Electric Gate
Installation.
Professional electric gate installation across Hampshire for swing gates, sliding gates, automation, access control and safety systems. We survey the entrance, specify the correct setup and install the system properly from start to finish.
Electric Gates Installed Properly
A good electric gate installation is not just a motor fitted to a gate. The gate, posts, automation, control panel, access system and safety equipment all need to work together as one reliable entrance system.
We install new electric gates and automate suitable existing gates across Hampshire. The right setup depends on the entrance width, ground levels, gate weight, power supply, access requirements and how the driveway is used every day.
If you are comparing prices, our electric gates cost guide explains typical budgets. If you already have suitable gates, our driveway gate automation page explains retrofit automation.

Swing, Sliding and Automated Gate Systems
Swing gates suit many domestic entrances where there is room for the leaves to open safely. Sliding gates are often better for wider entrances, shorter driveways or spaces where swing gates would interfere with parking or access.
Existing gates can sometimes be automated, but only if the gate, hinges, posts and movement are suitable. If the gate drags, twists, drops or sits on weak posts, replacement may be the better long-term option.
Safety Is Built Into the Installation
Electric gates are powered machines, so safety has to be considered as part of the installation. That may include photocells, safety edges, force setup, safe movement areas, access control and proper commissioning.
We follow HSE powered gate safety guidance when specifying and installing automated gate systems. For more detail, read our electric gate safety guide.

Clear answers about electric gate installation, automation, access control, safety and servicing.
What does electric gate installation include?
Electric gate installation can include the gate system, posts, hinges or sliding hardware, motors, control panel, cabling, access control, safety devices, commissioning and handover.
Can existing gates be automated?
Sometimes. Existing gates need to be strong, correctly hung, properly aligned and suitable for powered movement. If they are not suitable, new automation-ready gates may be safer and more reliable.
How much does electric gate installation cost?
Costs depend on the gate type, power supply, automation, access control, safety equipment and groundworks. As a guide, automation for suitable existing gates may cost around £3,500–£8,500+, while complete systems are often higher. See our electric gates cost guide.
What access control can be fitted?
Options include remote controls, keypads, intercoms, GSM access, video entry and smart access systems. The best option depends on how the property is used.
Do electric gates need servicing?
Yes. Servicing helps keep the motors, controls, safety devices and moving parts working correctly. See our gate servicing and repair page.
