Gate automation FAQs

Can you automate my existing gates?

In many cases, yes. We’ll check the gate condition, hinge layout, weight and swing/slide clearances, then recommend a suitable system and any strengthening needed for a safe, reliable install.

What safety systems do automatic gates need?

Most setups use a combination of safety devices such as photocells, safety edges and force settings. We’ll advise the right options for your entrance and usage.

Do you cover Liverpool and the wider North West?

Yes — we regularly work across Liverpool, Merseyside and the North West. Send your postcode and a couple of photos and we’ll advise next steps.

What do you need for an accurate quote?

Photos of the entrance, rough opening width, whether it’s swing or sliding, and your preferred access method (keypad, fobs, intercom or GSM). If it’s a repair, describe the fault and any error lights/beeps.

Need a quote or a repair?
