Key Automation Gate Motor Product Range
Compact Sliding Gate Motors
Key Automation sliding operators are compact and reliable, making them a great fit for residential driveways and retrofits where space is limited. We size the motor to your gate weight and travel, set accurate limits and fit durable rack to ensure smooth daily operation.
Retrofit Swing Gate Operators
Linear and articulated arms from Key Automation suit a variety of swing gates, from narrow posts to wider brick piers. Their compact design makes them well suited to retrofits, and we configure single or double leaves with correct stops, hinges and safety for safe operation.
Boom Gates and Barriers
Key Automation barrier arms are designed for residential complexes and small business sites with steady traffic. We size the barrier to lane width, add safety beams, and integrate access control such as keypads and vehicle loops.
Control Panels and Receivers
Key Automation control boards are simple to service, with clear layouts, soft start and stop, and multiple safety inputs. Add-on receivers make it easy to connect remotes, keypads or smart access accessories.
Safety Sensors and Devices
Matched photocells, safety edges and warning lights provide safe and compliant operation. We position and test sensors to protect vehicles and pedestrians while minimising nuisance stops.
Access and Intercom
Remotes, keypads and fobs integrate neatly with Key Automation systems, and can be paired with audio or video intercoms for secure access. We configure schedules, auto-close features and access levels to suit homes and strata entries.
Power and Backup
Solar and battery backup options make Key Automation ideal for rural sites and long driveways where mains power is difficult to run. We size backup systems to keep gates moving reliably during outages.
Why We Recommend Key Automation Gate Motors on the Central Coast
Salty and Coastal Sites
We specify stainless fixings, UV-stable photocells and sealed cable glands to protect against sea air. Key Automation motors are compact and low profile, which makes them easier to weatherproof and less visually obtrusive on coastal homes. We also mount control boxes with weather shields and correct drainage for long service life.
Long Driveways and Slopes
Key Automation motors are reliable, energy-efficient and solar-ready, making them a smart option for rural properties and long driveways where mains power is difficult to run. External antennas and long-range remotes keep access easy, while durable racks and rollers ensure smooth travel even on sloping sites.
Power Outages and Blackouts
Selected Key Automation 24 V systems support battery backup, so gates keep moving when the mains power is out. We can program a pedestrian-only opening to conserve battery life, check backups during each service, and ensure manual release points are accessible so you’re never stuck inside or out.
