Traditionally referred to as wrought iron gates, most modern metal gates are in fact made completely from steel. Steel hinged gates are very traditional and offer you the most iconic designs seen on driveway entrances. Generally specified in a pair and nearly always an open design they do offer the simplest solution to an automatic gate system for your home.
Steel is easy to work into many designs and can be cut, welded and bent into shapes. Properly specified with a good galvanising process before painting or a combination of steel with aluminium, wood or composite material infills to allow us to manufacturer the gates our customers desire.
Electric hinged steel gates tend to be of a higher overall specification than basic manual operated gates and therefore there is more weight and pressures involved on the supporting posts and hardware used. The best installations tend to be using a steel box section support post for the gate leaf and then this post can be either painted or surrounded by brick or stonework. This steel post and steel gate combination ensures longevity and stability through the rigors, stresses, and strains of daily use
