    I'll recommend two

    https://www.autodoorengineering.ie/

    and

    https://mungretgates.com/

    Have used both and found both to be very good. Neither are very far from you.

    Mungret gates installed the gates and autodoor automated them. Mungret gates have since done more full install and automations for some friends based on my recommendation.

    This was in no fault of either recommendations, a third party was making my gates and let me down, so Mungret gates stepped in, shane from autodoor had already started the automation so I left it to him to finish it.

    Both were fantastic to deal with, turned up when they said they would and finished to a high standard.

    We had Berfield automation automate our existing gates. Easy to deal with and a good clean job.

    I have Electric gates in an new house I moved into but Motor is gone on them. The original job done was bad as water is draining into the motor but was thinking could I salvage the Gates at least, disconnect them and start again. Do ye think that's a viable option

    We bought our gates and automation kit from https://www.casanoov.ie

    I did the install myself - with zero experience - but I would consider myself high up on the DIY charts! LOL

    You can buy the automation elements separately - for swing gates or roller type.

    I had the gates in and automated for around 1300 euro, all in - I was blessed that the opening (pillar to pillar) was for 4m setup, though as these gates come flat packed, I could always have adjusted (cut) the gates to suit, prior to assembly! Thankfully I didn't have to!

    Which option from the website did you go with?

    Similar to this:


    our actual kit seems to have been updated/replaced... twas around 400 at the time

    Also another problem I have is, when the rookie job was done originally, the gates were attached at the pier, not on the front of the piers, but at the side of the piers if that makes sense, and so they cant fully open back, only 90 degrees. So I think if I want to re do it I will have to get new gates because of this, unless possibly they could be reattached at the corner of the pier where the side and the front of the pier meet?

    If you know someone handy with a welder they should be able to save the gates by cutting off the fixing brackets & putting them back in the right place so you can open the gates right.

    We had our gates electrified with Gate Automation in February. Mark did a top class job and we would have no hesitation in recommending him. Where other companies we contacted made up excuses about our gate pillars and that we would be driving through the gates at an angle, he went and just got on with it. Job was completed inside four days. Best thing we ever did.



    They are based out of Emly in West Tipp but cover all of Munster.
