Swing gate motorization offers comfort and security. Depending on your needs, you can choose between different motors: arm motors, ram motors, or invisible motors. Arm motors are ideal for light gates, while ram motors are suitable for heavier models. Invisible motors preserve the aesthetics of your entrance and garden.
Invisible motorization is compatible with most Kostum swing gates. It adapts to large and small entrances, sloped terrain and offers opening up to 180° when the gate is mounted on the surface, that is behind existing pillars.
This gate motorization has many advantages. First, improved aesthetics because the motor is hidden in the swing gate uprights. This type of motorization allows hiding the motor but also protecting it from weather. Perfectly sheltered from the elements, it therefore offers optimal reliability and durability. This hidden motorization is also quieter than conventional motorizations.

The articulated arm motor is the most common solution for motorizing a swing gate. It consists of two arms and two motors. Each is attached to a leaf to open and close each part of the swing gate.
This gate motorization is appreciated for its ease of installation, its discreet aesthetics and because it opens and closes the gate smoothly and without jerks.

The cylinder motor is particularly suitable for large gates. With considerable force, cylinder motors generate power capable of opening and closing heavy swing gates.
Cylinder gate motorization differs from arm motorization in that it requires less clearance space when opening the swing gate. The articulated arm of the arm motor needs more lateral space than the cylinder motor.

With a wide range of possibilities, you can customize your motorized swing gate according to your preferences. From choosing the gate design to the control method, every detail can be adapted to your lifestyle. When it comes to power supply, you also have the choice: opt for a traditional electrical connection or an ecological solution with solar panels. Whatever your option, you will benefit from a reliable and efficient motorization system.
There are many ways to control a gate. Opening and closing can be controlled from a remote control, keypad, smartphone or even a connected watch.
To enjoy maximum comfort, you can experience the connected home with Somfy's Tahoma Switch. From the Tahoma Switch app or voice command, you can program scenarios and control the closing of your motorized gate remotely. You can connect other home equipment to this box to centralize controls: heating, lighting, shutters...
If the environment does not allow you to run a power cable between the electrical meter and the gate, a solar kit allows you to power the motor via a set of batteries.
A solar installation is subject to weather conditions and a decrease in sunshine level over a long period will harm the proper functioning of your gate.
Beacons are lighting devices that increase your safety. Visual signaling warns drivers and pedestrians of gate opening and closing and indicates car movements between your garden and the outside.
Kostum has two types of beacon: a classic flashing version and a more design version. The second is a luminous tip that replaces the classic beacon and is compatible only with the Multo gate post, Somfy and FAAC motors.
