Sliding Gate Retrofit
Electric motor conversion for existing manual sliding gates without frame replacement
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Narrow driveways and short forecourts make swing gates impossible. Sliding gates run parallel to the boundary, saving space and delivering smooth automation without clearance issues.
Compact properties lack the clearance for swing gates to open fully without blocking pavement or hitting walls
Leaves, gravel, and snow accumulate in ground-level tracks, jamming manual sliding gates mid-operation
Manual sliding gates sit unused because you don't know if retrofit motors will fit or work reliably
Gates run alongside the boundary instead of swinging inward, eliminating the need for arc clearance space
Protective covers prevent leaves and gravel entering the track channel, maintaining smooth operation year-round
Who We Help
From market town homes to residential estates, we arrange installers for properties where swing gates won't fit.
