    Sliding Gates – – – –

    How A Sliding Gate Actually Works On Your Property

    A sliding gate travels along a steel track bolted to a concrete footing at the base of your driveway. The gate panel runs on heavy duty nylon rollers inside a galvanised guide rail, and a rack and pinion drive connects the panel to a motor mounted at one end of the fence line. When you press the remote from your car, the motor engages, the gate slides open along the track, and you drive through without stepping out.

    We installed a 5.8 metre aluminium sliding gate for a customer in Morley who had been reversing into a swing gate every second week because his driveway was too short for the arc. That problem disappeared the day we bolted the new gate onto its track. The gate automation process we follow meets industry standards and we provide advice on motor sizing, track alignment, and safety sensors for every installation. Electric sliding gates are the most practical driveway gates for Perth properties where space is tight and security matters.

    Our installation service covers every suburb in the Perth metro area. We are not a sales office that subcontracts the hard work. Our own crew measures, welds, powder coats, and bolts every gate, which is why we can stand behind the finished result without crossing our fingers.

    Why Sliding Gates Suit Perth Driveways

    Built For Properties Where Space Is Limited

    Swing gates need a full arc of clear ground to open. Sliding gates travel parallel to your fence line and take up zero driveway space. We manufacture custom gates in various designs from 3 metres to over 7 metres wide for different applications, and every gate is built to suit the exact width of your opening. A Hillarys customer had a 4.2 metre entry between retaining walls with no room for a swing. We built an aluminium sliding gate that tucked behind the front fence and the family said it felt like they had gained an extra car length of driveway. Whether the property is residential or commercial, sliding gates solve the space problem that swing gates create.

    Gate Automation That Works Every Time

    We install automatic driveway gates with motors from ATA, Centurion, and BFT, a brand engineered in Italy and trusted across Australia. Nobody wants to wrestle a heavy gate in the rain at seven in the morning before work. Our experienced technicians size the motor to the weight and length of your gate so the system never strains. Remote control, keypad, intercom, and smartphone access are all available. We installed electric gates on a Mundaring property where the owners wanted to open the gate before their car reached the steep approach, and the 30 metre range remote solved that perfectly. We stand behind every motor with a manufacturer warranty and our own service guarantee, so if anything needs adjustment down the track, we come back and sort it out.

    Engineered For Sloping Ground And Uneven Sites

    Perth has no shortage of sloping ground, and a standard flat track will not work on a gradient. We create custom track profiles that follow the slope of your driveway and keep the gate panel level as it moves. Cantilever systems are another option for sites where a ground track would collect debris or interfere with drainage. Our expert team will provide advice on the best approach during a free site inspection. Sloping ground is not a reason to settle for a lesser gate. It is a reason to work with a team that knows how to handle it properly.

    Materials And Styles To Match Any Fence

    We manufacture sliding gates in aluminium, steel, and Colorbond to match your existing fencing. Aluminium slat gates are popular for modern builds. Colorbond panels create a seamless look from fence to gate. Steel provides maximum security for commercial premises. Every gate is powder coated in your choice of colour and fitted with stainless steel or zinc plated hardware rated for coastal and suburban conditions. Passers by should never be able to tell where the fence ends and the gate begins. We also supply timber sliding gates for properties where a natural look suits the streetscape better, and we can mix materials when the design calls for it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A sliding gate moves horizontally along a track parallel to your fence line. Swing gates pivot on hinges and need a clear arc of space to open. Sliding gates are better for short driveways, sloping ground, and properties where you cannot afford to lose driveway space. We install both types for different applications and can provide expert advice on which suits your property based on the layout, gradient, and how you use your driveway day to day.

    We build sliding gates from 3 metres for a single car entry up to 7.5 metres and beyond for wide double access on commercial properties. The gate is custom manufactured to your exact measurements. Wider gates use heavier gauge aluminium or steel framing and a more powerful motor to handle the additional weight. We have built gates over 7 metres wide for industrial premises and they operate as smoothly as a standard residential entry.

    A manual sliding gate starts from around $1,800 installed. Automatic sliding gates with motor, remote, and safety sensors typically range from $3,500 to $7,000 depending on the width, materials, and automation features. We provide a free quote at a competitive price after measuring your driveway so you know the full cost before we start.

    Yes. We engineer the track to follow the gradient of your driveway so the gate panel moves smoothly on sloping ground. For steeper sites, we recommend cantilever sliding gates that do not require a ground track at all. Our team will inspect your site and provide advice on the best solution.

    In most cases, yes. We retrofit motors and gate automation systems to existing manual sliding gates. The gate needs to be in good structural condition and the right weight for the motor. We inspect the gate during a free on site visit and let you know whether automation is practical or whether a new gate and motor package adds better value.

    All our automatic sliding gate installations include infrared safety beams that stop the gate if anything breaks the beam during closing. We also install limit switches, anti crush sensors, and manual release keys for emergency access. Every system meets Australian safety standards and we test all sensors on site before we leave. Safety is not optional on any gate we install, whether it is for Perth homes or commercial premises.
