Why choose Alpha Gate Automation?

We install only our own made-to-measure sliding gates, built with premium components, assembled here at our factory in Nerang on the Gold Coast.

We know providing a great customer experience should come as standard, so our satisfaction guarantee, expert advice, and reliable support are as much part of the service as your automatic gate will be.

Our automatic sliding gate installations typically start from A$6K, depending on gate size, materials, and on-site requirements, such as pillar construction. We don’t offer DIY kits – every system is professionally designed and made at our factory in Nerang, then installed at your property.

Beyond the convenience of not having to get out of your car in the rain or hot sun, automatic sliding gates offer real security improvements by controlling who access your property, and may also increase its value. We find for most, the peace of mind alone justifies the investment.

No. Automatic sliding gates use minimal power, no more than a few dollars per year in electricity. Modern motors are highly efficient and only draw power when opening or closing. There’s no ongoing “standby” drain. For even lower running costs, solar-powered options are available. Maintenance costs are also low and regular servicing will help keep everything running smoothly.

An automatic sliding gate will typically need about 1.5 times your driveway width along your fence line to slide open. For example, if your driveway opening is 4 metres wide, you’ll need roughly 6 metres of clear fence space to one side for the gate to retract fully. Bi-parting sliding gates may also be an option if space is limited

A professionally installed automatic sliding gate system should last 10-15 years or more. However, in our coastal environment – salt air, humidity and storms can rapidly take their toll, making a professional installation with quality components critical.
