Two types of gate

Sliding gates and swing gates

We install and service both. Here is how they differ, so you can describe what you have or what you want.

Sliding gates

Single gates with rollers at the bottom that run along a track. Sliding gates are popular where space is crucial, because they do not take up the entrance space the way a conventional swing gate does.

Swing gates

Single or two-leaf gates that open with a rotation around a pivot point. They hang off gate hinges, so good hinges matter. Most swing inward, though some are designed to swing outward.

Keep your gate in shape

We highly recommend servicing your gate every 12 months to keep it operating the way it should and prevent avoidable wear and tear. A quick check: put the gate on manual and open and close it by hand. It should move fairly easily. If it does not, book a service.

Can you help an existing gate as well as install a new one?

Yes. We install new automatic gate motors, and we repair and maintain existing sliding and swing gates.

What is the difference between a sliding gate and a swing gate?

A sliding gate rolls along a track beside the opening, so it suits tight entrances. A swing gate has one or two leaves that open around a pivot, usually inward. The gate, the pillars and the space available guide which operator suits best.

How heavy or wide a gate can you automate?

Our range includes gear motors for sliding gates weighing up to 500 kg, articulated operators for swing gates of about 2 m per leaf, and linear operators for swing gates from 1.8 m to 4 m per leaf. We check the actual gate on site before recommending an operator.
