If you are investing in a new set of driveway gates or security gates, then adding automation gives you added convenience. Benefits of gate automation include:
- Easier access - Enjoy the benefit of rolling up to your gates and having them open without even having to get out of your vehicle (perfect when the weather isn't cooperating).
- Enhanced security - Adding automated access to your gates can make your property more secure by making it harder to get your gates open. Integrating the gates with your security system ensures added protection.
- More controlled access - Adding opening systems to your automated gates, such as keypad-controlled or smartphone-controlled access, means you can easily allow certain people, such as family members, access while restricting others.

BestSteel provides a comprehensive range of gate automation solutions for both electric sliding gates and swing gates.
For swing gates we can supply a range of automatic openers.
- Articulated arm gate openers are efficient and open gates faster than other types. They can also handle larger gates easily.
- Linear actuators need less side room to open the gate compared to articulated arms and look neater when installed. They are usually a more cost-effective option.
- Underground operators are dug in underground, so there is nothing to see on the front or back of the gate. They create a cleaner finished look but do cost more to install and can suffer from corrosion.
Our gates are covered by a six-year workmanship guarantee and an eight-year no-rust warranty. If you add automation then we also offer a two-year guarantee on the automation.
Plus, we offer on-going technical support and repairs or replacement parts if required. Our supplier is also based in Christchurch giving us ready access to technical support and parts and meaning any issues are dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
