Security and privacy- A set of metal or wooden electric gates can deter opportunist burglars or intruders and with high fences or walls, will complete the secure perimeter around your home. Combined with a surveillance camera, they offer you complete control over who gains access to your property. They also greatly reduce the possibility of car theft from your driveway.
Safety- Small children and dogs will not be able to wander away.
Property appeal - Stylishly designed, electric gates can enhance the appearance of any property and impress the neighbours. When it comes to selling your house, electric gates will make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
Convenience- A great number of properties have driveway gates that are seldom used due to the hassle of getting in and out of the car, to open and close them. With a press of a button, remote controlled electric gates can be opened and will automatically be closed at all other times.
Lower insurance premiums- Many house insurance companies will offer a discount for properties with electric gates and surveillance systems.
Driveway misuse- Stop people from using your driveway as a turning or reversing point.
Space Requirements- If your drive already has manual gates then it should be possible to install electric driveway gates in their place. It may be possible to use the existing gates and incorporate electric gate openers to them.
Remote Access- A radio signal is sent from a remote key fob or a transmitter in your vehicle to a control box, mounted near the gate. The control box activates the gate opener arm. The arm swings or slides the gate open. The gate opener system needs either mains AC power or solar power to keep the battery charged. The gate can be set to close on a press of the remote or automatically after a certain amount of time.
Keypad Access- Keypads allow visitors without remote controls to enter. Visitors who know the numeric code will have access.
Automation- The most popular kind of electric gate automation is an underground motor. They can be fitted to new or existing gates and once installed; there is no apparent sign of the mechanism other than the lid of the casing box.
Articulated arm mechanisms are mounted on the gate posts and use an extended arm to open or close the gates.
Swing Gates- The majority of electric gates are designed to swing open like a door. This kind of gate will suit most homes as long as there is enough room on the driveway to accommodate them. It is possible to have a single swinging gate or a pair of gates that open together. Electric swing gates cannot be installed where the driveway is on a steep incline, as this would prevent the gates opening. As with all our installations, we would advise you on the best mechanism for your property.
Sliding Gates- Sliding gates do not need the space that swing gates require to open, leaving the full length of the driveway for parking. Sliding gates can be installed where the driveway is on a steep incline that would prevent swing gates opening inwards.
Safety- Sensors can detect the presence of a vehicle or person and prevent the electric gate closing. The gate will also reverse if there is an obstacle in its path.

Closed board wooden gates at the entrance of your property offer more privacy than traditional metal gates. A little more maintenance is required to keep them in a peak condition, but the nature of the material and their natural finish results in each gate being unique.
Automated wooden driveway gates are commonly crafted from hardwoods such as oak or redwood, although they can be made from softwoods, if the budget requires.
We can help you find the perfect gate for your property by recommending manufacturers and designs, or you can leave it all to us.
