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.​
