Automatic Gates in Hertfordshire

Electric gates and controlled entrances, designed, supplied and installed for schools, commercial premises and public sector sites throughout Hertfordshire.

From cantilever gates for busy vehicle entrances to mesh pedestrian gates with Paxton access control, Wild Edge builds secure entrance solutions around your site.

Automatic Gate Systems Designed Around Your Property

Every site has different access requirements. A school entrance may require controlled pedestrian access for staff and pupils, while a commercial site may need an automated vehicle gate designed for frequent daily use.

Wild Edge designs, manufactures and installs automated gates around your entrance layout, traffic flow, fencing system and security requirements. As experienced automatic gate installers, we manage each project from initial assessment through to installation and commissioning.

Our complete electric gate installation service can include automated gates, perimeter fencing, Paxton access control systems, electronic locking, safety equipment and system commissioning.

Which Automatic Gate System Is Right for Your Property?

The right system depends on the space available, the type of access needed, how often the entrance is used and the level of security required. We provide cantilever, sliding and swing gate solutions for pedestrian entrances, vehicle access and complete school or commercial perimeters.

Automated Cantilever Gates

Cantilever gates slide open without needing a ground track across the entrance. That makes them a strong choice for busy vehicle access points, or anywhere the ground surface needs to stay clear.

Ideal for:

Automated Mesh Gates

Mesh gates integrate with modern mesh fencing to create secure, highly visible entrances. They’re our preferred solution for many schools, and can be supplied for pedestrian or vehicle access.

Available as:

Automated Swing Gates

Automatic swing gates provide a practical solution where there is sufficient space for the gates to open inward or outward. Available as single or double-leaf systems, they offer secure, controlled access for commercial premises, schools and selected residential properties.

Suitable for:

Commercial Automatic Gates

For sites with frequent vehicle or pedestrian traffic throughout the working day, we design commercial gate systems around the site’s layout, traffic flow and operational requirements.

Commonly installed for:

Automated Vehicle Gates

Vehicle gates give you controlled access while improving both security and day-to-day convenience. Systems can be tailored to busy commercial entrances, shared developments, or electric driveway gates for residential properties.

Suitable for:

Bespoke Automated Gates

Where a standard system won’t fit the site, we design and manufacture bespoke gates tailored to the entrance’s dimensions, access needs, surrounding fencing and preferred design.

Ideal for:

Electric Gate Repair

Faults can develop through general wear, damaged components or problems with the gate motor, electronic locking or control system. Our team can inspect the existing installation and recommend the most appropriate repair or replacement.

FAQs

What is the difference between automatic and electric gates?

The terms automatic gates and electric gates are often used interchangeably, as both describe gates powered by an electric motor that open and close automatically. The right system for your property will depend on factors such as the entrance layout, available space, frequency of use and security requirements. Wild Edge can recommend the most suitable solution during your free site survey.

Should I choose sliding gates or cantilever gates?

Cantilever gates are a type of sliding gate that operates without a ground track across the entrance. They’re particularly useful where the access route needs to stay clear, or where ground conditions make a tracked system impractical.

Can you connect new gates to our existing Paxton system?

Yes. Wild Edge can extend an existing Paxton or Paxton Net2 system to include new automated gates, pedestrian entrances, magnetic locks and controlled access points.

Do you install automatic gates for schools?

Yes. We install automated mesh gates, single pedestrian gates and double-leaf vehicle gates for schools, with optional Paxton access control, fob entry and magnetic locking.

Can you automate my existing gates?

In some cases, yes. The existing gates, posts, hinges and entrance layout must be structurally suitable for automation. We will assess the installation before recommending conversion or a replacement automatic gate system.
