Automatic Gates Leicester

An automatic gate does more than secure a property. It makes a statement. Whether you’re protecting a residential driveway or managing vehicle access to a busy commercial site, the right gate system gives you control, deters unwanted visitors and takes away the daily frustration of manual operation.

We’ve been supplying and installing automatic gates across Leicester and the wider East Midlands for over 20 years. That experience matters when it comes to specifying the right solution, installing it correctly and keeping it working year after year.

Swing Gates

Swing gates work on a hinged mechanism, opening inward or outward like a door. Single or double leaf options are available depending on your entrance width.

They suit residential driveways particularly well, and are a natural fit for properties with enough clearance for the gate to open freely.

Pair them with intercom, keypad or proximity card access and you have a system that works without anyone needing to get out of their vehicle.

We install swing gate operators from leading manufacturers including CAME, FAAC, BFT and Beninca. The motor sits discreetly in the pillar or underground, keeping the overall look clean.

Sliding Gates

Where space is tight and a swing gate simply won’t work, sliding gates are the answer. They run along a track parallel to your boundary, so there’s no arc of clearance required. That makes them popular for commercial premises, industrial units and properties on busier roads where a gate swinging outward would be a hazard.

Sliding gates can be built to span substantial widths and handle frequent daily cycles, making them a solid choice for high traffic sites. We specify motors rated to the expected usage, so a gate on a busy distribution yard gets a different spec to one on a private home.

Cantilever Sliding Gates

Cantilever gates slide without touching the ground, using a counterbalanced track system mounted to the posts. They’re ideal for sites where the ground surface is uneven or where a floor track would cause problems for pedestrians or vehicles. Often found on industrial sites and car parks, they require slightly more space behind the opening but offer excellent reliability in challenging conditions.

Integrating Gates with Access Control

A gate is only as useful as the system controlling who can open it. We integrate automatic gates with the full range of access control methods, including keypads, proximity fob and card readers, video intercoms, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) for vehicle access, and remote controls.

If you already have an access control system on site, we’ll work with what you have. If you’re starting from scratch, we can design something that covers your gate, pedestrian entrance and any other access points in one managed system.

We specialise in gate supply and installation, as well as anything that involves integrating gates into a wider access or security setup, we’re the right people to speak to for everything automated gates related.
