Gate Control designs, manufactures and installs wooden gates for homes, driveways, estates and commercial entrances. Timber is a popular choice where privacy, natural character and a traditional appearance are important.
Gates can be made to measure around the width, style and practical needs of the entrance, with options for manual or fully automated operation. We can also integrate intercoms, keypads, remote controls and other access control systems.
Our wooden gates are available in a range of styles, from solid privacy gates to more open designs that retain visibility through the entrance.
We offer a range of extremely sturdy security gate systems.
Manual and automated options designed around everyday access needs.
