A driveway gate closes the vehicle entrance to your home or site. UK Metal Gates builds each driveway gate to suit your measurements. Choose metal, aluminium or composite, with swing, 3/4 split, sliding, bi-fold, telescopic and corner sliding arrangements. Every gate is British manufactured, and we survey, supply and install across the UK.

Types of driveway gate
Choose by the space you have around the opening. Swing gates need room for the leaves to open, sliding gates need clear boundary beside the opening, and telescopic and bi-fold gates need less.
Double swing driveway gates
Two leaves, each hinged on its own post, open from the middle of the opening. See our metal driveway gates.
3/4 split driveway gates
The two leaves are different widths, so the narrower leaf can be opened without moving the whole gate. Explore metal 3/4 split driveway gates, or choose the composite 3/4 split driveway gates range.
Sliding driveway gates
These gates travel sideways along the boundary instead of swinging. See our sliding gates, aluminium sliding gates and composite sliding gates.
Cantilever sliding gates
A cantilever gate slides sideways without running on a track along the ground.
Corner sliding gates
Where the boundary turns a corner, a corner sliding gate slides around it. Browse metal corner sliding gates; for other materials, choose aluminium corner sliding gates or our composite corner sliding gates range.
Telescopic driveway gates
Nested sections slide over one another, so the gate stacks into less room beside the opening. See our metal telescopic gates, aluminium telescopic gates and composite telescopic gates.
Bi-fold driveway gates
A bi-fold opening folds its gate sections together. See our bi-fold gates, aluminium bi-fold gates and composite bi-fold gates.
Driveway gates by material
Metal driveway gates
Our metal driveway gates range runs across many designs and styles. See our metal driveway gates.
Aluminium driveway gates
Rust-free aluminium is another material choice. See our aluminium driveway gates.
Composite driveway gates
Real wood requires more upkeep than composite driveway gates. See our composite driveway gates, and read how to look after them in our composite gate maintenance guide.
Manual or electric driveway gates
Any driveway gate style can be automated. A remote control and control box accompany the motor and safety sensors in each electric system. Optional upgrades include key card access and a safety edge, plus an intercom with audio or video. Our motor choices are FAAC, Nice, DEA and CAME. We can add motor operation to gates already in place. Read our electric gates cost guide to see what is included.
Made to measure driveway gates
Your measurements determine the gate size, while our range contains over 500 designs. Fabrication is available for lengths reaching 15m and heights reaching 4m. Any RAL colour is available on driveway gates.
Our Barking workshop brings sales, manufacturing, installation and powder-coating together on one site. The business began in 1993.
Shelf stock driveway gates
Shelf stock driveway gates are available alongside made-to-measure gates. You can collect shelf stock the same day, or arrange next-day delivery. Delivery is not included in the price.
Site survey, drawn plan and installation
Before making your driveway gate, we visit the property. We measure and photograph the opening ourselves. A drawn plan is sent to you ahead of manufacture and installation. Nationwide supply, delivery and installation are available across the UK.
Who we have supplied
NHS hospital sites have been supplied, along with GP surgeries and landlord-managed properties.
