Automatic Driveway Gates, Sliding & Swing
Custom-built motorised gates in steel, aluminium and timber. Designed to match your fence, fitted with reliable motors, safety sensors and remote/keypad/app access.
Driveway Gates Designed Around Your Block
An automatic gate has to do three things: look the part, run smoothly every day for 15+ years, and not crush your car. We design gates that match your existing fence, fit your slope and driveway width, and use motor brands we trust.
Gate types
- Sliding gates, best when you've got room beside the driveway. No swing arc needed, fast operation, very secure.
- Single swing gates, simple, traditional look, good for narrower driveways with flat ground.
- Double swing gates, for wider driveways, two leaves swinging from each side.
- Cantilever sliding gates, no ground track, ideal for sloped or uneven driveways.
Materials & styles
- Aluminium slat (matches modern slat fences)
- Tubular steel (classic security style)
- Colorbond infill (matches your boundary fence)
- Timber-look or real timber inlay
- Custom CNC laser-cut designs & logos
Motors, remotes & access
We use proven gate motors from brands like Centsys, BFT, and Nice. Standard inclusions:
- Motor sized for your gate weight & daily cycle count
- Photocell beam safety sensors (stops the gate if a car or person is in the way)
- 2 × handheld remotes
- Optional: keypad, intercom, app/Wi-Fi control, vehicle exit loop
- Battery backup so the gate works during power outages

Common Questions
Sliding or swing gate, which is better?
Sliding if you've got room next to the driveway and want speed/security. Swing if your driveway is narrower and the ground is flat. We'll recommend based on a quick look at the site.
Do I need an electrician?
If there's no power near the gate, yes, and we coordinate that for you. Many gates run on low-voltage and only need a single outlet at the motor.
What happens in a power cut?
Our motors include a manual release plus optional battery backup so the gate keeps working through outages.
Can I open the gate from my phone?
Yes, most modern motors support Wi-Fi modules so you can open with an app, see when the gate has been used, and grant temporary access codes.
How long does an automatic gate install take?
Typically 2–3 days on site, plus electrical sign-off. Custom-fabricated gate leaves take 3–5 weeks to make in our workshop before install day.
