Sliding gates are an essential feature for any property requiring a balance of security, convenience, and space efficiency. Whether it's for residential, commercial, or industrial use, sliding gates offer a durable and reliable solution that enhances both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your property.
At First Fence, we provide a comprehensive range of sliding gates, including Bi-Fold Gates, Manual Sliding Gates, and Automatic Sliding Gates, each designed to meet specific security and operational needs. These gates are engineered with precision, ensuring smooth operation, long-term durability, and an attractive appearance that complements any fencing system.
For properties that demand the highest level of security and convenience, automatic sliding gates are the perfect solution. These electric gates are designed to offer seamless access control, making them ideal for both residential and commercial properties where ease of use and security are top priorities. Automatic sliding gates operate on a motorised system, allowing them to open and close with the push of a button, a remote control, or even via a smartphone app.
The FFL 95 Automated Cantilever Gate is ideal for smaller to medium-sized openings. The gate can fit widths ranging from 3.5m to 5.5m. For larger properties, the FFL 130 Automated Cantilever Gate provides a wider span, accommodating openings between 6.0m and 7.5m. To secure expansive areas, our FFL 200 Automated Cantilever Gate offers impressive widths from 8.0m to 12.0m.
Our motorised gates come with different infill options like solid panels, mesh, and bars. You can pick the level of visibility and security that fits your property best. These automatic gates can have safety features. They may include sensors to detect obstacles, emergency stop buttons, and backup batteries. These features ensure the gates work safely and reliably, even during a power outage.
Bi-fold gates are a versatile option for properties where space is limited but security and access speed are paramount. Unlike traditional sliding gates, bi-fold gates operate by folding in on themselves, requiring significantly less space to open and close. The swift opening mechanism of bi-fold gates also makes them particularly suitable for high-traffic areas, where quick access is essential, such as commercial premises, car parks, or emergency service facilities.
Our Bi-fold gates are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different property requirements. For wider entrances, our Double Leaf Bi-Folding Gate offers widths ranging from 3.0m to 10.0m, with heights of 1.8m to 2.4m. For narrower openings, the Single Leaf Bi-Folding Gate is ideal, with widths from 2.0m to 5.0m and heights of 1.8m to 2.4m. These dimensions ensure a perfect fit for both residential and commercial properties, providing optimal security and convenience.
For properties where automated access control is not required, manual sliding gates or swing gates offer a reliable and cost-effective solution. These gates are good for places with limited power or where they are not used often enough to need automation. Manual sliding gates operate smoothly on a cantilever system, allowing them to be easily opened and closed. Whilst our manual swing gates are supplied with reliable Locinox locking systems and heavy-duty hinges.
First Fence's manual gates are available in a variety of sizes and designs to suit different property types and security needs. Whether you need a gate for a small residential driveway or a large industrial entrance, we have a solution that will meet your requirements.
We offer three types of manual gates to cater to different needs. The FFL 95 Manual Cantilever Gate is suitable for smaller to medium-sized openings, ranging from 3.5m to 5.5m wide. For larger spaces, the FFL 130 Manual Cantilever Gate provides a width range of 6.0m to 7.5m. To secure expansive properties, our FFL 200 Manual Cantilever Gate offers impressive widths from 8.0m to 12.0m.
In high-traffic commercial environments, the balance between robust security and fluid movement is delicate. Our Semi-Automatic Pedestrian Gates provide the perfect middle ground, combining the heavy-duty physical protection of a manual gate with the effortless, controlled closing of an automated system.
Enhance your perimeter security without compromising on ease of access. Our range of commercial-grade pedestrian gates is designed specifically for high-traffic environments where durability and controlled entry are paramount.
Every gate in this range is engineered for semi-automatic operation, ensuring the gate closes reliably behind each user, making it perfect for schools, office complexes, and industrial sites.
