Bespoke Metal Swing Gates for Your Property

Swing gates offer a secure and attractive entrance for residential driveways, commercial premises and industrial sites. They open inward or outward on hinges and can be manufactured as a single gate leaf or a pair of double gates, depending on the entrance width and layout.

At Bajwa Steel, every project begins with an assessment of the property. Our team considers the entrance width, driveway gradient, available opening space, surrounding walls or pillars and the required level of security before recommending a suitable design.

Our bespoke service covers the complete process, including:

From traditional ornamental designs to modern steel gates with clean lines, each set of swing gates is manufactured to suit the property and the customer’s requirements.

Single and Double Swing Gates

Choose the Right Opening Style

The most suitable gate arrangement depends on the entrance width, driveway space and supporting structure.

Double Swing Gates

A single swing gate consists of one gate leaf hinged from one side of the entrance. It can be suitable for narrower driveways, pedestrian entrances and properties where the gate has enough clear space to open safely.

The supporting post or pillar must be strong enough to carry the weight of the gate, particularly where a wide or solid design is required.

Single Swing Gates

Double swing gates use two leaves that open from the centre. They are commonly selected for residential driveways and wider entrances because each gate leaf is shorter and places less pressure on the supporting hinges.

Double gates can be manufactured in matching, symmetrical designs or adapted to suit uneven entrance widths.

Our team measures the property and explains which arrangement is likely to provide the most practical and reliable result.

Electric Gate Options

Electric Swing Gates for Residential and Commercial Entrances

Electric swing gates combine made-to-measure metalwork with controlled access. They may suit private homes, apartment developments, office entrances, car parks and other properties where frequent manual opening would be inconvenient.
Depending on the agreed project specification, electric gate systems may be compatible with:

Remote-control transmitters
Keypads
Intercom systems
Phone-based access
Timed entry systems
Safety photocells
Manual release mechanisms
Electric Gate Options

The final system depends on the gate size, installation environment and customer requirements.A site survey is necessary before confirming whether electric swing gates are appropriate for the entrance. The survey allows our team to assess the opening area, pillar condition, ground levels and available power arrangements.

Industrial Gate Solutions

Industrial Swing Gates for Secure Site Access

Industrial swing gates provide controlled access to warehouses, workshops, yards, storage facilities, car parks and other commercial premises.

These entrances often require stronger gate frames, wider openings and a design capable of handling regular use. Our team can manufacture industrial gates according to the dimensions, access requirements and security needs of the site.

Industrial gate designs may include:

For larger entrances, the site survey is particularly important. We assess the gate width, opening arc, ground conditions, vehicle movement and required level of access control before finalising the design.

Is a Swing Gate Suitable?

Is a Swing Gate Right for Your Driveway?

Swing gates need a clear opening area. Before recommending this system, our team assesses whether the gate can move safely without obstructing vehicles, buildings, pavements or other parts of the property.

Swing gates may be suitable for:

01 Residential driveways

02 Wide or narrow private entrances

03 Gated developments

04 Commercial car parks

05 Workshops and warehouses

06 Agricultural or storage yards

07 Properties with existing brick pillars

08 Entrances requiring manual or automatic operation

Important factors include:

Opening Space

The driveway must provide enough clear space for the gate leaves to complete their opening arc.

Driveway Gradient

A steep or uneven driveway can affect ground clearance. The slope must be measured before the hinge arrangement and gate height are confirmed.

Supporting Posts and Pillars

Existing pillars need to be inspected to determine whether they are suitable for the weight and movement of the proposed gates.

Opening Direction

Gates commonly open into the property where space allows. They must not create an obstruction outside the property boundary.

Wind Exposure

Large solid gates can be affected by strong wind. The gate design, frame and automation requirements should take local exposure into account.

Automation options should be discussed during the consultation so the fabrication and installation can be planned correctly.

Gate Designs

Traditional and Contemporary Swing Gate Designs

Your driveway gates should complement the property rather than look like an unrelated addition. Bajwa Steel manufactures designs for traditional homes, modern developments, commercial buildings and industrial entrances.

Solid or partially enclosed gates can help reduce visibility into the property. The design must consider gate weight, wind loading and the supporting structure.

Share reference images or design ideas during the consultation so they can be considered before fabrication.

Materials and Finishes

LOCAL METAL GATE FABRICATORS

Swing Gates in Mitcham, South London and Surrey

Bajwa Steel provides made-to-measure swing gates for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Mitcham and surrounding areas.

Whether you need manual driveway gates, an automatic swing gate or heavy-duty industrial swing gates, our team can assess the entrance and recommend a suitable design.

What are swing gates?

Swing gates are hinged gates that open inward or outward in an arc. They can be manufactured as a single gate leaf or as a pair of double gates that meet in the centre.

Do you make swing gates to measure?

Yes. Every gate is manufactured according to the entrance width, available opening space, property style and practical requirements.

Should I choose single or double swing gates?

The right arrangement depends on the entrance width, supporting pillars, available opening space and preferred appearance. Double gates are commonly used for wider residential entrances, while a single gate may suit a narrower opening.

Can you install an automatic swing gate?

A suitable swing gate can often be prepared for automatic operation. The correct motor and access system depend on the gate dimensions, weight, posts, opening direction and expected frequency of use.

What is the difference between automatic and electric swing gates?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Electric swing gates use powered motors to open and close, while “automatic” usually refers to the complete controlled system, including the motor, remote control, keypad or intercom.

Are electric swing gates suitable for homes?

Electric gates can be suitable for homes where controlled access and convenient vehicle entry are required. A site survey is needed to assess the driveway, pillars, power arrangements and available opening space.

Do you manufacture industrial swing gates?

Bajwa Steel can manufacture made-to-measure metal gates for commercial and industrial entrances. The design can be adapted to the entrance width, required security level and frequency of use.

Can industrial swing gates be automated?

Many industrial gate designs can support automation, but the system must be selected according to the gate’s size, weight and frequency of operation. The entrance and power requirements must be assessed first.

Can swing gates be installed on a sloping driveway?

They may be possible, but the gradient and required ground clearance must be measured. Some sloping entrances may need an adapted hinge arrangement or a different type of gate.

Which way should driveway gates open?

Swing gates commonly open into the property where sufficient space is available. The opening direction must not create an obstruction outside the property boundary.

What finishes are available?

Available finishes may include hot-dip galvanising, powder coating in selected RAL colours and traditional painted finishes.

How long do swing gates take to manufacture?

Most bespoke gate projects may take approximately three to five weeks after design approval. The final timeframe depends on the gate size, complexity, finish and installation requirements.
