Full compliance documentation was provided, and a planned maintenance contract is in place to ensure continued safe operation and long-term system performance.
Why This System Was Specified
Sliding gate automation was selected to maximise driveway space, provide smooth controlled movement and integrate discreetly with the property frontage. High-duty automation and safety systems were specified to support frequent daily use while maintaining compliance with recognised UK safety guidance.
HomeLink integration was included to provide a refined user experience, allowing residents to operate the gate directly from their vehicles without additional remote controls.
