Residential Automatic Gates

Residential automatic gates can provide greater control over who enters your property while making everyday access more convenient.

An automatic driveway gate can be operated without leaving your vehicle and may be configured using remote controls, keypads, mobile access, intercoms or proximity tags. The system can also help keep children and pets safely within the property when correctly designed and operated.

  • Improve property security
  • Control visitor access
  • Increase privacy
  • Open the gate remotely from your vehicle
  • Provide safer access at night or during poor weather
  • Help keep children and pets within the property
  • Integrate the gate with an intercom or video intercom
  • Operate the gate and garage door from a compatible remote

We can assess your driveway and available space to determine whether an automatic sliding gate or swing gate is the most practical option.

Commercial and Industrial Automatic Gates

Commercial gates help businesses control vehicle, staff, contractor and visitor access while improving perimeter security.

B&K Security Solutions supplies and installs commercial and industrial automatic gate systems for properties including:

  • Apartment complexes
  • Body corporate properties
  • Warehouses
  • Workshops
  • Storage facilities
  • Schools and childcare centres
  • Commercial offices
  • Industrial compounds
  • Rural properties
  • Car parks
  • Gated communities

Commercial automatic gates can be combined with access cards, proximity tags, PIN codes, vehicle detection, gatehouse controls or scheduled access. Individual access permissions can be assigned to different users and removed or updated when a remote, card or tag is lost.


Types of Automatic Gates

The right gate system depends on the layout of your property, the available opening space, traffic flow and the expected frequency of use.

Sliding Gates

Automatic Sliding Gates

Automatic sliding gates are a popular choice for residential driveways, commercial entrances and properties where there may not be sufficient room for a gate to swing inward or outward.

An electric sliding gate moves sideways along the property boundary, helping to maximise usable driveway space. Depending on the property, the system may use a tracked sliding gate or another suitable configuration.

Sliding gate automation may be suitable for:

  • Residential driveways
  • Narrow or restricted entrances
  • Commercial properties
  • Warehouses and industrial sites
  • High-use vehicle entry points
  • Sloping properties where swing gates may not be practical

The correct gate motor is selected according to factors such as the size and weight of the gate, the frequency of use and whether the system is intended for residential or heavy-duty commercial operation.

Swing Gates

Automatic Swing Gates

Automatic swing gates can be installed as either a single gate or a pair of double gates. They are often suited to properties with enough clear space for the gates to open safely.

Swing gate automation can be used for residential, commercial and rural properties and may be configured with remote controls, keypads, intercoms, mobile access or other entry systems.

Before recommending a swing gate system, we assess:

  • The available opening space
  • The direction in which the gate can safely open
  • The driveway gradient
  • The gate size and weight
  • Vehicle and pedestrian movement
  • Power and cabling requirements
  • The expected frequency of use

This assessment helps determine whether a swing gate or sliding gate is the better choice for the property.

Automatic Gate Motors and Centsys Automation

B&K Security Solutions supplies and installs Centsys gate automation products for residential and heavy-duty commercial applications.

Gate motors are selected according to the type of gate, its weight, the amount of daily use and the conditions in which the system will operate. We can also replace failed or outdated gate motors on suitable existing systems.

The gate automation products we install are selected for reliable operation in Townsville’s heat, rain and demanding weather conditions.

Available Features

  • Residential and commercial gate motors
  • Battery backup
  • Manual release during power failure
  • Solar-powered gate automation
  • Remote control access
  • Mobile phone or app control
  • Safety sensors and obstacle detection
  • Vehicle detection
  • Access control integration

Remote Controls, Keypads and Access Control Gates

An automatic gate can be configured with several access methods depending on who needs to enter the property and how access should be managed.

  • Handheld remote controls
  • Keypad and PIN access
  • Swipe cards
  • Proximity tags and fobs
  • Key switches
  • Intercom access
  • Video intercom access
  • Mobile phone and app control
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi access
  • Gatehouse controls
  • Scheduled access
  • Vehicle detection systems

Separate cards, tags or PIN codes can be provided to residents, staff, contractors or other authorised users. Access can then be changed or cancelled if a card, remote or tag is lost.

Where compatible, it may also be possible to program one remote to operate both the automatic gate and garage door.

Integrated Gate Security Systems

One of the key advantages of choosing B&K Security Solutions is the ability to connect your electric gate with other security and access-control systems.

  • Access control systems
  • CCTV security cameras
  • Alarm systems
  • Audio intercoms
  • Video intercoms
  • Mobile access systems
  • Gatehouse controls
  • Vehicle detection

This creates a coordinated entry system rather than treating the gate as a standalone installation.

For example, a visitor may contact the property through a video intercom, allowing the resident or staff member to see who is at the gate before remotely granting access.

Automatic Gate Safety Features

Automatic gates contain moving components and must be designed with the property, traffic levels and users in mind.

Residential, commercial and high-traffic properties may have different safety requirements. These are considered during the site inspection and system design process.

The gate is tested before handover to ensure that its controls and installed safety features are operating correctly.

Available Safety Equipment

  • Safety beams
  • Obstacle detection
  • Warning lights
  • Audible warnings
  • Emergency stop controls
  • Vehicle detection loops
  • Manual release systems

Automatic Gate Servicing and Maintenance

Regular servicing helps identify wear, adjustment issues, battery problems and developing faults before they cause the gate to stop working.

B&K recommends that automatic gates receive a professional service approximately once a year. Customers can receive yearly service email reminders to help keep their system maintained.

An automatic gate service may include checking:

  • Gate movement and alignment
  • Motor operation
  • Remote controls
  • Access devices
  • Safety beams and sensors
  • Batteries and power supply
  • Manual release operation
  • Warning devices
  • General system condition

Ongoing support is also available following installation.
