    Automatic Gates – – – –

    What Gate Automation Actually Involves

    Gate automation is not a matter of bolting a motor to whatever gate happens to be there. Automatic gates Perth properties rely on need the motor sized to the weight, length, and operating frequency of the gate. The track or hinge system needs to be in sound condition. The power supply needs to be located, run, and protected. Safety sensors need to be positioned where they will actually detect an obstruction, not where they are easiest to mount.

    We install electric gates on sliding gates, swing gates, pedestrian gates, driveway gates, and boom gates for yard and commercial access across Perth. Every install starts with a site inspection where we assess the gate, the power source, the driveway gradient, and your security needs. We match the motor type and mounting method to the gate style, the site layout, and how often the gate will cycle. Gates perth properties depend on need to handle everything from a couple of daily openings on a quiet residential street to hundreds of cycles a day on a commercial car park entry.

    Our automation solutions cover everything from a basic remote control on a single residential sliding gate for Perth homes to full access control systems with intercoms, keypads, number plate recognition, and smartphone integration on commercial property in Western Australia.

    The functionality of these systems is amazing when set up properly. We deal with the fencing, the fabrication, the wiring, the programming, and the safety compliance so you do not have to coordinate three different trades to achieve a working gate system. From initial sales communication through to completed installation, our quality workmanship speaks for itself.

    Why Motorised Gates Are Worth The Upgrade

    Access Without Leaving Your Car

    Remote controls, keypads, intercoms, and smartphone apps all give you ways to operate your gate without stepping outside. A single remote suits most residential driveways. A keypad works for rental properties where you cannot hand out remotes. Intercom systems let you see and speak with visitors before deciding whether to open the gate. We program every access control system on site.

    Security That Runs Day And Night

    An automatic gate keeps your property secure without relying on someone remembering to lock up. The gate closes on a timer, the motor holds it locked, and the only way through is with a valid remote, code, or intercom release. For business premises, we integrate gate automation with existing security and access control solutions so the gate becomes part of the broader system. We supply and install reliable systems that keep your business secure and your yard covered.

    Power Backup And Safety Built In

    Every automatic gate we install includes infrared safety sensors that stop the gate if anything breaks the beam during closing. Battery backup keeps the gate operational during power outages, and a manual release key provides emergency access. We test all safety equipment on site before signing off. The safety compliance process is not optional on any gate we install, whether it is located on a residential street or a busy commercial site.

    Motors Sized To Your Gate

    An undersized motor will burn out. An oversized motor will slam the gate and stress the track. We size every motor to the exact weight and length of your gate using brands we trust after years of installation and repairs across Perth. ATA for residential sliding gates. Centurion for heavy commercial applications. BFT for swing gates where Italian engineering justifies the price. Getting the motor right is the single most important decision in the whole process.

    Applications – – – –

    Sliding, Swing, And Everything That Moves

    We automate sliding gates, swing gates, pedestrian gates, and boom gates for residential and commercial properties. Sliding gate automation is the most common request because sliding gates suit Perth driveways where space is tight. Swing gate automation works on properties with wider entries and room for the gate arc.

    Boom gates are popular on commercial sites, car parks, and strata complexes where you need to control vehicle access without a full gate panel. We install boom gate systems with loop detectors, intercoms, and card readers depending on the site requirements.

    For new gate installations, we fabricate the gate and install the automation as a single package. For existing manual gates, we retrofit motors and automation systems to the gate you already have. Our experienced technicians inspect the gate during a free on site visit and give you an honest assessment of whether a retrofit makes sense or whether a new gate and motor package delivers better value in the market long term.

    Recent Automatic Gate Projects

    Nedlands – Motor Replacement And Track Realignment

    The property manager contacted us after the third motor burnout in two years on a 6.2 metre steel sliding gate. We replaced the undersized unit with a Centurion D5 Evo, realigned the track, and adjusted the limit switches. Fourteen months later the gate has not missed a single cycle.

    Claremont – Swing Gate On Sloping Driveway

    A previous installer abandoned the job after realising articulated arms would not clear the stone pillars on a sloping entry. We switched to ram-style actuators, adjusted the opening arc, and completed the install in a single day. The customer had been manually opening those gates for eight months waiting for someone who could solve the problem.

    Wembley – Commercial Boom Gate With Loop Detection

    A strata complex needed to control car park access after repeated issues with unauthorised parking. We installed a boom gate with inductive loop detectors, a keypad for residents, and intercom for visitors. Completed and operational within two days. The strata manager said parking complaints stopped within a week.

    Bicton – Retrofit Motor To Existing Sliding Gate

    The homeowner had a perfectly good aluminium sliding gate but was tired of dragging it open by hand every morning. We retrofitted an ATA Neoslide motor, installed a new rack and pinion drive, added safety sensors, and programmed two remotes. Four hours later the customer said it felt like a completely different property.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A motor and automation kit fitted to an existing gate typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the motor brand, gate type, and access control features. A complete new gate with automation starts from around $3,500 for a residential sliding gate. We provide a free quote after inspecting your site so the price reflects your actual gate automation needs.

    In most cases, yes. We retrofit motors to existing sliding gates and swing gates provided the gate is structurally sound and the gate weight suits the motor. Our team will inspect your gate during a free site visit and let you know whether automation is practical or whether a new gate delivers better value.

    Battery backup systems keep your automatic gate operational during power outages. Most systems hold enough charge for dozens of cycles. Every gate also has a manual release key for emergency access. We install battery backup as standard, not as an optional extra.

    The motors we install from ATA, Centurion, and BFT typically last 10 to 15 years with annual maintenance. Reliability depends on correct motor sizing, proper installation, and regular servicing. Most repairs we attend are on gates where the original installers from another company undersized the motor or never set up the safety sensors properly.

    We install remote controls, keypads, video intercoms, card readers, and smartphone app integration. For commercial sites, we integrate gate automation with existing security systems and offer solutions like number plate recognition and timed access schedules. Every system is programmed and tested on site before handover.

    We recommend annual servicing to keep your gate system running smoothly. Our maintenance service covers motor performance, safety sensor testing, battery health, track and roller condition, and remote programming. Regular maintenance extends the life of the motor and keeps the gate operating safely. Contact our team to request a service visit.

    Talk To Us About Your Automatic Gate

    Half the automatic gate jobs we do start with a phone call from someone whose existing system has let them down. A motor that burned out too soon, an installer who disappeared after taking the deposit, or a gate that works most days but jams on cold mornings when you least have the patience for it. We would rather install it right the first time, but we are just as comfortable inheriting problems and sorting them out properly. Our expertise in gate automation across Perth means we have seen most of the ways these systems can go wrong, and we know how to make sure they do not. Contact us for a free quote.
