Expert Electric Gate Installation & Repair
Automated Doors & Gates Ltd specialise in electric gate automation for residential and commercial properties across Norfolk, Essex, and Suffolk. As certified BFT installers, we design, install, maintain, and repair automated gate systems built for security, convenience, and long-term reliability.
Whether you need a new automated gate for your home or a heavy-duty commercial entrance system, our experienced engineers deliver tailored solutions using industry-leading equipment from BFT, FAAC, and Came.
Gate Types We Install & Service
Swing Gate Automation
Swing gates are the most popular choice for residential properties. We install BFT and Came swing gate operators that provide smooth, quiet operation with built-in safety features including obstacle detection and adjustable auto-close. Ideal for driveways with adequate opening space.
Sliding Gate Automation
Sliding gates are perfect where space is limited or for commercial and industrial sites requiring wide entrances. We install BFT sliding gate motors capable of handling gates up to several tonnes, with FAAC systems available for heavy-duty commercial applications requiring continuous operation.
Underground Gate Automation
For a discreet, aesthetically clean installation, underground operators are concealed below ground level — preserving the appearance of your gates while delivering reliable automation. Popular for heritage properties and high-end residential installations where visual impact matters.
Brands We Install / Repair & Service
BFT — Our primary brand. BFT is one of Europe’s leading gate automation manufacturers, known for reliability, advanced safety features, and excellent technical support. We are certified BFT installers with direct access to genuine parts and manufacturer backing.
FAAC — Specified for heavy-duty commercial barrier and gate applications where continuous use and demanding environments require robust, industrial-grade equipment.
Came — A trusted Italian manufacturer offering reliable gate operators for both residential and light commercial use.
Our Services
New Installations & Free Site Surveys
We offer free site surveys for new gate automation installations. Our engineers visit your property, assess the entrance, discuss your requirements, and provide a detailed quotation with no obligation. We’ll recommend the right gate type, motor, and safety features for your specific situation.
System Upgrades
If you have an older automated gate system that’s unreliable or outdated, we can upgrade it with modern BFT or Came operators. Upgrades improve safety, add smart control options, and extend the life of your existing gates without full replacement.
Repairs & Fault Finding
Gate not working? We diagnose and repair faults quickly — motor failures, control board issues, safety sensor problems, and mechanical wear. We carry common BFT and Came parts on our vans for same-day repairs wherever possible.
Maintenance & Servicing
Annual servicing keeps your automated gates safe and reliable. Our maintenance visits include motor testing, safety sensor calibration, gate alignment checks, lubrication, and control system diagnostics. Regular servicing prevents costly breakdowns and extends system lifespan.
