Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of automatic gate installation projects do you undertake?

    We design and install bespoke automatic gate systems for residential homes, private estates and commercial properties. Our projects include swing gates, sliding gates, wooden gates, aluminium gates, security gates and integrated access control systems, with each installation designed around the property and the customer’s requirements.

  • Where do you install automatic and electric gates?

    We complete automatic gate installation projects throughout Kent, London and the South East, including Ashford, Canterbury, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Folkestone. Our project portfolio showcases completed installations across the areas we serve.

  • Do you install bespoke wooden electric gates?

    Yes. We design and install bespoke wooden electric gates using quality timber and hardwoods, including Iroko. Wooden gates can be manufactured in traditional or contemporary styles and combined with professional automation and access control.

  • Do you install automatic swing and sliding gates?

    Yes. We install both automatic swing gates and sliding electric gates. The right system depends on factors including the available driveway space, entrance width, ground conditions, gate design and how the entrance will be used. We assess these requirements during the site survey.

  • What automation systems can be used on electric driveway gates?

    The automation system is selected to suit the gate design, size, weight and expected usage. Our installations can incorporate professional gate motors together with safety equipment and access control. Some of our projects use NICE automation, including concealed underground motors for swing gates.

  • Can automatic gates include keypads, intercoms and smartphone access?

    Yes. Automatic gate projects can incorporate access control such as keypads, GSM and video intercoms, remote controls, fobs and smartphone access. We recommend the most suitable options according to how you want residents, visitors and authorised users to enter the property.

  • How much does an automatic gate installation cost?

    The cost depends on the gate type, size, material, automation equipment, access control and any groundwork required. As every installation is different, we provide a site survey and a quotation based on the individual project rather than using one fixed price for every gate system.

  • How long does an automatic gate installation take?

    Installation time varies according to the gate design, automation system, groundwork and site conditions. Once the design and preparation work are complete, many installations can be completed within a few days, while larger or more complex bespoke projects may take longer.

  • What happens after my automatic gates have been installed?

    After installation, the gate automation and safety systems are configured and tested before handover. Auto Gates Kent also provides ongoing servicing, maintenance and repair support to help keep automatic gates operating safely and reliably.
