

Our team at GateTech Inc. worked closely with the retirement community’s management to ensure the installation process was efficient and minimally disruptive. Key steps included:

  1. Site Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the pool gate’s structure and usage patterns to determine the best configuration for the Locinox Venus.
  2. Customization: Adjusting the closer’s speed and closing force to suit the residents’ needs and comply with local safety regulations.
  3. Professional Installation: Ensuring precise alignment and secure mounting for optimal performance.
  4. Testing and Demonstration: Comprehensive testing to ensure flawless operation, followed by demonstration of its function and responsiveness.

Feedback from the Community

The response from residents and staff has been overwhelmingly positive. Residents appreciate the smoother, quieter gate operation, while management values the reliability and added security and compliance features.
