When you are looking for the appropriate gate for your driveway other than the design, style, look and security features, you should also consider its functions and utilities. Would you want a sliding driveway gate or a swinging one? Would you like for the gate to display some text to show your personal or business name / number / address? Do you prefer the driveway gates to be operable manually or with electricity? Perhaps you may want it to be operable from within your premises as compared to at its physical location. We offer all kinds of functional options to make your driveway gate as personalized to your requirements as possible.

Within the functions, the option of having a sliding or a swinging gate should be considered. Both sliding driveway gates as well as swinging ones have their respective advantages and drawbacks. To decide which one is the optimum one for your property you need to consider several aspects. Some of these factors include:

Your Budget:

Sliding driveway gates require a track and rollers, due to which they are comparatively more expensive when compared to swinging gates, which only need hinges. Even though they may be of the same size and fabricated from the same material, it is the mounting and operation that can affect the cost, making the sliding option a bit more costly.

Maintenance Factors:

A sliding driveway gate requires a track that is clean and without any sort of obstacles like sand or leaves in its way. Such hindrances can cause the sliding gates to stop or at times, even derail. Therefore proper maintenance is required by ensuring that the tracks are clean and free of obstacles. Swinging gates are simpler to maintain as there are no tracks involved.

Available Space:

Sliding driveway gates require little room to operate and are therefore ideal to install in limited space areas. Swinging gates on the other hand require a lot of clearance space and therefore are recommended only in areas where adequate clearance space is available.
Deciding on the best gate for your driveway is something that you require professional assistance with. We at London Gates & Grilles offer you the best options with expert help from our specialized team.
