Professional CCTV & Alarm Systems for Businesses

It is a common misconception that gate automation is a simple DIY task suitable for a weekend project. In reality, an automatic gate is defined legally as a piece of machinery operating in an uncontrolled environment. Without professional design and installation, these systems can pose severe risks to pedestrians and vehicles. In the UK, all automatic gates must comply with strict regulations under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about our Automatic Gates installation and maintenance services.
Yes. Every system we install includes a manual release mechanism designed for emergencies. This is typically a secured key-operated lever on the motor itself that disengages the gearbox, allowing you to push the gates open manually by hand. We will demonstrate exactly how to do this during the handover.

Like any machinery with moving parts, automatic gates require regular maintenance to ensure continued safety and reliability. For standard residential use, we recommend an annual service to check safety devices, lubricate hinges and rams, and check for wear and tear. Commercial high-usage gates may require six-monthly inspections.
Yes. If you have bought a property with existing electric gates and are unsure of their safety history or compliance, we can conduct a comprehensive safety audit and force test. We will provide a report detailing their condition and any upgrades required to bring them into compliance with current standards.
Absolutely. We can integrate modern GSM switches or Wi-Fi controllers into most gate systems. This allows you to open your gates via a secure app on your smartphone from anywhere in the world, or even call the gate to open it. This is ideal for letting in deliveries when you are not home.
This varies depending on the complexity of the groundworks. Automating existing gates with surface-mounted motors may take 2-3 days. A full installation involving new gates, concrete foundation work for underground motors, and running new power supplies may take a week or more. We will provide a clear schedule during the proposal stage.
Yes, all our installations come with a standard warranty on both equipment and workmanship. We also offer ongoing maintenance packages that can extend warranty periods and ensure priority call-outs in the event of an issue.
