Professional Gate Automation Systems Across Hampshire
Perimeter Fencing and Gates installs professional gate automation systems across Hampshire for private driveway gates, rural entrances, residential properties and selected commercial sites.
We focus on correctly specified automation: swing gate motors, sliding gate motors, underground motors, above-ground operators, control panels, access control, safety edges, photocells and commissioning.
If you have suitable existing gates that need automating, or you are planning a new automated entrance, we can survey the site and recommend the right automation setup for safe, reliable everyday use.

Gate Automation Options Across Hampshire
Every gate automation system needs to be specified around the gate size, weight, opening type, usage level and site layout. Correct specification is what gives long-term reliability — not simply fitting a motor and hoping it works.
Not sure which automation system is right?
We assess the gate, opening type, usage level, access requirements and site layout before recommending the correct gate automation setup.
Our Gate Automation Process.
Every automation system is specified around the gate structure, motor load, mechanical clearances, access control, safety devices and day-to-day use before we recommend the right setup.
Survey & Technical Specification
We assess the gate framework, leaf weight, hinge geometry, opening movement, structural loading and access requirements so the correct automation system is specified from the start.
- Gate structure, weight and movement checked
- Swing or sliding motor system specified
- Mechanical clearances and access control positions planned
Motors, Controls & Access
Motors, control panels, smart intercoms, keypads, fobs and access devices are installed cleanly and matched to how the entrance is used every day.
- Concealed hydraulic drives or linear rams where suitable
- Rack-and-pinion sliding systems where specified
- GSM intercoms, keypads, remotes and fobs configured
Safety, Testing & Handover
The finished system is tested, calibrated and commissioned for controlled movement, safe stopping, reliable access and predictable daily operation.
- Force settings and movement checked
- Photocell loops and infrared safety beams tested
- Clear user handover provided

Gate Automation FAQs
Common questions about gate automation in Hampshire, including automating existing gates, motor selection, access control, safety devices and professional commissioning.
Who installs gate automation in Hampshire?
Perimeter Fencing and Gates installs gate automation systems across Hampshire and surrounding areas. We automate suitable existing gates, install new automated gate systems, and advise on motors, access control, safety devices and compliant setup during the site survey.
Can you automate my existing gates?
Usually, yes — provided the gates are structurally sound, correctly hung and suitable for automation. We assess gate weight, hinge points, alignment, opening type, ground conditions and site layout before recommending the right motor and safety setup.
What type of gate motor do I need?
The right motor depends on the gate type, weight, opening width, available space and expected use. Sliding motors suit sliding gates and wider openings. Underground motors offer a discreet option for suitable swing gates. Above-ground operators are a robust, service-friendly option for many installations.
How long does a gate automation installation take?
Many gate automation installations can be completed in a day, depending on the gate, cable routes, access control requirements and safety equipment needed. If trenching, power supply work or more complex setup is required, we confirm this during the survey.
Can I use a phone, keypad or intercom with gate automation?
Yes. Gate automation can be integrated with GSM phone control, keypads, fobs, remote controls and video intercoms depending on the site, signal and how the entrance needs to be used. We recommend the most reliable access control setup during the survey.
What safety features are required for gate automation?
Gate automation may require photocells, safety edges, force settings, safe stop zones and correct commissioning. The exact safety setup depends on the gate design, movement area and risk points around the entrance.
Do you replace old or unreliable gate automation systems?
Yes. If an existing automation system is unreliable, unsafe or badly specified, we can assess the setup and advise whether servicing, upgrade or replacement is the best route. Replacement may include motors, control panels, access control and safety equipment.
Planning gate automation for your entrance?
Book a survey and we’ll assess the gate, entrance layout, power requirements, access control and safety devices before recommending the right automation setup.
