Can anyone recommend electric gates?

[ApplesTheHare]

Hi

I'm looking to fit electric gates to the end of our driveway and was just wondering if anyone can recommend a company and/or share how much they paid for electric gates recently?

We're in Yorkshire if it helps. Tia!

For a 5 bar soft wooden with underground cabling and fobs as well as a button by the front door we were quoted £3,000 by the most highly regarded company local to me in the Home Counties.

We were quoted 16,000 - I nearly fainted!! In surrey.

May was that in £s????

Hi,

Firstly need to decide if you would like above or below ground electrics. We are also north and have a large 5 bar gate with above ground electrics. We purchased a "kit" for the height and weight of the gate, plus the sensors and keyfobs. We also have a keypad code entry system for visitors without keyfobs. Electrician then fitted the armoured wiring to the gate and attached all the fixings onto the gate. Excluding the gate itself, if I remember the total cost was no more than £500 (about 5 years ago).

Ah thanks Schloss It sounds like you fitted a kit to your existing gate, is that right? We're actually not even looking for new gates as ours are fine, but I didn't realise you could make existing gates electric.

You can make existing gates electric as long as the gates are sturdy/strong enougj
