Everything that makes a gate open itself

Already have a gate? We can automate most existing swing and slide gates. Building new? We design the gate and the opener as one system.

Gate openers

Swing and slide operators from LiftMaster and Ghost Controls, sized to your gate’s weight and how often it cycles, so the motor isn’t straining.

Solar power

No power at the end of the drive? Solar kits with properly sized panels and batteries keep your gate running, even on short Michigan winter days.

Keypads & remotes

Wireless keypads for guests and deliveries, plus remotes and car-visor transmitters for the family.

Intercoms

Talk to visitors at the gate and buzz them in from the house or your phone.

Cameras

See who’s at the gate and keep a record of who comes and goes.

Automatic exit

Exit sensors and wands open the gate as you drive out, so no one has to reach for a remote.

Installed by gate builders, not just electricians

An opener is only as good as the gate it’s moving. Because we build gates, we check the hinges, posts, and balance before we install an opener. That’s how you avoid the burned-out motors and binding gates we’re called to fix all the time.

  • Opener sized correctly for your gate
  • Safety sensors and auto-reverse set up properly
  • Clean, protected wiring
  • We show you how everything works before we leave
  • 1-year warranty on parts we install
