What it involves

A swing gate is the classic, time-tested option: one or two leaves that pivot on hinges fixed to the pillars or the façade. It is still the most practical choice when the entrance opens onto a garden, a plot or a lane, when the garage ceiling leaves no room for overhead tracks and when you want a strong, simple door. It is also the usual door on the garages of single-storey houses.

We make them to measure in our Elche factory from galvanised, lacquered steel, with bars so you can see the garden, solid sheet for privacy or slats that let the air through. We work out the weight and width of each leaf, fit adjustable hinges, stops and bolts, and suggest the motor that suits it best: articulated arm, linear or buried underground.

We solve the typical problems with these gates: leaves that scrape the ground on sloping driveways, narrow pillars with no room for a standard motor, large leaves that move in the wind and entrances without enough depth for them to swing inwards. Before we build anything, we explain how your gate will open and how much space it will take up.

Swing gates and doors: jobs we do

These are the jobs we are asked for most. If yours looks like one of them, call us and we will tell you how we would handle it.

Double swing garage doors

This is the most requested layout for garages entered straight from the street or from a courtyard. Splitting the opening into two leaves shortens the swing of each one, so they need less depth to open and put less strain on the hinges. We build the leaves on a steel tube frame, clad them with sheet, slats or bars and hang them on adjustable hinges so they close flush with no gaps. We add a central stop, a drop bolt on the fixed leaf and a bottom seal that keeps out dust and rainwater. If the garage opens onto the pavement, the leaves open inwards.

Swing gates for driveways and villa entrances

The gate is the first thing people see of your home, so it has to work well and look good from the street. We make double swing gates wide enough for the car, matched to the height of your existing wall or fence, and adapt them to brick, stone or steel pillars. We design the pattern of the bars, sheet or slats to follow the line of the boundary, and plan the cable routes for the motor and its accessories so that no conduit is left on show.

Swing gates with underground motors

An underground motor sits hidden in a foundation box beneath each leaf, so nothing shows on the pillars or the leaves and the entrance looks clean. It is the option for designer gates, for pillars where an arm motor will not fit and for leaves that have to open almost flat against the wall. We do the building work for the boxes, level them, give them a drain so rainwater does not collect and fit the drive arm that moves each leaf. We recommend it for well-drained entrances and medium-weight leaves.

Swing gates with articulated arm or linear motors

Arm motors are fixed to the pillar and the leaf, stay in view and are easy to service. The articulated arm suits thick pillars or ones with a large distance between the hinge and the corner; the linear screw-drive motor is more compact and pushes the leaf firmly, so it works very well on long or heavy leaves. We measure the hinge position before choosing, because that measurement determines the opening angle and whether the motor runs without strain. We mount them on welded or bolted brackets, properly aligned with the swing of the leaf.

Single swing garage door for narrow openings

When the opening is narrow or you only need room for a small car, a motorbike or a garden trailer, a single leaf is simpler, needs just one motor and leaves the way clear from side to side, with no central stop. We build it with a reinforced frame and an internal diagonal brace so it does not sag over time, adjustable heavy-duty hinges and, if the leaf is long, a support wheel. We calculate the swing radius so it does not hit steps, plant pots or the car parked inside, and choose the opening side with you.

More jobs in this service

  • Swing garage doors for townhouses

    In village houses and single-storey homes, the garage usually has a narrow opening in a façade worth preserving. We make double swing doors to fit that opening, opening inwards, with a key lock and a design in keeping with the house.

  • Swing gate with unequal leaves for car and pedestrian

    We split the opening into one wide leaf and one narrow one: you open just the small one to walk in with the shopping or the bike, and both when the car comes in. Each leaf has its own lock and can have its own motor.

  • Pedestrian swing gate for a driveway entrance

    We make the single-leaf pedestrian gate that sits beside the driveway gate, with its own frame, lock and handle, so you can walk in without opening the large one. We leave it ready for an electric lock and for the letterbox on the pillar.

  • Swing gate with a built-in wicket door

    When there is no room for a separate pedestrian gate, we build a wicket door into one of the large leaves. You walk in without moving the whole gate or starting the motor, which is very handy for entrances you use several times a day.

  • Swing gate for a sloping driveway or ramp

    If the ground rises towards the inside, standard leaves scrape as they open. We solve it with rising hinges that lift the leaf as it swings, by cutting the bottom of the leaf to follow the slope or by making it open outwards when there is room.

  • Wide swing gates for motorhomes, boats and trailers

    To get a motorhome, a boat trailer or a high-top van through, we make double gates with a wider clear opening and reinforced frames so the leaves do not sag under their own weight. We choose hinges and motors for that size and leave the opening without a top crossbar.

  • Swing gates for country houses and fincas

    For country houses and fincas with a dirt track, we make sturdy gates with bars or mesh, steel pillars anchored in concrete blocks, a drop bolt and leaves designed to cope with dust, sun and wind without sagging.

  • Swing gates for narrow or very thick pillars

    The distance between the hinge and the corner of the pillar decides which motor fits and how far the leaf opens. We measure your pillars and, when needed, move the hinges out on a plate or switch to an underground motor so the gate opens fully without strain.

