For sites where space is at a premium, we have designed a remote-controlled gate that retracts fully into the ground, disappearing from view.
With ever higher premiums attached to space and land, there is sometimes no room even for a traditional hinged gate. So we have designed and engineered a gate that takes up no space at all – it simply lowers into the ground. With a fully custom design, it has the looks and style to complement a range of properties, from apartments to premium homes.
Engineered in New Zealand, the retracted gate sits in an underground steel housing. When closing, it rises smoothly between two guide posts concealed within the entrance pillars or fence structure. When the gate has fully retracted, a steel lid automatically folds over the channel to sit flush with the ground, allowing clearance for any vehicle from an SUV to a sportscar.
Operated by remote control, the Italian-made gate motor is assisted by a counterweight. This high-quality gear is concealed within the wall or pillar for easy access. We provide an annual service to clean out the in-ground housing and check the motors to maintain optimal performance.
The design allows for openings up to 4.8 metres wide (equivalent to a double garage) and 2 metres high.
The full Langford range of finishes is available, from powdercoated aluminium and steel to timber, including cedar. There are some limitations on panel thickness – contact us to discuss your requirements and custom options.
