ABOUT GATES

Gates for residential properties are usually made of timber, but may also be made of steel for greater security. Gates may be of a simple swing design, either single or double, or may be of sliding design. In both cases it is possible to fit electrically operated automatic gate opening systems.

Industrial gates are usually made of steel, which may be galvanized or powder coated in a choice of colours.

The leading UK gate suppliers, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have informative websites with illustrated online catalogues, and detailed product specifications for gates.

Its standard swing gate design is available in metal or timber, from ornate wrought iron to plain close board. FAAC also supplies sliding gates with automated opening and closing. If existing gates are in good condition, automating them may be a possibility. However, there are several points to consider before deciding on this. Are your present gate piers strong enough? Is it possible to lay electrical supply to the gates? What type of access control system would best suit your needs and your property?
