Gates Christchurch
Driveway and pedestrian gates—timber, aluminium, or steel—with professional automation and clean installs that stand up to Canterbury conditions.
Secure, Smooth, and Built to Last
From street appeal to security, your gate works hard every day. We design and install robust sliding and swing gates, matched to your driveway, gradient, and wind exposure.
Automation is set up right—clean wiring, correct stops, tuned limits, and reliable access control—so your gate opens quietly and consistently.
Gates & Gate Automation We Install
Two straightforward options that cover most Christchurch properties. Built tidy, aligned, and tuned for daily use.
Driveway & Pedestrian Gates
Sliding or swing gates in timber, aluminium, or steel—privacy screens, slat styles, and custom profiles to match your fencing.
We handle posts, footings, rails, and track work—plus tidy cladding and hardware. Options for wind bracing, pedestrian latch sets, and flush driveway transitions.
Best for: Security, street appeal, and controlled access for homes and light commercial.
Gate Automation & Access Control
Reliable motors with soft start/stop, safety beams, and remote, keypad, or app access. Clean install and tested limits.
We spec motors to suit gate mass and usage, set correct stops and travel, and integrate safety sensors. Choose remotes, pin pads, intercoms, or smartphone control.
Best for: Daily convenience, better security, and hands-free access.
