The details that make the difference
Automation is engineering you live with every day. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every project.
Almost any gate
Wooden, aluminium or wrought iron — we automate them all, and can recommend local gate manufacturers if you still need a gate made.
Safety first
As a member of the Door & Hardware Federation, we carry out risk assessments and ensure every installation complies with BS EN 12453.
Built to last
We use Italian-made motors from FAAC, CAME and Genius, chosen for their reliability and the ready availability of spare parts.
A personal service
A two-man family partnership since 1990 — you deal directly with the people doing the work, from first visit to aftercare.
Motors chosen for reliability
A few of the operators we install most often. Every recommendation follows a site visit — these are a starting point, not a menu.
SwingGenius Euro Bat 424
A dependable 24V articulated system with battery backup, well suited to gates up to around 3 metres.
SwingCAME ATI 24V
A discreet arm operator with an aluminium housing for gates up to 5 metres. Features obstacle detection and variable speed, controlled via the CAME ZLX24SA panel. A 4G module allows control from a smartphone.
SwingCAME ATS
A fast-action articulated arm with limit switches, suited to gates up to 5 metres. Uses the same ZLX24SA control and offers an optional 4G connectivity module.
A clear path from enquiry to aftercare
Site visit & risk assessment
We visit your property to assess the gate and site, and carry out a risk assessment so the system will comply with BS EN 12453.
The right system, recommended
We recommend the motors and controls best suited to your gate — from FAAC, CAME and Genius — with any intercoms or accessories you need.
A neat, careful installation
We take pride in tidy installations and product longevity, fitting Italian-made motors chosen for reliability and parts availability.
Guaranteed & supported
Every system carries a two-year call-out and repair guarantee, which can be extended with annual servicing to keep it running for years.
