Our clients required a gate that would open inward without hitting their upward-sloping driveway. Rather than create a large clearance gap at the bottom, which might have allowed pets or small children through, we installed a ‘self-lifting’ kit to raise the gate as it swings. Made from powdercoated aluminium, the gate is fitted with a reliable Italian-made motor, custom brackets, and a swivel bearing in the arm that allows for automatic raising and lowering. Fine stainless steel cables close the gap between the gate post and hedge for complete security.
