Choosing the right driveway gate

Focus on the three things that matter most: how secure the entrance needs to be, how people will use it every day, and how the gate should look alongside your property.

Security

A gated driveway creates a clear boundary around your property and helps protect your home, vehicles and outside space.

  • Creates a strong first line of defence
  • Restricts unwanted vehicle and pedestrian access
  • Can be combined with security gate systems

Access

The right gate should make authorised entry simple while giving you control over visitors, deliveries and day-to-day use.

  • Works with manual or automatic operation
  • Supports keypads, intercoms and mobile entry
  • Pairs with access control systems

Design

Your driveway gate should suit the property as well as the practical requirements of the entrance.

  • Choose from straight, curved, arched, solid or wrought styles
  • Balance privacy, visibility and kerb appeal
  • Explore materials such as wooden driveway gates
