Melbourne Swing Gate Experts
When considering an automated gate for your property, swinging gates are considered the safer option. Fewer moving parts and less opportunity for little hands or fingers to be caught as they open means that this gate type is often the preferred solution for use at parks, childcare facilities and other public locations.

Swing gates can be opened either way, allowing easier access for pedestrians and vehicles approaching from either side.

Heavy If Not Automated
