Quick Answers
The questions we get asked most before a gate automation install. If you want a fast answer, send a photo of the gate, the opening width, and your postcode via the form below.
How long does a gate automation installation take?
Most automation installs are completed in a day. If trenching for power, new safety edges, or access control wiring is required, we’ll confirm the expected timeframe at survey.
Can you automate my existing gates?
Usually, yes — as long as the gates are structurally sound and hung correctly. We’ll assess weight, hinge points, clearances and alignment, then recommend the right operator and safety setup.
What type of motor do I need — sliding, underground, or arms?
It depends on the gate type, space, and the finish you want. Sliding motors suit wider openings. Underground motors keep hardware discreet. Above-ground arms are a robust option for retrofit installs when underground isn’t suitable.
What safety features are required for electric gates?
Safety depends on the site, but typically includes photocells and/or safety edges, plus correct force settings and safe stop zones. We install and commission systems to meet UK guidance and best practice.
Can I use my phone, keypad, or intercom to open the gates?
Yes — we can integrate GSM phone control, keypads, fobs, and video intercoms depending on signal, power and your preferred access. We’ll recommend the most reliable option at survey.
Do you repair or replace existing automation systems?
Yes. If motors have failed or the system is unreliable, we can replace operators, upgrade safety devices, modernise control panels, and improve access control for a more dependable setup.
