About swing gates

Swing gates are hinged leaves, single or double, that open like a door. They are automated with ram (linear) operators, articulated arm operators for deep pillars, or underground motors hidden beneath the hinge.

Swing gates are the most common automated gates on houses, farms, small business premises and residential developments with a level drive and space for the leaves to open.

Local considerations in Thornton, Bradford

In England, powered gates and barriers are machinery: they must be installed and maintained so they are safe in use (BS EN 12453 force limits, photocells and safety edges) under health and safety law, and any gate onto a road must not open over the highway.

At roughly 287 m above sea level, Thornton sees more wind, driving rain and frost than lowland areas, so we pay attention to weather sealing, cable entries and, for vents, rain and wind sensors.

Around Thornton we often work on smaller blocks, rural businesses, farms and private homes, where power supply and cable runs can be longer, so we check these at survey.

We measure the pillar depth (the 'A' and 'B' dimensions), check the hinges and the gate's condition, plan the opening direction and confirm power and control cabling. Gate stops, an electric lock and safety devices are specified to suit.

Maintenance of swing gates in Thornton

Planned maintenance keeps swing gates safe and reliable and gives you records for insurers and inspections. We service CAME and all other makes: we check fixings, wear, power and battery backup, controls and safety devices, adjust and lubricate where needed, test operation end to end and leave a written report with any recommended actions.
