Prevent faults with proactive automated gate maintenance
Automated gates perform best when they’re maintained regularly. At Patron Security Ltd, we recommend yearly servicing for domestic systems and biannual checks for commercial properties. These visits help prevent wear, identify issues early, and ensure your gates operate safely and reliably.
We’ll tailor a gate automation maintenance schedule to suit your setup, usage level, and preferences. With the right care, your system will remain secure and efficient for years to come. Many of the gates we installed back in 2010 are still in excellent working condition, thanks to consistent upkeep.
Access control solutions for automated gates
Controlling who can enter your property is just as important as securing it. That’s why we offer tailored gate access control systems to complement your automated gate setup. From standalone intercoms to integrated smart entry systems, we’ll help you select a solution that meets your specific needs.
Our access control options are ideal for businesses that need to manage the flow of people and vehicles, as well as for homeowners looking for greater day-to-day control. Whether you prefer keypad entry, number plate recognition, or remote gate operation, we’ll design a system that’s secure, easy to use, and built around your property.

Frequently asked questions
Can I automate my existing gates, or do I need new ones?
In many cases, existing gates can be automated without requiring a full replacement. Our team will conduct a site assessment to evaluate the condition, structure, and suitability of your existing gates. If automation is feasible, we’ll recommend the most suitable system to integrate seamlessly with your existing setup.
What are the different ways to control automated gates?
Several access options are available, depending on your specific needs. These include vehicle detection sensors, number plate recognition, keypads, key fobs, smartphone or app-based control, and timed opening schedules. We’ll help you choose the best system for your property.
Are solar-powered gate systems a good alternative to mains electricity?
Yes, solar-powered gate motors are a practical option for properties without easy access to mains electricity. While mains power is typically the most reliable solution, solar-powered systems can provide efficient and sustainable performance in the right conditions.
Do automated gates require regular maintenance?
Yes. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of your gate automation system. We recommend annual servicing for residential gates and twice-yearly checks for commercial setups. Our tailored maintenance plans keep your system performing at its best.
Can gate automation be integrated with home security systems?
We can integrate your automated gates with a wider home security or smart automation system. This allows for centralised control of access, lighting, alarms, and other connected features from a single interface, enhancing both convenience and protection.
How long does it take to install an automated gate system?
The installation timeframe depends on the complexity of the system and whether it’s a new installation or an upgrade to existing gates. On average, new installations take between six and eight weeks to complete. We’ll provide a clear schedule at the start of your project, so you know what to expect.
