Built-In Safety and Compliance Standards

Ensuring Every Installation Meets Legal and Operational Requirements

Installing an electric gate isn’t just about convenience; it’s also about meeting safety standards that protect users and property. Our gate installations adhere strictly to UK regulations, ensuring every gate is safe, durable, and compliant with the law.

Our Safety and Compliance Features Include:

  • Obstacle Detection: Sensors stop and reverse the gate if a person or object is detected in the path.
  • Manual Override: Every system comes with a manual release for use during power outages or emergencies.
  • Anti-Crush Systems: Integrated safety edges and control software prevent excessive force from being applied.
  • Secure Locking: Electric locks and magnetic holds keep gates closed when needed.
  • Certification: All installations comply with BS EN 12453 safety regulations and CE marking requirements.

Safety isn’t optional; it’s a priority. We make sure each gate system operates smoothly and safely from day one.

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.
