Sliding versus swing gate, what suits my Auckland driveway?

Sliding gates save space and handle slopes and wind. Swing gates suit flat sites with room for the leaf arc.

Can I add automation to my gate later?

Yes. Build the gate motor ready and add a motor, safety beams and access control later.

What happens in a power cut with an automatic gate?

Use battery backup for continued operation or the manual release for safe access.

Are automatic gates safe for kids and pets in Auckland?

Yes when installed with safety beams and obstacle detection. Auto close is set carefully.

Can you automate my existing driveway gate?

Often yes. Site assessment confirms structural suitability and clearances.

Do I need consent for a driveway gate in Auckland?

Usually no for the mechanism. Check height and driveway proximity rules with Auckland Council.

How often should automated gate motors be serviced?

Annually for residential. Increase frequency for high cycle commercial use.

Gates Auckland

A good gate should feel easy. It should open, close and lock without fuss. That comes from correct design. We set hinge geometry, choose the right track or cantilever, consider wind, and select a motor that suits the gate weight. We keep wiring neat and hardware weather ready.

Gate Types

Sliding Driveway Gates

Space efficient horizontal travel works for narrow or sloped drives. Our sliding gates use track and roller for most homes or cantilever to avoid a track across the driveway. We fit quality racks, stops and guides so the leaf glides cleanly.

Swing Gates

A classic entrance for many Auckland homes. We design swing gates as single or double leaf, with careful setup of hinge geometry and clearances for smooth, quiet operation. We plan for wind and slope so the gate does not clip the ground.

Automatic and Electric Gates

Smooth soft start and soft stop. Safety beams and obstacle detection as standard. Our automatic gates include battery backup to avoid problems in power cuts. Control with remotes, keypads, intercoms or phone apps. Add schedules and auto close for daily convenience.

Commercial and Security Gates

Heavy duty frames and reinforced posts with access control. Our security gates include keypads, card and fob readers, intercoms, timers and ANPR cameras. High duty motors sized for cycle counts.

Control Your Gate Your Way

Remotes, keypads, intercoms, phone apps, schedules and auto close.
