Frequently Asked Questions

What width and height should I order for a driveway gate?

We manufacture each gate to your exact measurements. Before production we discuss your opening size, ground clearance and any falls or slopes on the driveway so the finished gate fits precisely and swings correctly.

Should I choose a single gate or a pair of double gates?

This depends mainly on your opening width and available swing space. Wider driveways usually suit a pair of gates because each leaf is shorter and places less load on the hinge post. A single gate keeps hardware simpler but needs sufficient room to swing through its full arc without obstruction.

How do I know if my existing posts can support steel driveway gates?

Steel driveway gates are heavy, so the posts must be structurally sound, correctly bedded and sized for the leaf weight and width. We can check whether your existing posts are suitable based on their dimensions, material and condition before you order.

Can I specify which side the gate hangs from?

Yes. Our gates can be hung left-hand or right-hand to suit your driveway layout, and for pairs you can choose which leaf opens first if you plan to use a pedestrian latch or automation.

Can steel driveway gates be automated?

Yes. We can supply swing gate motor kits suited to the size and weight of your gates, either at the time of order or retrofitted later. The hinges, leaf weight and post strength all need to be compatible with automation, so tell us at the ordering stage if you plan to automate.

What clearances should I allow between the gate and the ground or posts?

Swing gates need clearance at the bottom for ground movement, gravel or paving, and at the hinge and latch sides to prevent binding. We agree these tolerances with you during the measurement and drawing approval stage so the gate hangs and swings cleanly.

How are the gates hinged and what hinges are used?

Steel driveway gates are fitted with load-rated hinges sized to the weight and width of each leaf. Heavier or wider gates may require adjustable hinges or additional hinge points, which we specify at the design stage.

Do I need a drop bar or latch for a pair of driveway gates?

Most pairs benefit from a drop bar or latch fitted to the secondary leaf to hold it in place, while the primary leaf carries the main lock or latch. We can supply this as part of the gate order or advise on what suits your setup.

Are steel driveway gates suitable for sloping driveways?

Yes, but the slope affects how the gate is hung and the clearance at the opening edge. We need to know the direction and degree of fall so we can set the gate to swing with adequate ground clearance without leaving an excessive gap when closed.
