Frequently Asked Questions

Can I automate my existing gate?

Yes, most existing gates can be automated with the right retrofitting solutions, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of automated gate access without replacing your current structure. During our comprehensive site survey, we’ll assess your gate’s material, condition, weight, and hinges to determine its suitability for automation. If modifications are needed, we’ll recommend the most efficient and cost-effective approach to ensure a smooth and reliable operation.

What power source is needed for automated gates?

Yes, automated gates typically require a wired connection to your property’s electrical system to power the motor and control mechanisms. For homes where a direct connection isn’t feasible, we offer solar-powered gate automation as an energy-efficient alternative. Our team will assess your site’s power supply options and ensure a safe, compliant installation that aligns with your needs and preferences.

Are automated gates safe for children and pets?

Yes, all our automated gate systems include advanced safety features designed to prevent accidents and ensure secure operation. These include obstacle detection sensors, photocells, and force limitation technology to stop movement if an obstruction is detected. Additionally, we install all gates in compliance with UK safety regulations, ensuring they meet the latest industry standards for home security and automation.

How long does the installation process take?

The installation timeline depends on the complexity of the project, including groundwork, electrical connections, and gate configuration. For standard residential gate automation, installation typically takes 2–3 days after any necessary groundwork and electrical preparation. Larger, custom gate systems or additional features such as intercoms and access control may extend the timeline. Our team will provide a detailed schedule during the consultation.

Can I control my automated gate remotely?

Absolutely. Our automated gate systems come with various remote access options, including smartphone integration, key fobs, and intercom systems. With smart home connectivity, you can open, close, and monitor your gate from anywhere using a mobile app, ensuring secure, convenient access control whether you’re at home or away.

What maintenance does an automated gate require?

Regular servicing and maintenance are essential to ensure your automated gate system operates smoothly and remains in peak condition. We recommend annual maintenance, which includes lubricating moving parts, checking motor efficiency, testing safety sensors, and updating system software. Routine servicing helps prevent wear and tear, extends the lifespan of your gate, and ensures continued security and reliability.
