Steel gates are often used as security gates and can be sliding gates or swing gates. Traditionally sliding automatic gates have been used for heavy duty or commercial auto gates, with swing auto gates being used in lighter domestic automatic gate driveways. Like most rules, there are exeptions. Sliding automatic gates can be used where room is tight, and swing gates would interfere with parking space for the second vehicle.

Melbourne Automatic Gates have used underground automatic gate motors for heavy wrought iron or solid steel gates to 500kg, and industrial rams for commercial gates to 800kg. Most residential driveway gates can have automatic gate motors which can be powered with safe low voltage cable running from the control box.

This 24 volt automatic gate system is a perfect complement to access control systems such as intercom access or keypads, or push button remote transmitters which are kept in the car. Our commercial gate systems use stronger 240 volt motors. Steel gates are galvanised, then powder coated or epoxy painted so that they will last and look good season after season.

Ray and his team are professional, experienced and efficient. They are also great guys. They replaced the motors on my gates which were 20 years old and came out quickly when I explained that we had just gotten back from living overseas and were going through a number of stressful circumstances. I was even more impressed by their after sales service. We had a faulty battery which they replaced immediately and they also soldered a bolt that had worn on our gate. Thank you Ray.
Needless to say I would highly recommend this company and use them again in the future for servicing etc.

I was very impressed with the service from Ray at Automatic Gates. I urgently needed replacement remotes for our gates and he was out of the shop but kindly left the remotes for me at the shop next door so I could have the remotes in time.

Simon and the team at Automatic Gates were fantastic to deal with. They went out of their way to ensure our replacement gate motor was fitted prior to Covid lock down, so that our property was kept secure. Very happy with the service of the entire team, as well as the installation itself. Highly recommended.

Just wanted to thank you so much for the fabulous job you did replacing the closing mechanisms on my large gates. Ray your quick response to my request, efficient and kind understanding of my terror at being left without closing gates was commendable. Your two installers Rod and Sam were respectful, knew exactly what they were doing and understood the distancing and hygiene problems we are facing with the virus situation. They arrived on time, did a perfect job and left my driveway clean and I had working gates within hours. Thank you so much. I highly recommend your company and

Excellent service and excellent quality.
I have recently had a pedestrian gate, sliding driveway gate and intercom all made & installed through Automatic Gates. I found them to be professional, extremely knowledgeable and I'm thrilled with the final product. Their attention to detail and care was outstanding, I could not recommend them more highly.
