Types of Automatic Gates We Install
From elegant swing gates to space-saving slide gates, we offer automated entry solutions for every driveway configuration.

Two panels meet in the center for wider driveways. Creates a grand entrance effect and allows for larger openings without requiring massive single panels.

Gate FAQ
Common Questions About Automatic Gates
It depends on your space. Swinging gates require clearance behind the gate to open, while sliding gates slide parallel to the fence, saving driveway space. Sliding gates are often better for steep driveways where a swing gate might hit the ground.
A high-quality gate operator typically lasts 10-15 years with regular maintenance. Factors like usage frequency, weather exposure, and proper installation play a big role in longevity.
In most cases, yes! As long as the gate is in good structural condition, swings or slides freely, and has sturdy posts, we can retrofit it with an electric or solar operator.
