Electric Gates and Barriers in Southampton, From Our Home Base
Southampton is where Automated Openings is based, and it's where most of our days start. From terraced streets in Shirley and Portswood to riverside homes in Bursledon and Hamble-le-Rice, and the warehouses and yards serving the docks, we design, install, service and repair gates, barriers and access control right across the city.
Driveway gates for city homes
City plots vary hugely. A sliding gate suits a short drive in Bassett or Sholing; a pair of swing gates may suit a larger house in Chilworth or Rownhams. We automate suitable existing gates, or design and manufacture new ones to fit the opening and the house. Add a keypad or a GSM intercom so you can let visitors in from your phone. Every installation is force tested before handover. See our electric gate installation in Southampton page.
Commercial, industrial and port-side sites
Southampton is a working city. Around Millbrook, Redbridge and the routes to the port, businesses rely on entrances that handle lorries, vans and staff all day. Cantilever gates are a strong fit for wide, busy entrances because nothing runs along the ground. We also fit rising arm barriers, bollards and access control for car parks and yards. See commercial and industrial gates and barriers and bollards.
Flats and shared car parks
In Ocean Village, Woolston and across the city's apartment blocks, barriers and gated car parks keep spaces for residents. A maintenance contract keeps shared equipment checked on a schedule, with paperwork for managing agents.
Repairs and servicing
We repair automated gates and barriers whoever installed them – see gate repairs. Repairs are quoted after an on-site assessment, and 24-hour call-outs are available. We recommend servicing at least every six months, with force testing and a written report and paperwork every time. See our automatic gate repair in Southampton page.
Safety checks
Our gate health check includes force testing and a check of the safety devices, followed by a written report. We're a Gate Safe Aware Installer and working towards Constructionline Gold – see our accreditations.
