1.Was wondering if I can only have a gate no option for standalone sidedoor, is there such a gate where I can manually open the gate for people to get in out instead of opening the full gate, without risk of tripping or hitting our heads? I find most of these doors troublesome to get in/out.

2.Also normally how many types of programming are given to these doors, if the gate is 2 piece, can i choose the door to open inwards or outwards, or 1 in 1 out, or partial open?

3.What are the best brands of autogate? Do the Gate & Motor/Logic come together from same maker?

4.How do they do the wiring in order to get power? Any specific things I need to look out for? I don't want short circuit or electric hazards.

5.If I put a lock on the gate, will the gate keep forcing itself to open, thus damaging the motor/gate/lock?

6.If someone accidentally stepped in the way of the gate is there some kind of safety to prevent the person from getting clamped? It's a good safety feature but sometimes you just want to prevent people from getting in...
