What happens to an automatic gate during a power cut?

All systems include a manual release key; many can add a battery backup so the gate still operates when power is down.

Do I need planning permission for an automatic gate in the UK?

Most domestic gates don’t need permission if they replace an existing gate and are under 2 m (or 1 m next to a highway), but local rules vary—check with your council.

How much does automatic gate installation cost?

Costs vary by size, material, and automation; typical residential projects start from a few thousand pounds, with commercial systems higher.

Which is better: swing or sliding gates?

Swing suits level driveways with room to open; sliding is ideal for sloped or tight entrances and heavy-duty use.

Can you install gates on a sloped driveway?

Yes—sliding gates or specially hinged rising-swing designs work well on slopes.
