01
Choosing electric gates for your Harrow driveway
Harrow homes have varied entrance layouts, from compact front drives to wider openings with room for two gate leaves. The right electric gate depends on more than the width between your posts: driveway slope, parking position and the space needed to turn in all matter. A gate should suit the way you use the entrance, not just its appearance from the road.
For a short driveway, a sliding layout can avoid taking up the space a swinging leaf would need. Where there is sufficient clearance, swing gates offer a traditional entrance. If you are comparing electric gate installers in Harrow, start with an on-site assessment rather than choosing a layout from photographs alone.
02
Gate styles, materials and finishes
Modern Gates makes steel and iron gates with powder-coated finishes, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. Swing gates can use single or double leaves, while sliding gates travel along the boundary rather than swinging into the drive. Sliding layouts can suit sloped entrances and tight turns, with tracked or cantilever options discussed during the survey.
A turn and slide gate follows a turning track around a corner; its track layout and space requirements need to be confirmed on site. For a separate walking entrance, a matching pedestrian gate can carry through the driveway gate’s finish, colour and hardware. Choosing the layout first helps you narrow down the style without overlooking practical clearance.
Planning a gate in Harrow?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Automation, intercoms and everyday access
Our made-to-measure gates can be manual or automated with motors. For electric gates in Harrow, think about who needs access each day and how visitors will announce their arrival. Intercoms and access control are available, but you can also choose an automated gate without an intercom.
Sliding gates can pair with remotes, app access and intercoms. A matching pedestrian gate can have a keypad, code lock or smart lock, providing a separate access option for people on foot. Discuss your preferred controls at the survey so the gate layout and access arrangements are considered together.
04
From site survey to made-to-measure installation
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure your opening on site, discuss the gate layout and your manual or automated options, then make the gates to measure and fit them. Modern Gates’ supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; discuss scheduling for your order when arranging the work.
Prices are calculated using width × height × a square-metre rate, with rates shown in the website’s product calculators. Choose either Delivery only or Supply and fit when exploring your options. The calculator is a useful starting point for comparing dimensions, while the site survey establishes the measurements for your made-to-measure gates.

Gate repairs and maintenance near Harrow
Modern Gates also provides gate repairs and maintenance. If you already have electric gates near Harrow, a problem does not automatically mean you need to start by choosing a replacement. Contact us to discuss the existing gates and whether repair or maintenance is the appropriate next step.
When you call, describe what happens when the gate opens or closes, any visible damage and whether the issue involves the gate movement or access controls. If movement appears unsafe, stop using the gate and seek advice rather than repeatedly trying to operate it. Call 020 3576 4733 to discuss your gate.

Questions from Harrow homeowners
Which electric gate layout suits a short driveway in Harrow?
A sliding gate is worth considering because it moves along the boundary rather than swinging into the parking area. It still needs suitable space for its travel. We assess the opening and discuss tracked or cantilever layouts during the site survey.
Can electric gates work on a sloping entrance?
Sliding gates can suit sloped entrances, but the slope and available space need checking on site. Swing gates need enough clearance throughout their movement. The survey helps establish which layout fits your driveway.
How much do made-to-measure electric gates cost?
Pricing uses width × height × the square-metre rate shown in the website’s product calculators. Enter your dimensions and choose Delivery only or Supply and fit to explore pricing for your preferred gate.
How long does supply and fitting take?
Modern Gates’ supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. The process starts with an online site survey request, followed by on-site measuring, made-to-measure manufacture and fitting. Discuss the schedule for your order when arranging the work.
Do I need an intercom with my electric gates?
No. You can choose automated gates with or without an intercom. Intercoms and access control are available if you want an additional way to manage visitors; discuss your everyday access needs during the survey.
