Frequently Asked Questions
What type of gate is best for coastal environments?
For homes in coastal areas like Harrington, aluminium or stainless steel gates are the best choice. These materials are resistant to rust, salt air corrosion and UV damage. Aluminium is lightweight and can be powder-coated in any colour for added durability. Stainless steel offers higher strength and a sleek finish. Both are low maintenance and ideal for long-term outdoor use.
Can I automate an existing manual gate?
In many cases, yes — existing manual gates can be converted to automatic operation by installing a compatible motor and gate opener system. The suitability depends on the gate's structure, weight and mounting hardware. If the gate is solid and in good condition, it’s often more cost-effective to upgrade it than to start from scratch. We can inspect the current setup and recommend the best approach.
How wide should a driveway gate be?
Driveway gates are usually between 3 to 5 metres wide, depending on vehicle access needs. If you have large vehicles, boats or trailers, a wider gate will ensure easy entry and exit. Swing gates need more clearance room, while sliding gates are ideal for tighter driveways. We tailor each gate to your specific space and access requirements so you get the functionality you need.
What’s the difference between sliding and swinging gates?
Sliding gates move sideways along a track, making them ideal for properties with limited space in front or behind the gate. Swinging gates open like a door, either inward or outward, and require room to do so. Both can be automated and are secure, but the best choice depends on your layout, slope, and how much space is available on either side of the entrance.
