Automatic Sliding Gates FAQs

It is possible to tailor the gates to nearly any size, shape, or design. Unison can design, build, and install a gate to your exact specifications, whether you require a big industrial gate, a beautiful home entryway, or something more customised.

Yes. Automatic gates should include safety features such as obstacle detection, emergency stop, and safety edges or sensors. Unison can integrate these as part of their systems (depending on what you specify). (Note: while the website doesn’t list every safety feature in detail, these are standard for compliance and safe operation.)
Routine maintenance typically includes:
-
Checking the tracks or guides are clear of debris
-
Lubricating moving parts where necessary
-
Inspecting motors and electrical components
-
Ensuring safety sensors and edges are functioning correctly
-
Checking alignment and smooth operation
Unison also offers servicing and maintenance of gates as part of their services.
The cost depends heavily on factors such as: gate material, size, motor specification, control system, bespoke design, and installation complexity. For an accurate price, Unison offers a free, no-obligation quote.
