Gate and intercom installation in Cork, start to finish

The motor has to suit the gate, not the other way round. We check the weight and width of each leaf, the hinges and pillars, the slope of the drive and how often the gate is used before recommending ram arms, underground motors or a sliding gate.

For new gates we supply steel or timber gates made to measure, with the motors, safety sensors, remotes and keypad, and the ducting to the house. For existing gates we fit new motors, photocells and remotes after checking that the gates are sound.

A video intercom on the pillar lets you see and speak to visitors from your phone or a screen in the house, and open the gate for them from anywhere.

What you get

  • Swing gate automation with ram or underground motors
  • Sliding gates for sloping or tight entrances
  • Safety set up to EN 12453 with photocells and force testing
  • Video intercom on the pillar, answered on your phone
  • Keypads, remotes and number plate recognition
  • Cable in duct, never clipped along walls

Gates for Cork properties

Steep entrances in Montenotte and Passage West often suit a sliding gate. Period piers in Ballintemple and Blackrock look best with underground motors. Long drives in Innishannon and Glanmire need intercom cable run in duct back to the house. Waterside homes in Crosshaven and Kinsale get sealed motors and stainless fixings.

Every gate we automate is set up to the European gate safety standard EN 12453, published here by the National Standards Authority of Ireland, with photocells, safety edges where needed and force testing, so the gate stops and reverses if it meets an obstruction.

Questions

Questions we are often asked

How much does gate and intercom installation cost in Cork?

Automating existing swing gates is from €1,800 and new electric gates are from €3,900, including VAT. A video intercom adds from €600.

Can my existing gates be automated?

Most solid, well hung gates can. Gates that drag, sag or sit on weak pillars need attention first, and we explain that before quoting.

Swing or sliding?

Swing gates suit level drives with room behind the gate. If the drive rises behind the gate, space is tight or you want a wide opening, a sliding gate is usually better.

Can I open the gate from my phone?

Yes. You can open it from your phone, answer the intercom from anywhere and give temporary access to visitors and trades.

What happens in a power cut?

Every gate has a manual release so it can be opened by hand, and we show you how at handover. Battery backup is available on most motors.
