Why automate your gate in Dandenong

Automating your driveway or side gate gives you:

• Everyday convenience - open and close from your phone, remote or keypad.

• Security with control - time your auto-close, set temporary access codes, see who’s at the gate.

• Safer operation - photoelectric safety beams and soft-start motors help protect people, pets and vehicles.

• Stronger street appeal - clean lines, neat cabling and a professional finish that suits your home or commercial site.

Which setup suits your driveway

We build sliding, swing and space-saving systems in steel or aluminium, then pair them with reliable motors and controls. A quick guide:

Driveway scenario	Best gate type	Space needed	Why it fits
Narrow or sloped driveway	Sliding	Side room along fence line	Tracks parallel to the fence - efficient on gradients and tight verges
Wide frontage or level drive	Swing (single or double)	Swing arc inside property	Classic look - fewer moving parts on level sites
Very tight setback or short driveway	Telescopic or bi-fold sliding	Shorter stack space	Panels nest together - maximises parking space

Not sure which way to go? We’ll assess width, slope, wind exposure and services on site, then recommend the right mechanism and motor size.

Smart controls that make life easier

Choose the control combo that matches how you live and work:

• Remotes and keypads - simple, robust and easy to share with family or staff.

• Video intercom - answer deliveries from your phone, even when you’re out.

• App control - open via Wi-Fi or 4G, set schedules and check gate status anywhere.

• Number-plate or fob access for commercial yards and strata car parks.

• Battery backup - keep moving during a power outage.

• Manual release - open safely if there’s an emergency.

Power and safety - what to plan before install

A neat, reliable system starts with good prep:

• Power and conduit - we’ll map the cable route, depth and glands for weather protection and future servicing.

• Drainage and track position for sliding gates so water and debris don’t foul the rollers.

• Certified safety gear - photo beams, edge protection where needed and compliant warning signage.

• Wind and weight - we size the motor and posts for local conditions and the panel’s mass.

• Australian Standards - our installs are designed to meet relevant safety requirements and good industry practice.

New build, retrofit or upgrade - our process

1. Consult and site measure - share photos or plans and we’ll visit your Dandenong property for a precise check.
