Hands Free Entry
No more heavy lifting; your Hockley gates open automatically, safe for family and suited to village and country driveways.
What We Do
Covering structural assessment, electric motor installation, safety sensors, access control integration, and any necessary hinge or frame reinforcement.
Existing Gate Automation Retrofit
Fit electric motor, safety sensors and control unit to existing swing, sliding or cantilever gates with minimal disruption.
Gate Mechanism Upgrade
Upgrade hinges, bearings or tracks and add frame bracing so the gate meets motor load requirements and runs smoothly.
Retrofit Access Control Addition
Integrate fobs, keypads or phone access with motor controllers for secure, hands-free entry tailored to rural driveways.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Incorrect retrofits often overload motors or cause sticking; thorough assessment and reinforcement reduce failures and avoid repeat callouts.
Worn hinges and weak timber frames transfer load to motors, causing premature failure and expensive call-outs.
Leaf fall and waterlogging on loam soils clog sliding tracks, causing jams and extra maintenance for rural driveways.
Many homeowners worry retrofit needs costly reinforcement or full replacement without a clear structural assessment.
Local survey inspects hinges, frame and access, then recommends motor spec and gives a clear, itemised quote.
Steel bracing or hinge upgrades strengthen frames before motor fitment, protecting motor lifespan and reducing breakdowns.
Who We Help
Owners on Hockley High Street and Church Road needing sensitive retrofits that preserve character and avoid full replacement.
Long drives and loam soils need correct motor placement and drainage work to prevent track waterlogging and jams.
Estates and multi-property sites requiring coordinated access control and consistent automation across multiple entrances.
