Common questions about electric gate automation
Answers to common questions about electric gates, automation systems, access control, servicing and repairs.
How much does electric gate automation cost?
The cost depends on the type of gates, access width, groundworks required and the automation system chosen. A typical residential automation install can range from £2,000 to £6,000+. We provide clear quotes after assessing your site and requirements.
Can you automate my existing gates?
Yes. Many existing swing or sliding gates can be automated if they are structurally sound and suitable for automation. We assess hinge alignment, gate weight, opening space and safety requirements before recommending the correct system.
What types of gates can you automate?
We install and automate swing gates, sliding gates, cantilever gates, aluminium gates and timber gates. Each system is designed around the property layout and usage requirements.
What access control options are available?
We install a range of access control systems including key fobs, keypads, GSM intercoms, video intercom systems, smartphone control and vehicle loop sensors.
Do you install safety devices on gates?
All automated gate systems include safety features such as photocells, safety edges and force limitation settings to ensure the gates operate safely and comply with current standards.
Do you provide gate servicing and maintenance?
Yes. Regular servicing keeps automation systems reliable and safe. We offer routine maintenance, safety checks and adjustments to ensure your gates continue to operate smoothly.
