• Make sure that the gate motors and sensor beams to be installed are new and not second-hand or recycled items, as these may be stolen goods.
• Signs that good are second-hand: They may seem weathered, have obvious scratch marks on them or have fresh paint in parts.
• Gate motors must have a serial number.
• Owners can mark their gate motors and beams by means of engraving or data dot technology, and then take photographs of them for future identification purposes.
