Automatic Gate Installation & Automation
Automation turns a beautiful gate into an everyday convenience. We size and install electric operators to your gate's weight and how often it's used, so it opens smoothly, runs quietly, and keeps working reliably through daily use — whether it's a single swing gate at a home or a heavy sliding gate at a commercial entrance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about automatic gate systems for San Diego properties.
Can you add automation to my existing gate?
Often, yes. If your current gate frame, posts, and hinges are in good shape, we can add a swing or slide operator, safety sensors, and smart access control. During a site visit we check the gate's weight, clearance, and condition to be sure automation will run reliably.
How does an automatic gate work during a power outage?
Backup behavior depends on the operator and configuration you choose. Some operators include battery backup that keeps the gate working through a few open/close cycles without power, and most include a manual release for emergencies. We walk through the right options for your property during the site visit.
Are automatic gates safe around kids and pets?
Modern operators include safety features designed to reduce contact and pinch points — infrared safety beams that prevent closing when something is in the path, obstruction detection that auto-reverses, and manual release for emergencies. We set up and test these features as part of installation.
Can automation run on solar power?
Solar-assisted setups are an option for some gates, particularly where running power to the gate is difficult. Suitability depends on sun exposure, gate weight, and how often the gate cycles. We can assess whether solar makes sense for your property during a site visit.
