Common Questions

Here are answers to questions our clients ask.

Main advantages are: Space Efficiency (ideal for short driveways or slopes where swing gates won’t work), Security (often perceived as harder to force), Suitability for Wide Openings, and a clean, modern aesthetic.

A single gate leaf slides horizontally along a fixed track, usually using wheels at the base. A motor drives the gate via a toothed rack attached to the gate, controlled by remotes, keypads etc.

Yes, they are very secure. Their solid structure running in a track makes them difficult to force open. The motor and drive mechanism also provide effective locking when closed.

Absolutely. You can customise the material (aluminium, steel, composite, wood), design style, colour, height, width, and automation features to perfectly suit your property and requirements.

Key maintenance includes keeping the track clear of debris (leaves, stones), checking wheel condition, and having the motor and safety devices serviced annually. Material-specific upkeep (e.g., cleaning) is also needed.

They are ideal for driveways with limited depth, upward slopes, or very wide entrances. They require sufficient space alongside the driveway for the gate to slide into when fully open.

We offer sliding gates in durable Aluminium, low-maintenance Composite, high-security Steel, and natural Wood, each providing different aesthetics and performance characteristics.

Manufacturing takes typically 3-6 weeks depending on material and complexity. Installation, including groundwork for the track and motor, usually takes 3-5 days.

Like other automated gates, sliding systems have a manual release mechanism, typically key-operated, allowing you to disengage the motor and slide the gate open or closed by hand.

We proudly serve customers across Worcestershire and the West Midlands, including towns such as Birmingham, Worcester, and Dudley. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, feel free to get in touch.
