Driveway Gates & Electric Gate Automation

Driveway gates provide an attractive and practical way to improve property security, privacy and convenience.

Whether you’re looking to secure a residential driveway, private road, country property or gated development, automated driveway gates can provide controlled access whilst enhancing the appearance of your property.

Based in Bolton, i Security supplies, installs, automates, services and repairs driveway gates throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester, Lancashire and the surrounding areas.

From traditional steel gates through to modern aluminium designs, we can help identify the most appropriate solution for your property and budget.

Why Install Electric Driveway Gates?

Automatic driveway gates provide more than just security. They offer convenience, privacy and improved control over who can access your property.

Many homeowners choose electric gates to provide a welcoming entrance whilst reducing the risk of unauthorised vehicle access.

  • Improved property security
  • Increased privacy
  • Enhanced kerb appeal
  • Convenient remote access
  • Controlled visitor access
  • Potential increase in property value

Driveway Gate Styles

We work with a number of local gate manufacturers, allowing us to offer a wide variety of gate styles, materials and finishes.

  • Traditional Steel Gates
  • Composite Boarded Gates
  • Hardwood Boarded Gates
  • 5 Bar Gates
  • Modern Aluminium Gates
  • Wood Grain Aluminium Gates

Whether you’re looking for a traditional appearance or a contemporary entrance, we can provide gates to suit a wide range of property styles.

Swing Gates

Swing gates remain one of the most popular choices for domestic properties.

Available in a wide variety of styles and finishes, swing gates provide an attractive entrance solution and are particularly well suited to larger driveways.

Our automation systems can be installed using underground or above-ground operators, depending on the gate design, size and weight.

Gates can be mounted to existing brick or stone pillars or supplied with matching support posts where required.

Sliding Gates

Sliding gates are often a practical solution where space is limited or where driveway layouts make swing gates less suitable.

Because the gate slides sideways rather than swinging into the driveway, they can maximise available parking and manoeuvring space.

Sliding gates can be installed as tracked or cantilever systems depending on the site conditions and operational requirements.

Electric Gate Automation

Modern automation systems allow driveway gates to be operated safely and conveniently using a range of access methods.

  • Remote Control Transmitters
  • Video Intercom Systems
  • Smartphone Access
  • GSM Telephone Access
  • Keypads
  • Access Control Fobs
  • Vehicle Detection Loops

We can advise on the most appropriate solution based on the way you use your property and your preferred level of convenience.

Automating Existing Gates

In many cases, existing manual gates can be automated without replacing the gate itself.

Our engineers can assess your current gates and advise whether they are suitable for automation and whether any modifications are required to support safe operation.

This can often provide a cost-effective route to electric gate ownership whilst retaining the appearance of your existing entrance.

Gate Safety

Safety is one of the most important considerations when installing or maintaining an electric gate.

i Security is Gate Safe accredited and takes gate safety extremely seriously.

Every installation begins with a site-specific risk assessment and incorporates safety devices designed to reduce the risks associated with powered gate operation.

Our gate systems are designed, installed and commissioned in accordance with current gate safety requirements and guidance.

Common safety features include:

  • Safety Photocells
  • Monitored Safety Edges
  • Obstacle Detection Systems
  • Warning Devices
  • Emergency Isolation Controls

Force Limitation Testing

Powered gates are safety-critical machines and require appropriate testing and inspection.

Force limitation testing measures the forces generated by a moving gate and helps verify that safety systems continue to operate within the intended parameters.

This testing forms an important part of the commissioning and maintenance process for many automated gate installations.

Electric Gate Servicing & Maintenance

The owner of an automated gate has a responsibility to ensure it remains safe and properly maintained.

Like any powered machine, an electric gate requires regular inspection, adjustment and servicing to ensure continued reliability and safe operation.

Regular maintenance can help identify worn components, safety device faults, motor issues and operational problems before they result in a breakdown.

  • Six-Monthly Preventative Maintenance
  • Safety Device Testing
  • Force Limitation Testing
  • Reactive Repairs
  • Emergency Callouts
