Your driveway is more than just a path to your home—it’s the threshold to your personal space, your first layer of security, and one of the most noticeable features of your property. At Gateway Automation Inc., we specialize in crafting custom residential gate systems that combine function, elegance, and long-term performance. Whether you’re prioritizing privacy, safety, or curb appeal, a professionally designed and installed driveway gate adds value on every front.
With decades of experience and hundreds of successful installations across Ontario, Gateway Automation has earned a reputation for delivering tailored gate solutions that match your property’s architecture, terrain, and your lifestyle needs. From traditional estates to modern suburban homes, we help homeowners make a bold, secure, and seamless statement—right at the entrance.
Why a Custom Driveway Gate is a Smart Investment
A residential gate isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade—it’s a proactive investment in your home’s protection, convenience, and property value. When built and installed correctly, a gate system deters trespassing, reduces unauthorized vehicle access, and adds a professional finish to your front elevation. Our clients consistently tell us that their new gate has become one of their favorite—and most complimented—features of the home.
At Gateway Automation, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why we offer two highly customizable and proven gate types: swing gates and sliding gates, each designed to meet different spatial and functional needs.
Swing Gates: Traditional Beauty, Enhanced Security
Swing gates are the go-to for homeowners seeking a timeless, commanding entrance. These gates open inward or outward on a hinge system and often sit higher than other gate types, creating a natural deterrent to intruders while elevating the overall curb appeal. They’re especially well-suited to large driveways with level ground and space to accommodate the arc of the gate’s movement.
Gateway Automation builds swing gates in aluminum, iron, steel, or wood composite, all of which can be powder-coated or finished to match your home’s exterior. Each gate is mounted to reinforced steel posts or integrated into existing masonry columns. With our deep concrete footings and frost-proof engineering, your gate is protected against seasonal shifting, ensuring it remains perfectly aligned and functional for years to come.
We pair our swing gates with high-performance motor systems and automation options, including remote access, keypad entry, fobs, and smartphone integration—giving you full control with minimal effort.
Sliding Gates: Practical Elegance for Tight or Sloped Spaces
If your property includes a steep incline, gravel paving, or limited room for a swing arc, a sliding gate may be the ideal choice. These gates move laterally across your fence line via a roller track or cantilever system, making them highly adaptable to challenging terrain or narrow driveways.
Sliding gates offer a sleek, contemporary aesthetic and exceptional space efficiency. They can even be configured with telescoping panels to accommodate shorter fence lines or smaller lots. Like our swing gates, sliding gates are available in a range of materials and styles, all built to exacting standards for durability, weather resistance, and smooth operation.
Our systems include commercial-grade motors, safety sensors, and smart access technology, giving you reliable performance with the touch of a button or tap on your phone.
Built for Ontario Weather. Backed by the Best Warranty.
No matter which style you choose, every Gateway Automation gate is engineered to endure the toughest Canadian conditions—from harsh winter freezes to humid summers and everything in between. Our gates are installed with longevity in mind and backed by one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry. That means less time worrying about maintenance and more time enjoying a secure, hassle-free entry system.
Choosing the Right Gate: Key Factors to Consider
Still deciding between a swing or sliding gate? Here are a few questions to help guide the choice:
• How much space is behind the gate line? Swing gates need room to open.
• Is the driveway sloped or uneven? Sliding gates perform better on tricky terrain.
• Do you prefer a classic or contemporary look? Swing gates tend to offer a more traditional aesthetic.
• Is maximizing driveway space a priority? Sliding gates are ideal for tighter lots.
• Do you want added height for privacy or deterrence? Swing gates typically offer greater vertical presence.
