Professional Automatic Sliding Gates in Adelaide
Automatic sliding gates are increasingly popular across Adelaide, particularly on properties with long driveways, corner blocks, and homes in the Hills where security and privacy are important. The gate itself is built and installed by a gate fabricator, but the electrical work is a licensed electrician's job. That includes running a power supply from your switchboard to the gate motor, wiring the safety sensors that prevent the gate from closing on people or vehicles, connecting remote controls and keypads, and integrating the gate with your intercom system if you have one.
We coordinate with your gate fabricator to ensure the electrical supply is in the right location, at the right capacity, and ready when they need it. Our installation includes a dedicated circuit from your switchboard, properly rated underground or overhead cabling to the gate motor, and wiring for all safety devices including photoelectric sensors, obstruction detection, and manual release mechanisms. Every installation complies with Australian standards for automated gate safety, which exist to prevent serious injuries.
If you already have an automated gate that needs electrical repairs, upgrades, or integration with a new intercom or smart home system, we can help with that too. Common requests include adding a video intercom so you can see who is at the gate before opening it, connecting the gate to your smart home controller so you can open it from your phone, and replacing faulty sensors or control boards. We work with all major gate motor brands and carry the common spare parts on our vans.

FAQs
Automatic Sliding Gates Questions
Common questions about automatic sliding gates in Adelaide.
What electrical work is involved in an automatic gate installation?
The electrical work includes running a dedicated power circuit from your switchboard to the gate motor location, wiring the motor and its control board, installing and wiring safety sensors (photoelectric beams and obstruction detection), connecting remote controls and keypads, and integrating with your intercom if applicable. We also install a manual release mechanism in case of power failure.
Do I need a separate electrician for my gate installation?
Yes. The gate fabricator builds and installs the physical gate and track, but the electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. This includes the power supply, motor wiring, safety sensors, and any intercom or smart home integration. We regularly work alongside gate installers across Adelaide and can coordinate the timing so everything comes together smoothly.
Can you integrate my gate with my intercom?
Yes. This is one of our most popular requests. We wire your video intercom to the gate motor's control board so you can see who is at the gate, speak to them, and open the gate remotely from the indoor station or your phone. This is especially practical for properties with long driveways where you cannot see the gate from inside the house.
What safety features are required for automatic gates?
Australian standards require automatic gates to have photoelectric sensors that detect people or objects in the gate's path, obstruction detection that stops and reverses the gate if it hits something, and a manual release so the gate can be opened during a power outage. We install and test all of these safety devices as part of every gate electrical installation.
Can I open my automatic gate from my phone?
Yes. We can connect your gate motor to a smart controller that allows you to open and close the gate from an app on your phone. This is useful when you are expecting deliveries, trades or visitors and want to let them in without walking to the gate. We set up the app and test it before we leave.
What happens to my automatic gate during a power outage?
Every automatic gate installation includes a manual release mechanism that allows you to open the gate by hand during a power outage. Some gate motors also have battery backup options that keep the gate operational for a limited number of cycles when the power is out. We discuss these options during the quoting visit.
Do you provide free quotes for automatic gate electrical work?
Yes. Every quote is free with no obligation. We visit your property, assess the distance from the switchboard to the gate, discuss your intercom and smart home requirements, and provide a clear written quote. If you are still in the planning stages, we can also advise your gate fabricator on what electrical preparation is needed.
