Wrought iron gates Harrow: security starts with the layout
Peace of mind starts with an entrance that works when cars are parked, visitors arrive and everyone is leaving in the morning. Harrow’s mix of semi-detached homes, older properties around Harrow on the Hill and varied frontages towards Pinner means there is no single suitable gate layout. Consider the space inside your boundary, the pavement outside and whether people need a separate route past parked cars.
For a traditional entrance, made-to-measure single and double swing gates are worth considering where there is room for the leaves to open. On a short driveway or sloping approach, sliding driveway gates may be a better starting point, provided there is sufficient space along the boundary. A site survey establishes which arrangement suits your opening rather than relying on appearance alone.
02
Choose the boundary you want to come home to
A gate should sit comfortably beside the house as well as define its entrance. Traditional wrought iron can complement an older frontage, while powder-coated steel offers another option for a more understated design. Modern Gates supplies steel and iron gates with powder-coated finishes; cedar timber is also available as an optional finish. Think about whether you want an open view through the entrance or a more enclosed-looking frontage when comparing designs.
Side access deserves the same attention as the driveway. A matching pedestrian gate can carry the same finish, colour and hardware through to a side passage or garden entrance. Keypad, code lock and smart lock options are available, allowing you to consider pedestrian access separately from vehicle access.

We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Decide how family and visitors will get in
Manual gates keep operation straightforward, while motorised gates can make regular vehicle access more convenient. If you are considering automated wrought iron gates in Harrow, start with your daily routine: how often you drive in and out, where you can wait while the gate opens and how pedestrians will use the entrance. These details matter particularly where the driveway meets a busy pavement or road.
An intercom is optional, not a requirement of automation. It gives you a way to communicate with callers before allowing access. Sliding gates can also pair with remotes and app access. Discuss your preferred controls, gate movement and safety requirements at the survey so that convenience does not become the only consideration.

From a measured opening to a fitted gate
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. Modern Gates, based in Hayes, West London, measures on site, makes the gate to your opening and then fits it. Use the survey to discuss the driveway slope, parked-car clearance, boundary space and whether you want motors or an intercom. The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; discuss timing for your order when arranging the work.
Pricing is calculated using width × height × a square-metre rate. The website’s product calculators let you choose Delivery only or Supply and fit, helping you compare those options before proceeding. If you are looking for wrought iron gate installers in Harrow and want to talk through the process first, call Modern Gates on 020 3576 4733.
05
Keep an existing entrance working properly
A gate that drags, sticks or behaves unpredictably needs attention rather than extra force. Modern Gates offers gate repairs and maintenance, so a problem with an existing entrance does not have to begin with choosing a replacement. Explain whether the issue involves the gate’s movement, its controls or visible damage when you enquire.
Powder coating provides a finished surface, but it is still sensible to look for damage and keep the gate’s movement area clear. If an automated gate moves unexpectedly or you are concerned about its operation, stop using it and seek advice. Reliable everyday use is an important part of feeling comfortable with your entrance.

Questions from Harrow homeowners
Will gates work on a sloping driveway in Harrow on the Hill?
Potentially, but the slope and available space need checking. Sliding gates can suit sloped entrances because they do not swing across the driveway. Modern Gates discusses tracked or cantilever layouts at the survey and measures the opening before making the gate.
Can I have gates if my car parks close to the pavement?
A short driveway needs careful planning around both the parked car and the gate’s movement. Sliding gates may suit the entrance if there is enough boundary space. Where a corner layout is relevant, turn-and-slide gates are another option to discuss at the survey.
Do wrought iron gates have to be automated?
No. Modern Gates offers manual or automated gates, with or without an intercom. Choose according to how you use the driveway and how you want family members and visitors to gain access.
How much do made-to-measure gates cost?
Prices use width × height × a square-metre rate, shown in the website’s product calculators. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit when comparing options. On-site measurement establishes the dimensions for your made-to-measure gate.
How long does supply and fitting take in Harrow?
Modern Gates gives a supply-and-fit lead time of 14–28 days. The process is an online survey request, on-site measurement, made-to-measure manufacture and fitting. Discuss the timing for your particular order when enquiring.
