Gate Automation Services Perth installs and services automation systems for homes, businesses, and rural properties across Perth WA, using genuine Centsys, FAAC, and NICE automation components backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Perth’s Mediterranean climate with intense UV exposure, summer heat, and salt air, particularly in coastal suburbs, puts real strain on gate components over time. We service and repair all major gate motor brands used across WA, including Centurion (Centsys) D5 and D10 systems, FAAC hydraulic and electromechanical operators, and Nice and CAME residential units, using brand-specific diagnostic tools to read fault codes rather than guessing. For strata and commercial sites, we also work with loop detectors, keypad and intercom access panels, and photocell/safety-beam realignment to keep shared driveway gates compliant and reliable for multiple users.
Brands we service: Centurion (Centsys), FAAC, NICE, CAME.

Services
Types of Automated Gates Available
01 / Swing Gates
Swing Gates: Classic Elegance and Security
Swing gates open inward or outward on hinges, making them a practical choice for driveways with enough clearance space. They suit a wide range of property styles and are one of the most commonly installed gate types across Perth’s suburban areas.
Key considerations for swing gates:
Single leaf: suits narrower driveways up to around 3–4 metres
Dual leaf: suits wider openings, typically 4–8 metres
Inward or outward swing: determined by your driveway slope and available space
Materials include aluminium, steel, and timber-look options
We fit swing gates with FAAC and NICE actuator systems, which are reliable, low-maintenance, and suited to Perth’s climate. Upfront fixed pricing means you’ll know the full cost before we start.
02 / Sliding Gates
Sliding Gates: Space-Saving Efficiency
Sliding gates run along a track parallel to your fence line, making them the right choice when there’s limited space for a gate to swing open. They’re popular on sloped driveways and commercial sites where clearance is restricted.
Sliding gates are generally more robust under heavy daily use, which is why they’re a common choice for commercial properties in the Perth metro area. We use Centsys drive systems for sliding gates, which are built for high-cycle performance.
03 / Solar Gates
Solar Gates: Energy-Efficient and Eco-Friendly
Solar-powered gate automation is a practical option for Perth properties, particularly where running mains power to the gate would be costly or disruptive. Perth averages around 8 hours of sunshine per day, making solar a reliable power source year-round.
Solar gate systems typically include:
Solar panel: sized to match the gate’s power draw
Battery backup: maintains operation during overcast periods
Compatible automation: FAAC and NICE both offer solar-ready systems
Solar gates work with both swing and sliding configurations. They suit rural properties, large blocks, and any site where trenching for cable isn’t feasible. Installation costs are offset over time by the absence of ongoing power draw.
We have been working in gate automation across Perth for over 20 years. That means we have seen and solved virtually every issue that arises with residential and commercial automated entry systems.

Convenience and Accessibility

Questions
Common questions
Can’t see your question? Call and talk it through, or send a quote request.
How much does automatic gate installation cost in Perth?
The cost depends on the gate type, size, motor, electrical requirements and access control system. A new automatic driveway gate will generally cost more than adding automation to a suitable existing gate.
Can you automate my existing driveway gate?
Yes, many existing sliding and swing gates can be converted to automatic operation. We first check the gate’s condition, alignment, weight and movement to determine the correct gate motor and automation system.
Which is better: an automatic sliding gate or swing gate?
Sliding gates are ideal where driveway space is limited or the driveway slopes, while swing gates suit properties with sufficient opening space. The best option depends on your driveway layout, available space and security requirements.
What happens to my automatic gate during a power outage?
Most electric gate motors have a manual release mechanism, allowing the gate to be opened manually during a power failure. Battery backup systems can also be installed on compatible gate automation systems.
Are automatic driveway gates safe?
Yes, when correctly designed and installed with appropriate safety equipment. Depending on the installation, automated gates can incorporate photocells, safety sensors, obstacle detection and automatic stopping or reversing systems.
What type of gate motor do I need?
The correct motor depends on whether you have a sliding or swing gate, along with the gate’s weight, length, frequency of use and site conditions. Commercial and high-traffic gates generally require heavier-duty automation equipment.
What types of automated gates are best suited to Perth’s coastal conditions, including salt air and high summer heat?
For properties near the coast, particularly in suburbs like Cottesloe, Scarborough, and Fremantle, salt air accelerates corrosion on standard mild steel components. We recommend marine-grade aluminium or powder-coated stainless steel hardware paired with sealed motor housings rated for coastal exposure.
Which safety features and compliance checks should be included with an automatic gate installation in Western Australia?
In Western Australia, automated gates must comply with AS 5007:2007 (for pedestrian-accessible gates) and the broader requirements under AS/NZS 60335 for electrical safety. Non-compliance can affect your home insurance and create serious liability risks.
How long does a typical residential or commercial gate automation installation take, and what factors affect the timeline?
A standard residential single gate automation, such as fitting a motor to an existing swing or sliding gate, typically takes 3 to 5 hours. Double gate systems or new gate-plus-automation packages generally take a full day. Commercial installations involving boom gates, access control integration, or multiple entry points can take one to three days depending on site complexity. Factors that extend timelines include concrete curing for gate posts, trenching for underground cable runs, and integrating third-party intercom or CCTV systems.
Can automatic gates be opened with a phone or intercom?
Yes. Modern gate automation can integrate with remote controls, keypads, smartphone access, video intercoms, key fobs and access control systems, giving you greater control over who enters your property.
Do automatic gates require regular servicing?
Yes. Preventative maintenance helps keep the gate motor, rollers, hinges, tracks, sensors and electrical components operating correctly. Regular servicing can also identify wear before it develops into a more expensive gate repair.
Do you install automatic gates for both homes and businesses?
Yes. Gate automation systems can be installed for residential driveways, apartment complexes, strata properties, warehouses, commercial premises and industrial facilities. Each system should be designed around the property’s security needs and expected traffic levels.
