Can I Have Electric Driveway Gates?

Automatic gates offer an extra layer of security for domestic and commercial properties. Many people in rural Stirlingshire and Stirling town opt for the security and ease of an automatic gate.

For homeowners with driveways, electric gates allow you to close and open your gate easily. This means you can keep it securely closed and only allow yourself and others with your permission to enter.

Our gates have the option of an intercom or buzzer so that you can admit people to your home easily – the perfect security solution for your home and garden.

This option comes in a sliding gate or inward moving or swing gate range. Sliding gates can be useful for saving space and look very attractive. They are also ideal if you have a sloped driveway that cannot accommodate an inwards swinging gate.

We also design and install composite gates with wooden privacy fronts for additional privacy and security. These are available in a wide range of colours and styles and make it possible to completely block anyone from seeing inside your property through the gate. And, of course, we can offer real wood gates too!

How are Automated Gates Made and Installed?

One of our engineers or designers will visit your home to measure the gate or railing needed. They will also discuss your needs and provide options for your gate.

Once you have approved the design, the workshop will make your gate to order. Our team will install it at a time convenient to you. An electrician will also attend to supply power and any sensors and install your intercom if you want one.

You will have several options regarding how to operate your gate. Intercoms are available with or without codes, video, voice, ID card authorisation and key fobs. We can also install an exit sensor, so you don’t need to let anyone out of the property.
