Design, Manufacture and Installation of High Quality Gates
At Clever Gates we are passionate about our products and with over 30 years experience our gates are designed, manufactured and installed by skilled craftsmen.
Clever Gates are proud to be able to offer gates which have been manufactured by the UK’s premier gate manufacturer. The reason for this is quite simple. The quality, style and durability are second to none.
All our gates are hot dipped galvanised to BS 1461 as standard which guarantees 25 years free of corrosion. They are then electro-statically coated with a high build vinyl paint which out performs all other paint systems. An optional patina of gold or silver can be then applied to customer’s preferences. The process ensures that your gates will look amazing for years.
We are able to offer the best advice on all automation and access control products. Our work in specifying and fitting the products ensures that the advice is based on practical experience which is essential. Every installation come with a 2 year guarantee covering parts and labour giving you peace of mind.
Sliding Gates
The sliding gate system is ideal where there is limited opening space behind the gate. Sufficient area behind the front wall is required for the gate to slide into when opened. These gates also provide very high levels of security. Opening / closing power is supplied by a waterproof motor unit. Manual override in case of power failure is a standard feature.
The sliding gate has a specially manufactured track which is laid across the entire length of the drive entry, there are a number of sets of wheels fitted to the bottom of the gate according to the length and weight of the gate allowing it to move smoothly across the track. These gate units can span very large driveway openings.
This style is ideal for new build but can also be retro fitted to existing gate ways.
Swing Gates
Swing gates are most the traditional method of opening gates; they can be hung from brick pillars or steel/timber posts. A gate leaf can usually open between 90/120 degrees. Most driveways usually have two matching gates which open from the centre, but smaller openings can work using a single gate unit.
Swing gates are used where the entrance and the drive is virtually level
The gates can be operated by a power unit set into the ground by the post. This also acts as one of the gate hinge pivots. Alternatively, hydraulic or powered actuator arms are used in conjunction with two gate hinges. Manual override in case of power failure is standard.
Bi-fold and uneven gate leaves can be supplied.
Cantilever Gates
With the Cantilever Slide gate system there is no requirement for a ground track. This can be advantageous where the driveway slopes, the ground is uneven or there is heavy traffic use. This system also cause minimal disturbance to the existing driveway surface when installed.
The cantilever sliding gate has an special section rail fitted to the bottom of the gate which incorporates two sets of rollers set a part a pre –determined distance cast into a large concrete foundation base, these gates are approximately 1/3 longer than a standard track sliding gate, the extra length acting as the counterbalance so the gate can slide back and forth freely.
Opening / closing power is supplied by a waterproof motor unit and a manual override in case of power failure is a standard feature.
