Round the Corner Electric Gates – A Patented Space-Saving Solution
Premier Gate Automation is the UK pioneer of round the corner electric gates, a patented system developed in-house to address restricted and irregular driveway layouts.
Designed for properties where conventional swing or sliding gates are not practical, our exclusive round the corner system delivers full opening width, discreet automation and uncompromised security. Each installation is designed, manufactured and supported in the UK, providing a refined, technically assured solution for high-end residential and architect-led projects.
We work with proven automation manufacturers recognised for engineering quality, service life and discreet integration, ensuring every system performs reliably in daily use.
All systems are installed, tested and documented in line with current UK powered gate safety guidance.
The Original Patented Round the Corner Gate System℗
The Premier Gate Automation round the corner system is a patented design, exclusive to us.
Unlike traditional sliding gates that require a long straight runback, this system uses a curved track and sectional gate configuration that follows the boundary line. This allows the gate to open fully while occupying minimal driveway depth or side space.
The result is a practical, elegant solution for:
- Mews houses and urban driveways
- Courtyard and heritage properties
- Architect-designed homes with restricted access
- Curved or irregular boundary lines
The system maximises usable space without compromising appearance, privacy or security.
How Round the Corner Gates Work
Each system uses a precision-engineered curved track and linked gate sections that glide smoothly along a boundary wall or fence line.
The gate opens in a controlled, fluid motion, guided through the curve to achieve a full clear opening. Movement is quiet, balanced and consistent, even in confined environments.
Because the system does not swing or require straight runback, it is ideally suited to sites where space is limited but a secure, automated entrance is still required.
Design, Materials and Manufacture
Every round the corner gate system is designed, fabricated and tested in our UK workshop.
Gate panels, track geometry and automation are individually configured to suit each property’s layout and architectural style.
Available materials include:
- Steel – strong, secure and suitable for high-use or perimeter applications
- Timber – warm and natural, ideal for period, listed or traditional properties
All gates are powder-coated or finished to specification. Matching railings, posts and pedestrian gates can also be fabricated to create a cohesive entrance design.
Automation and Smart Integration
Round the corner gates are fully compatible with modern automation and access control systems.
Each installation includes carefully specified automation equipment selected for smooth operation, reliability and low noise.
Automation and control options include:
- Remote controls, keypads and GSM access
- Integration with audio and video intercom systems
- CCTV and security system integration
- Smart home and app-based control
- Timed closing and monitored safety functions
Automation is discreetly integrated and fully tested as part of the commissioning process.
Case Study: Central London Residential Project
At a prime residential property in Central London, Premier Gate Automation installed a fully automated round the corner gate as part of a complete entrance refurbishment.
The driveway offered no space for a traditional swing or sliding gate.
The patented system provided:
- Full opening width and unrestricted access
- Secure perimeter protection
- Quiet, smooth and reliable automated operation
