Carlisle's electric gate installer
Adrian has spent 16 years installing electric gates, and AutoGate Carlisle runs from a unit on Burgh Road Industrial Estate in the west of the city. That puts us close to every corner of Carlisle, and within easy reach of the Eden Valley, the Solway coast and Dumfries and Galloway.
As members of BIGAA, the British and Irish Gate and Access Association, we fit every gate to the safety regulations for electrical work and gate automation. Each new installation is covered by a 3-year parts and labour warranty, and we're here for servicing and support long after it's finished.

Automatic Gates Fitted Across Carlisle and Cumbria
An automatic gate does more than open on its own. Done properly, it makes coming home easier, keeps children and pets safely inside, and gives your property a clear, secure boundary. We fit automatic gates for houses across Carlisle's suburbs, for farms and country homes out in the Eden Valley, and for businesses that need to control who comes and goes.
Every job starts with a visit. Adrian looks at the width and slope of your drive, the condition of the posts or pillars, where power can come from, and how you'll use the gate day to day. From there we recommend the right type – swing, sliding or bifold – and the right CAME motors to drive it, so the gate isn't working at its limit from day one.
You get a clear written quote before anything starts, and the same person who surveys the job is the one who fits it, sets it up and hands it over.
Electric Gates in Carlisle, Built to Last
Carlisle's weather is hard on anything that lives outdoors, and electric gates are no exception. That's why we pay as much attention to the parts you don't see as to the gates themselves: solid foundations, properly drained motor boxes, cabling run safely to the gate, and finishes that won't rust after the first winter.
Safety is built in from the start. Every automatic gate we install gets the photocells, safety edges and other devices it needs, and is force tested to BS EN 12453 so it stops and reverses before it can hurt anyone. You'll receive a Declaration of Conformity, the manuals and a run-through of the manual release.
Once your gates are in, we don't disappear. Your installation is backed by a 3-year parts and labour warranty, and we're on hand for servicing and repairs for as long as you own the gates.

Built for Cumbrian weather
Solway gales, Pennine frosts and months of rain all take their toll on gates and motors. We fit CAME automation matched to the size and weight of each gate, and use galvanised, powder-coated finishes so the metalwork stands up to it.
We also repair Beninca, FAAC, BFT, Nice, SEA, Gibidi, Allmatic, V2, Key Automation and Chamberlain LiftMaster.
