Electric gates Perth
Electric gates built and installed by a local Perth team
Gateworld designs, builds and installs electric gates for homes and businesses across Perth. Every gate is made to measure for your driveway, fitted with a motor that suits its weight and width, and finished with safety beams and a battery backup as standard.
Daryl and Wayne handle the design and installation themselves, so the people who measure your driveway are the people who fit your gate. We install electric sliding gates and electric swing gates, and we can fit a motor to an existing manual gate if it is in good condition.
- Made to measure in marine grade aluminium
- Safety beams and battery backup on every gate
- Remote, keypad, intercom or app control
- Mains or solar power
What you get
Included with every electric gate
Each gate is built for its property, whether that is a modern slat design, a picket gate to match your fence or a commercial gate that sees heavy daily use.
Marine grade aluminium
Frames and infills are marine grade aluminium, pretreated and then powder-coated in the colour you choose, so they stand up to WA conditions.
Proven motors
We fit motors from established brands that have been on the market for over 30 years, sized to the weight and width of your gate.
Safety beams
Every gate we automate has safety beams. If a car, person or object is in the gateway, the gate stops or opens again.
Battery backup
The motor has a battery backup, so the gate keeps opening and closing when the power goes out.
Long range remotes
Every system comes with long range remotes. You can add a keypad, an intercom or app control.
Mains or solar power
We connect the gate to mains power, or fit a solar panel where running a cable to the gate is difficult.
Sliding or swing
Which electric gate suits your driveway?
Electric sliding gates
An electric sliding gate runs on a track across the driveway and slides back beside the fence or wall. It suits sloped driveways and blocks with no room for a gate to swing, which is why it is the most common choice on Perth’s newer, smaller lots. You need a clear run beside the opening at least as long as the gate. See automatic sliding gates for designs and installation details.
Electric swing gates
Electric swing gates open like a pair of doors, into the property or out towards the street. They suit level driveways with room for the gates to open and make a strong entrance on wider frontages. Each leaf has its own motor arm mounted on the post or pier. Read more about automatic swing gates.
Not sure which to choose? Sliding and swing gates use different motors. A sliding gate runs on a single motor beside the gate, while a swing gate has a motor arm on each leaf. We recommend the right setup at your free on-site quote.
Power and access
How electric gates are powered and controlled
Most electric gates run from a mains power supply to the motor. Where the gate is a long way from the house, or a cable would mean lifting paving, a solar panel can power the gate instead. Our gate motors have a battery backup, so the gate keeps opening and closing during a power outage.
Every system includes long range remote controls. You can add a keypad for visitors and tradespeople, an intercom to see or speak to whoever is at the gate before you let them in, or app control so you can open the gate from your phone.

FAQs
Electric gate questions
Can’t find what you need? Call Daryl on 0435 817 147.
Are quotes free?
Yes. We come to your property, measure up and talk through the options with you, then send you a quote. There is no charge for the visit.
How long does it take?
We aim to have a new gate installed around six weeks from when you place your order. The installation itself usually takes a few days, depending on the size of the job. We give you a timeline with your quote.
Can you automate my existing gate?
In most cases, yes. We can fit a motor to an existing swing or sliding gate if the gate, its hinges or track, and its posts are in good condition. We check this at the free on-site quote.
Can an electric gate run on solar power?
Yes. Where running mains power to the gate is difficult or expensive, a solar panel can charge the gate battery instead. We will tell you at the quote whether your gate gets enough sun for solar to work well.
Will my gate work in a power outage?
Yes. Our gate motors have a battery backup, so the gate keeps opening and closing during a power cut.
Can I add a keypad, intercom or app control?
Yes. Every automatic gate comes with long range remotes, and you can add a keypad, an intercom or smartphone control. These can be fitted at installation or added later.
Do I need council approval?
Most gates do not need council approval. Some walls and fences do, depending on their height and where they sit on the block, so it is worth checking with your local council. If approval is needed, we can supply the details and specifications for your application.
Do your gates come with a warranty?
Yes. Our gates come with a warranty on the materials and on the automation system. The terms depend on the gate and motor you choose, and we go through them with you at the quote.
Do you service and repair gates?
Yes. We maintain and repair the gates we install and other automatic gates, including all major motor brands. Regular servicing keeps a gate running smoothly and helps avoid bigger repair bills later.
What are your payment terms?
We take a deposit to start the job, and the balance is due when the installation is finished.
