Automatic Gate Systems – Product Overview

Bright Balustrading supplies and installs a robust range of automated gate systems designed to provide secure, convenient, and stylish entry solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Built from high-grade aluminium or steel and finished in architectural-grade powder coat, our automatic driveway gates integrate seamlessly with fencing and balustrade systems while ensuring effortless daily use.

Whether sliding or swinging, our gates are equipped with high-performance automation systems that offer smooth, quiet, and reliable operation — controlled via remote access, keypad entry, intercom systems, or smart home integration.

Automated Gate Types Offered

• Automated Driveway Gates – Sliding
  A space-efficient and secure solution for vehicle access. Sliding gates are ideal for properties with limited swing clearance or sloped driveways. Options include:
  • Bottom-track sliding gates
  • Cantilevered trackless sliding systems
  • Motorised operation via gear racks and control units
    Gates can be customised with slatted, louvre, or solid infill panels to match architectural fencing or screens.
• Automated Driveway Gates – Swinging
  A traditional and elegant solution suited to larger entryways or where lateral space is limited. These gates are typically:
  • Single or dual-leaf swing configurations
  • Operated by underground or above-ground actuators
  • Fitted with programmable opening speeds, obstacle detection, and hold-open options

All automation systems include safety features such as auto-stop on resistance, photoelectric sensors, and manual override in case of power failure. Systems are available for both residential light-duty and commercial heavy-duty applications.
