FAQs

Electric gates are more expensive than manual gates, as you would expect. However, in our experience, they are nowhere near as expensive as many people imagine. The exact cost will depend on the dimensions, materials and style of automatic gates you are interested in installing at your home or business premises so please feel free to call and request a detailed quotation at any time.
There are various types of mechanisms that can be used to trigger the opening of electric sliding gates. The most commonly used are pressure sensors, which are buried under the ground, and motion sensors, which are normally installed on gateposts. Pressure sensors are concealed, making them more aesthetically pleasing, but they do require some excavation whereas above-ground motion sensors for electric driveway gates do not.
All good-quality industrial and residential electric gates include a manual override so owners can open and close them in the event of a power cut. The override disengages the electric motor and lock so the gate can be pushed open or shut. Different gates have different types of override but there’s no need to worry: whether you install electric garden gates or driveway gates, they come with full instructions.
The exact amount automatic gates cost in terms of electricity depends on the size of the motor used but it is so small, you won’t notice it. For an average-sized motor, opening and closing your gate would be roughly equivalent to turning your microwave on for 10 seconds. With low electric gates price and running costs, there’s no reason not to have one installed.
