Double Swing Electric Gate: Custom Solutions for Wide Entrances

t293-32

A double swing electric gate is two leaves that open outward or inward from a central post, driven by motors, and it suits wide driveways and estate entrances where one leaf would be too heavy or too long. We design each pair to the exact opening, ground conditions and traffic it must handle, then manufacture the frame, infill and finish in our factory before installation.

When a Double Swing Gate Makes Sense

A double swing gate is often the right choice when the driveway opening is wide, usually more than what a single leaf can comfortably span. Splitting the opening into two leaves keeps each panel lighter, so the motors work less and the hinges carry smaller loads over the years.

It also suits estate entrances where a sliding gate would need a long free track on one side. If the space beside the entrance is limited, two swinging leaves can fit where a sliding gate cannot.

Measuring and Planning the Opening

Accurate measurement comes first. We check the clear width between posts, the height, the slope of the driveway and the space the leaves need to swing without hitting a car, a wall or a planter.

Design, Drawings and Specification

After measuring, we prepare a drawing and a written specification showing leaf sizes, frame profiles, infill style, hinge and post details, and the motor type. You review the drawing and approve it before production starts, so there are no surprises on installation day.

Infill options include vertical bars, mesh, solid panels or a combination, chosen for privacy, appearance and wind load.

Built in Our Factory

Every leaf is fabricated in our Tel Aviv workshop, where we have worked iron, aluminum and steel since 1945. The frame is welded and checked for square, then the gate receives its finish, typically hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection followed by powder coating in the colour you choose.

Building the gate under one roof means we control the quality of each joint and the straightness of each leaf before it leaves the factory.

Electric Operation and Safety

The motors, controller and safety devices are matched to the weight and size of each leaf. Safety matters on a driveway, so we discuss obstacle detection, safety edges and the correct wiring with you and your installer.

For specific electrical and mechanical requirements, we confirm exact values with a qualified engineer rather than relying on general figures.

Installation and Ongoing Care

Installation includes setting the posts, hanging the leaves, adjusting the hinges so both leaves close squarely, and commissioning the motors. We walk through the operation with you so you know how to use the controls.

Simple care, such as checking hinges and keeping the travel path clear, keeps a double swing gate running smoothly for years.

Frequently asked questions

How wide can a double swing electric gate be?

The width depends on the leaf weight, the posts and the motors we select for your site. We confirm the workable width after measuring your entrance.

Should the gate swing inward or outward?

It depends on the space in front and behind the entrance and whether cars or pedestrians will be close to the swing path. We recommend the direction after reviewing your site.

Is a double swing gate better than a sliding gate?

Neither is always better. A swing gate suits limited side space less well in some cases, while a sliding gate needs a free track; we help you choose based on your layout.

Do you install the gate and the motors?

We manufacture the gate and can coordinate installation including posts, hinges and motors. Please ask us about the installation scope for your project.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a gate before measuring the true clear opening and the swing clearance often leads to leaves that hit cars, walls or uneven ground. Skipping the drawing approval step can also mean the finished gate does not match what you expected.

Our recommendation

Measure the opening at the top, middle and bottom, and mark the full swing path on the ground before deciding on leaf size. Ask for galvanizing plus powder coating on exposed steel, especially near the sea air of Tel Aviv.

Summary

A double swing electric gate is a practical, custom solution for wide entrances when it is measured, designed and built to your exact site. Working from a clear drawing and a quality finish makes it reliable for years.
