Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install domestic gates and automation? - It depends on the size of the gates, the level of access controls and availability of the power source for the automation but usually between 1 and 2 days.
Where a full installation is being undertaken, our preferred approach is to undertake a first fix, usually one site day and a second fix, usually one site day.
The first fix includes installation of posts where necessary, all ground works and all cabling. On completion of the first fix, there will be no further disturbance to the ground, and if necessary, the customer is then able to undertake other work to the drive, as all ground works by ourselves have been completed.
Having undertaken the first fix we are able to ensure that all measurements and details for the gate are accurate and correct.
Between the first fix and the second fix, this time is allocated to the manufacture of the gates (whether wooden or steel) this time may vary according to the time of year and the work already planned in, however it is usually about three weeks.
On return to site to undertake the second fix, the gates will be hung, automated and all works completed to the customer’s satisfaction.

How long does it take to install industrial gates and automation? - It depends on the size of the gates, the level of access controls and availability of the power source for the automation but usually between 2 and 3 days.
