Auto Gates in Serangoon Gardens, Singapore

Driveways are typically short here: single-vehicle terrace driveways with tight clearance to the road. Swing gates often hit the kerb if not specified carefully, so we sometimes recommend a sliding system even on driveways narrow enough that swing would seem like the obvious choice. Pillar age is also a consideration: older pillars are often no longer plumb and need rebuilding before a new gate is hung.

Typical work here is full gate replacement or motor-only replacement. Italian and German motor brands are widely specified despite the value orientation because the labour cost of repeat callouts on cheaper motors quickly erases any savings. We scope each gate after a free site assessment.

If an old swing gate has started catching the kerb, the ground has usually moved or the pillars have leaned; a like-for-like replacement inherits the same problem. Check whether the geometry still suits a swing arc at all: on a short terrace driveway, switching to a sliding system plus a pillar rebuild is often the durable answer.
