Expert Swing Gate Installation
At TWS Automation, we take care of the entire swing gate installation process from start to finish. Our experienced engineers begin with a site survey to assess your driveway layout and recommend the best configuration, whether that’s a single or double-leaf swing gate, depending on your available width and clearance. We carry out all necessary preparation, including setting posts, fitting robust hinges, and ensuring your gates have enough space to swing open safely and smoothly.

What Our Clients Say
Residential Swing Gate FAQs
Swing gates work best on driveways with enough room to open inward or outward. If space is tight or there’s a steep slope, a sliding gate may be more suitable — but we’ll assess this during your site survey.
Yes. We can automate most new or existing swing gates with above-ground or underground motors. You’ll be able to open your gate using a remote control, keypad, or even your smartphone.
Absolutely. A well-installed swing gate acts as a strong physical barrier and can be paired with intercoms, access control, and safety sensors for added peace of mind.
Most residential swing gate installations take 1–3 days depending on the groundwork, wiring, and gate type. We’ll give you a clear timescale after your free site survey.
