Choosing the Most Suitable Gate Type For Your Home
Planning your driveway entrance involves more than just picking a gate design or material, it’s also important to consider how the gate will open. Swing gates and sliding gates both offer excellent security, style, and ease of use, but the best choice depends on your available space, the layout of your driveway, and what works best for your day-to-day routine. At TWS Automation, we can help you decide on the right option and then handle everything from design and manufacture to professional installation, ensuring a perfect fit for your property.
Swing Gates
Swing gates are a classic and elegant option, ideal for properties with enough space for the gates to open inward or outward. They operate on hinges and are typically available as single or double-leaf gates, depending on the entrance width. Swing gates are easy to automate and work well on level driveways. However, they require adequate clearance, making them less suitable for sloped or compact areas.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are a great space-saving solution, perfect for driveways with limited room for swinging motion. They move horizontally along a track and are ideal for properties on slopes or where space is restricted. Sliding gates provide excellent security and are often preferred for wider entrances. While they require a track installation along the ground, they offer a smooth and efficient operation, especially when automated.

Key Considerations When Choosing An Electric Gate For Your Home
Safety
The most important factor to consider when installing an electric gate is safety. Without the proper safety features, professional installation, and regular maintenance, electric gates can pose a serious risk of injury. Ensuring your gate is installed and serviced by experts is essential for safe and reliable operation.
Layout & Space
When choosing an electric gate, it’s important to think about the layout of your driveway and how much space you have. Swing gates need plenty of room to open fully, whereas sliding or bi-folding gates are great options for tighter spaces or shorter driveways.
