    My house was built about 8 years ago and wiring was put in for electric gates but never connected. Now I want to get electric gates but don’t know where the wiring is at the gate.

    I can see the fuse box section for electric gates, the interior fake plate for the intercom but can’t find where the wire ends at the gate. I don’t have the electricians contact details anymore who worked on the house.

    Where would best place to find these and would installer easily locate these?

    You may have to dig around a bit to find the junction box, cable finder would be a help.

    It isn't going to be very far from the gate if the cable was indeed ran the whole way.
    I would trace the most obvious route from box to gate and you shouldn't be too far wrong..

    You can also hire a cable tracer.
