When searching for a new home, comfort and security are top priorities for many. A recent TikTok video, posted by @rainbowgatespecialist, has brought an innovative solution into the spotlight, combining security with cutting-edge design.
This video, showcasing a unique vertical gate, has garnered a staggering 1.4 million views, sparking widespread interest and discussion among netizens.Located in the Parklane OUG housing area, the video reveals an automatic gate that defies conventional design.
Fan wing gate: What’s the buzz about?
Unlike traditional gates, this one opens vertically, akin to an elevator, separating into two halves. Its futuristic appeal is enhanced by its dark brown colour, seamlessly blending modern aesthetics with functionality.
Shafia from Rainbow Gate Specialist, in an interview with WeirdKaya, introduced this innovation as the Fan Wing Gate.
Why this gate rocks
Crafted from a 4mm-thick aluminium composite, this gate stands out not just in design but also in its practical benefits.
It saves space, increases safety, and offers more strength than standard automatic gates.
The Fan Wing Gate’s vertical opening mechanism ensures it doesn’t obstruct the road or get hit by external objects, a common issue with regular gates that swing outward. This design is inspired by modern architecture, focusing on providing better, safer gates for users.
Moreover, this gate is fully automatic, with a fixed opening and closing time of 17 seconds. Despite concerns raised by netizens in the video’s comments about the gate’s speed, Shafia emphasises the balance between safety and functionality.
Rainbow Gate Specialist isn’t just making waves in Malaysia; they’re now receiving international orders, with two confirmed from Canada and India, Shafia shared.
Netizens weigh in: Slow and steady?
The viral video has not only showcased the gate’s innovative design but also opened the floor to lively discussions among viewers.
Some expressed concerns about the gate’s speed, particularly in emergency situations. One comment asked, “How to close it faster if someone chases after you?” reflecting practical safety considerations.
Other comments highlighted a different angle, with one user humorously noting, “10 people can enter there before the gate closes,” pointing out the possible security challenges posed by the 17-second open-close cycle.
Another comment addressed those joking about being late due to the gate’s operation: “Those who commented that they would be late to work…as if they go to work early.“
Wrapping it all up, the Fan Wing Gate is more than just a viral sensation; it’s a quirky twist on home security that’s got everyone talking. It might not win any races with its 17-second showtime, but it sure wins hearts with its unique charm.
