Product & installation questions
Do you offer installation or a site survey?
We don’t provide an installation service or site surveys. Our gates are designed to be straightforward to fit, either DIY or by your chosen installer.
To help, we provide clear installation guides for each product. If you have any questions during planning or fitting, our team can help — please reach us via live chat, WhatsApp, phone or email through our Contact Us page.
Where can I find the installation instructions?
You’ll find the relevant installation guide on the product page for the gate you’re viewing.
- Go to the product page for your chosen gate
- Scroll down to the How to Install section
- View online or download the PDF to keep on your phone or print for site
If anything is unclear, contact us via the Contact Us page (live chat, WhatsApp, phone or email).
How do I choose the correct gate size for my driveway opening?
Getting the measurements right is important for smooth operation and a clean finish.
Width
- Measure the total width of your opening
- Allow extra clearance so the opening is 50mm wider than the gate’s stated width
This gives room for hinge-side adjustment and spacing between the two gate leaves
Height
- Measure from finished ground level to the top of the opening
- Allow at least 100mm extra height compared to the gate height to accommodate hinge and ground clearance (space at the top and bottom)
For model-specific details and drawings, check the Installation Guides page.
Can I fit a combination lock to the gates?
Our gates aren’t set up for combination locks as standard.
The usual lock option is a keyed handle set using a Euro cylinder (typically 70mm with a 50/50 split). If you need something different, speak to your installer first — and feel free to contact us via the Contact Us page for guidance.
What is the thickness of the driveway gates?
Our double driveway gates are typically 55mm thick.
For exact dimensions for your chosen size and style, download the dimension drawing from the Installation Guides page.
Can I order a custom colour?
Yes, we can supply gates in custom RAL colours on request. If you would like a non-standard colour, please contact our customer service team with the RAL code from the RAL colour chart and the product details. We’ll confirm availability, lead time and pricing before you place your order.
What warranty do you offer?
All Readymade Gates products are covered by our standard 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
For full details on what’s included and the warranty period for each product range, click here to download our Warranty Guide (PDF).
How heavy is each gate?
Gate weights vary by model and size. The most accurate weight is shown on the relevant product page under Gate Weight Table (in kg). This is useful for planning lifting/handling and choosing the right hinges/automation.
What are the delivery times?
Standard delivery for ready-made gates is normally 7–14 days.
If your order includes custom modifications (such as custom width cutting or special colours), delivery is usually 7–21 days.
Lead times can vary by postcode and order size, so please see our Delivery Information page for the latest details.
Can double driveway gates be automated and also used manually?
Yes — our double driveway gates can be installed for manual use or prepared for automation.
Manual operation (recommended):
- 1 × Driveway Gate Lock & Handle Set (factory fitted)
- 2 × Locinox lockable drop bolts
- 1 × Locinox ground stop
Automation-ready:
- A handle set and drop bolts are usually not required
- Requirements depend on the automation type
- Above-ground operators: normally no additional gate accessories needed
- Underground operators: a factory modification is typically required for clearance (your installer should confirm)
What’s included with the gates?
We supply hinge sets to suit different fitting situations:
- Wall-mounted hinges: for fixing to walls or existing posts
- Floor-mounted hinges: for installations between aluminium posts
This ensures you have the correct hinge solution for your setup.
Do I need aluminium posts?
Aluminium posts are only needed if you don’t have suitable supporting walls/existing posts, or if you need to make up the correct opening width where the available gate sizes don’t fill the gap.
