Automatic Sliding Gates
A single leaf runs along a track or cantilever beam, so no space is lost in front of the gate. The best choice for sloped drives, short approaches and wide openings.
Access Control
Choose from remote fobs, coded keypads, video intercoms, vehicle loops and app control, with a matching pedestrian gate on the same system.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do automatic gates cost in the UK?
Cost depends on the opening width, the collection you choose and the automation kit. Most automatic aluminium driveway gates fall into a mid-range bracket once the motors, safety photocells and remotes are included. Send us your measurements and we will price the gate and the automation together in one free quote.
Can my existing gates be automated?
In many cases yes. We check the weight, hinges and posts on site. Aluminium gates are light and rigid, which makes them the easiest material to automate reliably over many years.
What happens in a power cut?
Every automation kit we fit includes a manual release key so the gate can be opened by hand. Battery back-up can be added if you want the gate to keep working during an outage.
Are automatic gates safe for children and pets?
Yes. We install safety photocells, force limiting and, where needed, safety edges, so the gate stops and reverses if anything crosses its path.
