Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Autogate will happily give advice to assist third parties in carrying out groundworks.

If a system only opens part way, it could be physically obstructed, or the operator settings may require adjustment.

The first check should be to see if anything is in the way of the gate hindering the movement.

All systems have a manual override to enable access when required, manual release keys enable manual operation.

 

All gates are made to measure so therefore we usually allow 6-8 weeks for manufacturing. Automating exising gates can be carried out on a quicker time scale.

Autogate would recommend contacting your local council to establish whether planning or highway permission is required. Autogate will not accept responsibility for any issue arising as a result of planning or highways permission problems or disputes.

Systems can be set up using timers to allow free entry and exit at times chosen by you. A more secure system could have a keypad with trades button or audio systems that communicate with the house. We also offer a system that calls to your BT landline or mobile phone.

This could be through a push to exit button mounted inside the boundary, a keypad or ground loop, all can be run through a timer.

Autogate can automate existing gates, subject to survey.

A 13amp constant supply is required for the automation system.

All gate, garage door and barrier systems require maintenance to keep the system reliable and safe.

Katie and the Team at Autogate provided an excellent service! The Gates, whilst expensive, are incredible value for money because they are of the highest quality and just work. The installation was hassle free, the team delivered on exactly what they said they would and on-time and within budget. Thanks to all.

Our beautiful gates installed by Robbie - hard working and professional and friendly. Katie was so helpful selecting gates and outdoor lighting . Gates are robust and you would never know they are not wooden (wood effect coating) . Thank you Robbie and Katie - we are very happy and have received so many compliments

After having nothing but aggravation from our original installers it was a real pleasure to deal with a "proper" company. They arrived on time identified the issue and replaced the required part all without fuss or drama, I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any future clients.

Our electric gate was recently damaged in windy weather. Not having owned an electric gate in the past I was a bit worried about what to do. A quick bit of Googling found Autogate and Kate (office) organized and explained things clearly, politely and professionally and set up an appointment with Dan (engineer). Dan turned up bang on time and was just as friendly and professional. He patiently explained what he was doing and gave me complete peace of mind. A very nice company with very good people and an excellent service.