  • Manual swing gate without a motor

    If you prefer a gate without a motor, we supply it with a drop bolt on the fixed leaf, a central stop, a key lock and a handle, and with well-aligned hinges so you can move it with one hand without it dragging.

  • Swing gates that open flat against the wall

    When you want the leaves out of the way in the courtyard or garden, we fit hinges and motors that open further than a standard gate, until each leaf folds back against the wall or fence and the way is completely clear.

  • Swing doors with a fixed transom for tall openings

    If your garage opening is taller than it needs to be, we close off the top with a fixed transom panel and keep the leaves at a manageable height. They weigh less, put less load on the hinges and the entrance looks well proportioned.

  • Swing gates with steel posts where there is no wall

    If your plot has only a hedge, wire fencing or nothing at all at the entrance, we put up steel posts anchored to a concrete footing to hang the leaves. They stay firm, aligned and ready to take motors, bolts and the central stop.

  • Electric lock to stop the wind opening a swing gate

    Large solid sheet leaves act like a sail in the wind and can strain the motor. An electric lock on the leaf or in the ground keeps them firmly shut and releases itself the moment you give the command to open.

What you get with us

  • Factory-direct prices

    Because we make the gate ourselves, you pay no middlemen, and we build it to the real measurements of your pillars, your ground and the swing space, rather than adapting standard sizes.

  • Written warranty

    You get a written 3-year warranty on the gate and 5 years on the motor, so you know from day one exactly what is covered.

  • Compliant with UNE-EN 13241-1

    Our doors comply with UNE-EN 13241-1, the product standard for garage doors, and we adjust the motor's closing force before handing the gate over to you.

  • Own team, no subcontractors

    The same people who build the gate install and adjust it at your home, so nobody improvises measurements on site and you know who to call if anything is not right.

How we do it, step by step

  1. Site visit and measuring

    We come to your home, measure the opening, the pillars and the slope of the ground, and see which way the leaves can open. You get a free quote within 24 hours.

  2. Gate design

    Together we choose the number of leaves, the infill, the pattern, the colour and the type of motor, and we show you how it will open and how much space it will take up.

  3. Made in Elche

    We build the leaves in our factory from galvanised steel, with treated welds and a lacquered finish, and size the hinges and reinforcements to the weight of each leaf.

  4. Installed in one day

    Installation takes one day: we fix the hinges and stops, hang the leaves, fit the motors and leave the gate opening and closing smoothly.

  5. Adjustment and handover

    We set the force and the limit switches, check that the leaves close flush and take the time to show you how to use the gate and its remote controls.

Swing gates and doors in Alicante province

In the province of Alicante, the swing gate is the most common choice for plots and houses with gardens: villas in Vistahermosa and Cabo de las Huertas, urbanisations such as Bonalba in Mutxamel and country houses in the rural districts of Elche, such as Perleta, Valverde or Matola. There the gate stands outdoors all year round, with long hours of sunshine and, near the sea, salt air, so we make it from galvanised, lacquered steel with stainless fixings. In the old town centres of Aspe, Crevillent or Elche the norm is different: a double-leaf garage door in a narrow opening that opens inwards.

The local weather also decides the motor. In a gota fría downpour, an underground motor box without a drain fills with water in minutes, so on streets that flood we prefer arm motors or build the box with an outlet to the drains or a soakaway. When the levante wind blows, a solid sheet leaf acts like a sail: we reinforce it, add an electric lock and, if you want less strain on the motor, suggest slats or bars that let the air through.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most about swing gates and doors.

Swing gates and doors: your questions

Arm or underground motor: which is better for a swing gate?

An arm motor is simpler to install and service, handles long, heavy leaves and is not affected by water on the ground. An underground motor is invisible, leaves the entrance tidier and works on pillars where an arm will not fit, but it needs building work and good drainage. On our visit we measure the pillars, work out the weight of the leaves and see how your street behaves when it rains, then recommend one or the other and explain why.

Can my swing gate open outwards onto the street?

If the entrance opens onto the pavement or a public street, the leaves normally open inwards so they do not block pedestrians or traffic, and local by-laws usually require it. When the gate opens onto a private lane or your own plot, it can open outwards, which helps if there is a ramp or little space inside. We check this with you on the visit.

How much space does a swing gate need to open?

Each leaf sweeps a quarter circle with a radius equal to its width. A four-metre gate with two equal leaves needs about two metres of clear depth behind it. If steps, a ramp or the parked car mean you do not have that space, we split the opening into unequal leaves, change the opening direction or suggest a sliding gate.

Can my brick pillars hold a swing gate?

The weight depends on the size and the infill: a solid sheet leaf weighs considerably more than a barred one of the same width. Hollow brick pillars hold heavy-duty hinges poorly, so we use chemical anchors on solid pillars, reinforce them with an embedded steel section or put up new metal posts. We check this on the visit so the leaf does not sag over time.

Swing or sliding gate for my driveway?

A swing gate needs clear depth behind it for the leaves to turn; a sliding gate needs a stretch of wall or fence to one side as long as the opening. If you have free space to the side and little depth, a sliding gate fits better; if the side is taken up by the pedestrian gate, a tree or the plot boundary, a swing gate does. We decide by measuring your entrance, not by eye.
