THE PART NOBODY BUDGETS FOR

Most automatic gate failures are not the motor.

They are a gate that was never built to be automated. Posts set for a gate you push by hand. A leaf that drops a few millimetres over a wet season. A driveway that rises as the gate swings across it.

An operator will fight all of that, every cycle, until it burns out. So we size the posts and footings for a powered leaf, hang it to stay square, and only then fit the automation.

CHOOSING A TYPE

Which gate suits your driveway

Space and slope decide this more than budget does. Here is the honest comparison.

Swing

Best forLevel ground with room for the leaf to open into the property.

OperatorArm operator, or underground if you want the hardware hidden.

Watch forA driveway that rises as the gate swings across it.

Sliding

Best forShort driveways, or where you cannot give up the swing space.

OperatorTrack-mounted motor running along the fence line.

Watch forThe ground track needs keeping clear of gravel and ice.

Cantilever

Best forCommercial and industrial entrances, and rough ground.

OperatorCounterbalanced, so nothing crosses the driveway to jam.

Watch forNeeds run-back room alongside the opening.

WHAT A COMPLETE INSTALL COVERS

A motor is about a third of the job

01

The gate, built for load

Posts, footings and hinges sized for a powered leaf rather than a hand-pushed one.

02

Operator matched to the leaf

Sized to the weight and the duty cycle, so it is not working at its limit every time.

03

Safety, not as an upsell

Sensors or loops so it will not close on a vehicle or a person, plus a manual release for power cuts.

04

Access and handover

Keypad, remotes or intercom fitted, force and travel limits set, and the gate cycled before we leave.

YOU MAY NOT NEED A NEW GATE

Why Choose Us

When it’s your driveway or your business entrance, you want the gate to work the first winter and the fifth one, not just look good on installation day. We set posts for wet coastal ground, fit hardware rated for daily use in the rain, and stand behind our own installs because our own crew put them in, start to finish, no subcontractor passing the job around. That’s the difference between a gate that’s still swinging true after a few Vancouver winters and one that’s already sagging or sticking by the second year, and it’s the reason so many of our customers come from referrals instead of ads. 

Call (778) 244-4180 for a free on-site estimate on automatic gate installation in Vancouver, BC. We’ll walk your property with you, talk through your options honestly instead of upselling you on features you don’t need, and give you a real written number before you commit to anything. If you’re comparing quotes, ask any company how long they’ve actually been installing gates in this climate, and ask who’s showing up on install day, that tells you more than any brochure will.
