Automatic Electric Gate Openers

Whether you’re looking for a reliable electric gate opener for your driveway or a heavy-duty commercial solution, we have the perfect automation system for your needs.
 
Modern electric gate openers use reliable motors (either 240V mains or low-voltage solar-powered) connected to a control board that responds to remotes, keypads, or smartphone apps. Whether you need a swing gate opener for a standard driveway or a heavy-duty sliding gate opener for wider entrances, the system can be customised to your gate’s size, weight, and usage frequency.

Why Automate Your Entrances

There are just so many benefits to automatic electric gates—everyone who owns a home with a driveway should strongly consider installing a set. You can improve your home security, your family’s safety, make life easier and add to the value of your home at the same time.

1. Security: The Number One Benefit

A good set of electric gates completes your security perimeter and can be a significant deterrent to the opportunist burglar, car thief or vandal.

Electric gates also keep out other unwanted callers and door-to-door salespeople and allow you to decide who enters your property. They also keep out wild animals and prevent them damaging your garden.

2. Comfort and Convenience

Comfort and convenience is also a major benefit. It is simple to open your electric gate using a remote control without having to leave your car. Ordinary gates are often left open because it is just too much hassle to manually open and close them every time you pass through your drive, especially if the gate is large and heavy.

3. Safety

Providing safety for children and pets is very important. Children can be kept safely on the premises with electric gates. And the gates can be set to close automatically after they have been used—so you don’t need to worry that you have left them open and allowed your children or pets to wander out.

4. Lower Insurance Rates

You may be able to benefit from a lower insurance rate. Some insurers offer a discount for enhanced perimeter protection.

How to Choose the Right Electric Gate Opener for Your Property

Choosing the best electric gate opener depends on several factors: the type and weight of your gate, how often it will be used, your power source preference (mains, solar, or battery backup), and the level of automation you want (basic remote vs. smart home integration).
Our team at Brisbane Automatic Gate Systems assesses your site to recommend the most suitable and cost-effective solution.

Gate Opener Mantenance

Once installed, quality electric gate openers require minimal upkeep. We recommend a professional service every 3-12 months to check hinges, tracks, sensors, and battery condition. Regular cleaning of tracks (for sliding gates) and ensuring no obstructions helps prevent common issues and keeps your system running smoothly for many years.

Gate Opener Cost Benefits

While the upfront cost of an electric gate opener system varies depending on the type and features, most homeowners find it pays for itself through improved security, convenience, and potential insurance discounts.
