Gate Automation
At Simply Secure, we specialise in the supply and installation of high-quality automated gate systems for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your existing manual gates or embark on a new installation, our expert engineers are here to provide tailored solutions that combine security, convenience, and aesthetic appeal.​
Why Choose Automated Gates?
Automated gates offer a seamless way to control access to your property, enhancing security while adding value and curb appeal. With options ranging from straightforward electro-mechanical openers to sophisticated hydraulic systems integrated with intercoms and access controls, we have solutions to fit various needs and budgets.​
Types of Gate Automation Systems
1. Ram Operators
Ideal for properties where gate aesthetics are less of a concern, ram operators are cost-effective and easier to install. They require gates to be strong and properly hinged towards the rear of the gate posts. Rams can typically open gates up to 110 degrees and are suitable for wider gates without the need for additional electric locks.​
2. Articulated Arm Operators
Perfect for retrofitting existing manual gates, articulated arm operators are mounted on the back of gate pillars and are effective even when gates are hinged in the centre of large pillars. They offer a fast and cost-effective automation solution.​
3. Underground Operators
For those seeking a discreet solution, underground operators are concealed within foundation boxes, making them less visible and more resistant to vandalism. They are ideal for high-quality gates and can open up to 180 degrees when properly specified.​
4. Sliding Gate Motors
When space is limited or driveways are sloped, sliding gate systems are an excellent choice. They can be installed with tracks or as cantilevered systems, which are beneficial in areas with high debris levels.​
Integration with Other Systems
Our automated gate systems can be seamlessly integrated with:​
- Intercom Systems: Audio and video intercoms for secure communication.
- Access Controls: Keypads, push-button openers, card readers, and key fobs.
- Garage Doors: Operate your gate and garage door with a single remote control.​

What happens if there is a power failure — will I still be able to open the gates?
Yes. All Simply Secure automated gate systems are fitted with manual release options, allowing you to operate the gates by hand during power cuts. We can also offer backup battery systems for uninterrupted use.
How secure are automated gates?
Very secure. Electric gates create an additional barrier to your property and can be combined with security features like coded keypads, remote controls, intercoms, and video entry systems for enhanced protection.
How much does it cost to automate gates?
The price depends on several factors including gate type, size, and preferred automation style (ram, underground, sliding or articulated arms). Simply Secure offers free surveys and personalised quotes to ensure you only pay for what suits your property and budget.
Will installation cause disruption to my property?
Our professional installation teams aim to keep disruption to a minimum. Most gate automation projects are completed quickly and cleanly, with all work carried out respectfully and tidily.
Can I open my gates remotely from inside my home or elsewhere?
Yes. Our systems can be operated using remote controls, mobile apps, intercoms, or integrated smart home technology, allowing you to control access whether you’re indoors or away from the property.
Do automated gates need regular servicing?
For optimum safety and performance, we recommend annual servicing. Simply Secure offers comprehensive maintenance packages to keep your gates running smoothly year after year
Do Simply Secure automated gates come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every gate automation system we install is backed by a manufacturer’s warranty, plus our own installation guarantee for your complete peace of mind.
