CCTV, Intruder Alarms, Access Control & Solar Security for Homes and Businesses
MPG Electrical is a professional security systems installer providing CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, gate automation, and solar security solutions across Kent.
Every property has different access, security and space requirements, which is why we install a range of automated gate systems across Kent. Whether you need electric gates for a home driveway, commercial entrance or industrial site, we’ll recommend the most suitable gate type, automation equipment and materials for reliable, long-lasting performance.
Swing gates are one of the most popular choices for residential driveways and private properties. Available as single or double swing gates, they can be automated using underground motors or articulated arm motors to provide smooth, secure and convenient access.
Sliding gates are ideal where driveway space is limited, or vehicles park close to the entrance. Using tracked systems and powerful sliding gate motors, they provide reliable operation for homes, commercial premises and high-security entrances.
We automate gates manufactured from steel and timber. Both materials provide excellent durability, security and visual appeal, allowing us to design an automated gate system that complements your property while delivering reliable long-term performance.
Cantilever gates operate without a ground track, making them ideal for uneven driveways, industrial estates and high-traffic entrances. Their trackless design reduces maintenance while delivering smooth, dependable operation in demanding environments.
An automated gate works by receiving a signal from a remote control, keypad, intercom, smartphone app, or vehicle detector. The control panel activates an electromechanical motor, hydraulic motor, or underground operator to move the gate. Safety photocells, pressure edges, and obstacle detection continuously monitor the gate and stop or reverse it if an obstruction is detected.
Control who enters your property with integrated gate access systems designed for secure vehicle and pedestrian entry. We can automate gates using keypad entry, GSM intercoms, audio and video intercoms, smartphone control, proximity fobs, card readers, ANPR and biometric readers. These systems can also integrate with your existing access control and door entry solution for seamless operation.
Every automated gate is designed with safety in mind. Systems can include safety photocells, pressure edges and obstacle detection to help protect people and vehicles during operation. Where applicable, installations are completed in accordance with current HSE guidance and relevant BS EN 12453 and BS EN 12445 safety standards.
Our gate automation systems are suitable for residential driveways, private estates, apartment developments, schools, councils, offices, warehouses, factories, logistics centres, business parks and construction sites across Kent. Every installation can be tailored to your security requirements and integrated with:

Gate automation is the process of fitting a motor and control system to a gate so it opens and closes without manual effort, typically operated by remote, keypad, or smartphone app. It adds convenience and an extra layer of security to a property’s entrance.
Cost depends on gate size, material, motor type, and site groundworks, so there’s no single figure that applies to every property. MPG Electrical provides a survey-based quote after assessing your gate and access requirements.
Yes, most existing gates can be automated without full replacement, provided the gate’s frame, hinges, and weight are suitable for a motor system. MPG Electrical assesses this during a site survey and recommends any reinforcement needed before fitting automation.
Yes, swing, sliding, and bi-fold gates on residential driveways can all be automated. The right system depends on available space, gate weight, and how the driveway is used, which MPG Electrical assesses during a free site visit.
A motor connects to the gate, either via an arm, chain, or underground unit, and is controlled through a keypad, remote, or app. Safety sensors detect obstructions and stop the gate from moving if something or someone is in the way.
Yes, bi-fold gates can be automated and are a good option for driveways with limited depth or exposure to wind, since they fold rather than swing. A survey confirms whether your existing gate is suitable for bi-fold conversion.
Safety sensors detect an obstruction in the gate’s path and stop or reverse movement automatically, preventing injury to people or damage to vehicles during operation.
