Electric Gates
Totton.
Looking for electric gates in Totton? Perimeter Fencing and Gates designs, builds and installs bespoke automated swing gates, sliding gates, access control and gate automation systems for homes across Totton, Calmore, Ashurst, Eling, Marchwood, Hounsdown and the surrounding Southampton and New Forest edge areas.
Electric Gates Built for Totton Driveways and New Forest Edge Entrances
Totton properties often need electric gates that can handle daily use, privacy requirements, tight residential entrances and driveway layouts close to roads, pavements or shared access routes. The right system should improve security and convenience without creating reliability or maintenance problems later.
We design electric gate systems around the entrance, not around standard kits. That means the gate structure, frame, posts, hinges or track, motor type, access control, power route and safety equipment are considered before the final specification is agreed.
This page covers our electric gate installation service in Totton. For our wider service overview, see our Electric Gates Hampshire page. For a guide to typical system prices, see our electric gates cost guide.
Types of Electric Gates We Install in Totton
We design and install electric gates in different materials and opening styles, depending on the entrance, property style, driveway space, road position and access control requirements.
Swing Gates
Electric swing gates suit Totton homes where there is enough driveway depth for the leaves to open safely without blocking parking or vehicle access.
Sliding Gates
Electric sliding gates can suit short driveways, wider entrances, sloped approaches or properties where swing gates would take up too much usable space.
Gate Automation
We specify motors, control panels and safety equipment around the gate size, weight, opening style, approach angle and frequency of use.
Access Control
Keypads, remotes, fobs, GSM intercoms, video entry and app-based access can be included for controlled entry and daily convenience.
Automated Gate Designs for Totton Entrances
The right design depends on the property style, the level of privacy required, the available driveway space and whether a swing or sliding electric gate is the most practical option.

Designed Around Access, Parking and Everyday Use
An electric gate should not be chosen on appearance alone. Entrance width, ground levels, opening direction, parking space, public road position and long-term maintenance all affect the final specification.
The design also needs to account for motor position, access control, cabling, safety devices and how vehicles approach the entrance. This is especially important for Totton properties close to residential roads, shared entrances or busy access routes.
We can advise whether an electric swing gate, electric sliding gate or automation-ready gate system is the most practical option for your Totton property.
Electric Gates Need the Right Safety Setup
Electric gates are powered machines as well as entrance gates. The gate structure, posts, hinges or sliding hardware need to be suitable for powered movement, and the automation system must be specified around safe operation.
A proper installation can include safety edges, photocells, suitable control equipment, force settings, access control and professional commissioning depending on the gate design and site layout.
We follow HSE electric gate safety guidelines to ensure full compliance with UK regulations.
Electric Gates Totton FAQs
Common questions about electric swing gates, sliding gates, automation, access control, safety and installation costs in Totton.
Do you install electric gates in Totton?
Yes. Perimeter Fencing and Gates installs electric gates in Totton and nearby areas including Calmore, Ashurst, Eling, Marchwood, Hounsdown and surrounding Southampton and New Forest edge locations.
What type of electric gate is best for a Totton home?
It depends on the entrance layout, driveway depth, road position and property style. Swing gates suit many homes with enough opening space, while sliding gates can help where parking space is limited or the driveway is close to a road.
Can electric gates work on short Totton driveways?
Often, yes, but the gate style needs to be chosen carefully. Sliding gates can be useful where swing gates would take up too much driveway space or interfere with parking.
Can existing gates be automated?
Sometimes. Existing gates must be strong, correctly aligned and suitable for powered movement. If the posts, hinges or gate frame are not suitable, a new automation-ready gate system may be the better option.
Do you install sliding electric gates in Totton?
Yes. Sliding electric gates can be a good option for wider entrances, sloped driveways, short driveways or properties where swing gates would take up too much driveway space.
