Commercial Electric Gates Durham & North East
Commercial Electric Gates
TWS Automation supplies, installs, repairs and services commercial electric gates across Durham and the North East. From business premises and industrial sites to schools, car parks and managed developments, we provide automated gate systems designed around the way each entrance is used.
Every commercial site is different. Some need to manage a high number of vehicle movements throughout the day, while others need tighter control over who can enter the premises. We can combine electric gates with intercoms, access control, CCTV and other entrance systems to provide a practical way to manage access to your site.
Whether you need a completely new commercial gate system or need help with a repair, our team can help.
Commercial Electric Gate Installation Durham & North East
A commercial electric gate needs to do much more than open and close. The size of the entrance, type and frequency of traffic, available space, security requirements and method of access all need to be considered before deciding on the right system.
TWS Automation can take care of the complete installation, from selecting the appropriate gate automation through to safety devices and access control.
We install commercial electric gates for a wide range of premises across the North East.
Factories & Industrial Sites
Commercial electric gates for factory and industrial entrances, helping to control access for employees, contractors, deliveries and vehicles moving in and out of the site.
Warehouses & Distribution Centres
Automated gate systems for warehouses and distribution sites where regular staff access, deliveries and commercial vehicle movements need to be managed effectively.
Schools & Education
Electric gates for schools and educational sites, helping to manage vehicle access for staff, visitors and contractors, with options for intercoms and access control.

Offices & Business Premises
Automated gate systems for offices and business premises, with access options including intercoms, keypads, fobs and other access control systems.
Access Control for Commercial Electric Gates
The electric gate itself is only one part of a commercial entrance.
TWS Automation can integrate gate automation with a range of access control systems, allowing you to decide how staff, visitors, contractors and vehicles enter your premises.
Depending on your site, options can include:
- GSM intercoms
- Video intercoms
- Keypads
- Fobs and proximity readers
- ANPR
- Paxton access control
- Remote gate opening
- Timed access
- CCTV integration
Different methods can also be combined. For example, staff could use fobs while visitors contact reception through an intercom.
This means the system can be designed around how your business actually operates rather than forcing everyone to use the same method of entry.
Commercial Gate Repairs
A faulty gate at a commercial property can quickly become more than an inconvenience. A gate stuck closed can disrupt staff and deliveries, while a gate that won’t close can leave a site unsecured.

We can diagnose and repair a wide range of problems, including:
- Gates not opening or closing
- Gate motor faults
- Control panel and control board problems

- Swing gate automation faults
- Intercom problems
- Keypad and access control faults
- Remote and fob problems
- Power supply faults

Our vans carry a range of commonly required spare parts, helping our engineers complete many repairs without unnecessary delays where the required part is available.
Find the Right Commercial Electric Gate for Your Business
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are ideal for commercial properties if space is limited or the roadway behind the gate is steep. They are also perfect for warehouses, factories, retail parks, and high-traffic areas where controlled access is essential.
Cantilever Sliding Gates
A cantilever sliding gate is perfect for uneven ground, busy entrances, or locations where minimal disturbance to the road surface is required. They are durable, low-maintenance, and designed for high-security commercial applications.
Swing Security Gates
Swing gates offer a professional look, making them a great fit for business premises, office parks, and gated commercial properties.
Telescopic Sliding Security Gates
Telescopic sliding gates are ideal for commercial & industrial premises where space is limited and a sliding gate is needed
Commercial Gate Safety
Automated gates are machines, and safety needs to be considered throughout their installation, use and maintenance.
This is particularly important at commercial sites where gates may be used by employees, visitors, delivery drivers, contractors and members of the public.
The safety measures required will depend on the individual gate and its risk assessment. These can include equipment such as photocells and safety edges, alongside other measures appropriate to the system and site.
TWS Automation is Gate Safe Registered, and safety is considered as part of the commercial gate systems we install, service and repair.
Commercial Electric Gate Servicing & Maintenance
Commercial gates can experience considerably more use than gates at a residential property. Regular servicing helps identify wear, developing faults and problems with the automation before they result in an unexpected breakdown.
During servicing, the system can be checked for issues affecting its operation, including the gate movement, automation equipment and relevant safety devices.
For businesses with frequently used entrances, planned maintenance can also make it easier to keep on top of servicing rather than waiting until something stops working.
TWS Automation services commercial electric gates across the North East, including systems installed by other companies.
