Automatic driveway gates planned for reliable daily use
Sliding and swing gate automation with matched motors, safety devices, remotes, keypads, intercoms and smart-access options.
Gate first, motor second
A motor cannot fix a gate that does not move properly.
Reliable automation begins with a straight, supported and freely moving gate. RJL considers the gate weight, balance, travel, wind exposure, duty cycle, driveway movement, power and household access before selecting equipment.
- Automatic sliding gates and double or single swing gates
- CAME or Beninca equipment selected to suit the gate and duty
- Photocell beams and other site-appropriate safety devices
- Remote controls, keypads, intercoms and smartphone access options
- Manual release and available battery-backup options
- Assessment of existing gates before retrofitting automation
Residential access options
Control the gate in the way the household actually needs.
PIN keypads
Keyless entry for family, trades or regular visitors, subject to the access system selected for the site.
Intercoms
See or speak with visitors and release the driveway or pedestrian gate from the home or a connected device.
Smartphone access
Compatible app or cloud-connected control options can support remote operation and managed household access.
Safety devices
Photocells, obstacle detection and control settings are planned around gate movement and site risks.
Manual release
A practical release method allows the gate to be moved during a power failure or service event.
New gate package
Need the gate and automation together?
RJL can design the opening, posts, gate frame, track or hinges, stops and automation as one package. This avoids asking a motor to compensate for structural or movement problems.
Gate automation FAQ
Questions homeowners ask before motorising a gate.
Can RJL automate an existing driveway gate?
Sometimes. RJL first checks the gate condition, alignment, balance, posts, hinges or track, stops, travel, power and required safety devices. A weak or poorly moving gate should be corrected before a motor is fitted.
What access controls can be added to an automatic gate?
Depending on the system, options can include remotes, PIN keypads, intercoms, smartphone access, timed access and other controls suited to the household.
What happens if the power fails?
Automatic gate systems should include an accessible manual-release process. Battery-backup options may also be available for suitable motors and usage requirements.
What safety devices can an automatic driveway gate use?
The design may use photocell safety beams, obstacle detection, suitable stops, warning devices and control logic. The required arrangement depends on the gate and site risk assessment.
