Swing Gate Conversion to Automated Sliding Gate at Housing Development

These Luxurious Apartments needed to optimize space and improve access control by converting existing swing gates into sliding gates.

The client wanted to retain the original gate design while upgrading automation, safety, and integrating with their existing GSM intercom system.

The challenge

  • Convert traditional swing gates to sliding gates without replacing the original gate panels
  • Build a custom steel frame to enable smooth and secure sliding operation
  • Install a reliable, quiet brushless sliding gate motor
  • Upgrade all safety features to meet Gate Safe standards for residential safety compliance
  • Integrate automation with the previously installed multi-button GSM intercom system for convenient remote access
  • Installation

    Our experienced team dismantled the original swing gate hardware and installed the custom steel frame on site. The sliding gate motor and safety components were installed and meticulously tested.

    Full system integration with the GSM intercom was completed, including programming and resident training to ensure smooth daily operation and ease of use.

    THE SOLUTION

    Secure21 designed and fabricated a bespoke steel frame to hold the existing swing gate panels, allowing them to slide efficiently and safely along the driveway within the housing development.

    We installed advanced brushless sliding gate motors to ensure quiet, maintenance free operation. Comprehensive safety upgrades including photocells and safety edges were added to meet the stringent Gate Safe certification requirements.

    The upgraded sliding gate system was fully integrated with the housing development’s existing multi-button GSM intercom, providing residents with secure, mobile access control.
