    Questions

    About the gate gap planner

    Do you build to the opening?

    We measure the real opening and plan the gate and the posts around it.

    Why does a slope matter?

    A swing gate can drag on a slope, so sliding or cantilever designs are often a better fit.

    What if I want a keypad?

    Keypads and access controls go with automatic operators, and we plan them together.
