Frequently Asked Questions About MyGate Automation

What is MyGate Automation?

MyGate Automation is an Italian manufacturer of electric gate automation systems and forms part of the Proteco Group. The range includes automation kits for swing gates, sliding gates and garage doors, along with remote controls, safety accessories and replacement parts. MyGate products are designed to offer dependable performance, easy installation and excellent value.

Which MyGate gate kit is right for me?

The best MyGate automation kit depends on your gate type, the width and weight of each gate leaf, and how frequently the gate will be used. Whether you have a single or double swing gate, or a sliding gate, there's a MyGate system designed to suit your application.

Should MyGate gate automation be professionally installed?

Yes. We always recommend that gate automation systems are installed by a competent, experienced installer. Automated gates are powerful pieces of equipment and must be installed, configured and tested correctly to ensure they operate safely and reliably.

A professional installer will ensure the system  is correctly matched to your gate, fitted in accordance with  the manufacturer's instructions and complies with the relevant UK safety standards. Every MyGate product includes detailed installation and technical documentation to support qualified installers.

If you're looking for an installer in your areaor need advice on choosing the right MyGate system, our team will be happy to help.

What's included in a MyGate gate automation kit?

Most MyGate kits include the gate motors, control panel, remote controls, photocells, mounting brackets and the componenets needed for a standard installation. Depending on your requirements, you may also need additional safety devices such as a second set of photocells, safety edges or flashing lights.

How do I choose the right MyGate gate motor?

Choosing the right gate motor depends on more than just the size and weight of your gate. You'll also need to consider the gate type (swing or sliding), the gate's construction, how frequently it will be used and, for swing gates, the installation geometry.

The hinge position, gate post dimensions and the available space for mounting the motor all influenece which operator is most suitable. These measurements are essential to ensure the motor can open and close the gate correctly and achieve the desired angle.

Can I buy MyGate spare parts and accessories?

Yes. We stock a wide range of genuine MyGate spare parts, replacement remote controls, control boards, receivers, photocells and accessories to keep your automation system operating reliably for years to come.

Gate Automation

Please select what type of automation you require for your gate/s. Double & Single Swing refer to motors which attach to the gate and pillar of a swing motion gate. Double & Single Underground refer to motors which lay beneath the ground which attach to the hinge end of swing motion gates. Choose Sliding if you require lateral moving gate automation and Wheeled if you require a motor which utilises a wheeled motor to drive your gate/s.

Motor Voltage

There are two types of power outputs to consider - 24v & 230v. If you need a higher number of operations (opened/closed more than 5-6 times in an hour) during peak periods such as the morning and evening, then you may wish to consider a 24v system.

24v systems are more suitable for higher operation levels as they tend to run cooler than 230v gate motors. However, they do cost more in relative terms, so if you only need to open or close the gate 1-5 times an hour then a 230v system might prove more cost-efficient.

24v motors tend to be used on commercial premises, whereas 230v tend to be used on standard domestic properties. The exception to this rule is sliding gate motors where the reverse is true - 24v sliding gate automation systems tend to be for domestic use, 230v for more intense use (commercial/communal).

24v systems can draw power from battery backup systems meaning they can still operate during any mains power cut (a 230v or 3 phase system would need to be opened with a manual release key).

24v systems can also utilise solar power units as a means of charging batteries, allowing you to site gate automation in rural and remote locations where mains power is unavailable.

Specifications can be found for each product from their datasheet. Each datasheet is downloadable from each product page on this website.

Weight of Gate

All electric gate motors operate up to a maximum weight. This is so the gate will operate in a reliable and safe manner. It is essential to know the weight of each gate leaf in order to choose the correct motor for you installation. If you do not know the weight of your gate/s, send us a photo along with the gate/s dimensions and we can advise.

Gate Width

As with weight, gate motors are designed for gates within certain dimensions. The most important dimension is the width of the gate. To ensure you select the right motor to operate your gate you must know the width of each gate that requires automation.

Opening Angle

Each motor has a maximum angle to which it can operate to. Therefore it is important to note how far the gate needs to open in order for a vehicle to enter/exit safely.

Daily Use

The amount of times your gate is used per day is a determining factor when deciding on the right motor for your usage. Motors are designed to operate within a certain capacity (operations per day) so choosing a motor compatible with your desired use is essential for its durability. Select from the options below the number of times (open & closure = 1 x operation) the gate/s will be operated on an average day.
