Steel Sliding Gate with Aluminium Infill – Maynooth, Kildare

We installed a steel-framed sliding gate for a property in Maynooth, Kildare. The frame was galvanised and powder-coated to provide the specified finish to the steelwork. The gate incorporated 90 mm aluminium infill boards, while the upper section remained open and was divided into rectangular sections by vertical framing. The combination of a steel frame with aluminium infill is also seen across other aluminium gates and mixed-material entrance designs.

We automated the gate using a 24 V Mercury motor configured for powered opening and closing. The system included reverse-on-obstacle operation, allowing the gate movement to stop and reverse when resistance was detected during travel. We also installed two sets of photocells as part of the automated entrance safety arrangement, providing additional detection across the gate opening.

For access control, our team fitted and configured a combined video intercom and keypad. This allowed gate operation to be managed through the installed entrance-control system. Remote controls were also supplied for opening and closing the gate. The completed installation brings together the galvanised and powder-coated steel gate frame, aluminium infill, Mercury automation, photocells and access-control components as part of our completed gate installations.
