1st Choice Installs Driveway Security Gates in North London

In North London driveways matter. They provide a parking space for family cars, but they also contribute immensely to the aesthetics of your property. No matter the space you have available, driveway security gates in North London offer instant kerb appeal, protect your family, and enhance the security of vehicles parked outside your home.

The 1st Choice Security Systems team is kept busy designing bespoke automatic gates for a range of residential driveways across North London. For two decades we have been offering clients a one-stop-shop for the design and installation of driveway security gates. We also offer fully integrated security features such as residential CCTV and audio or video door entry systems.


Securing Your Family and Your Property

Driveway security gates provide a first line of defence, with a clear message to would-be intruders that security is taken seriously. This has been found to be an effective deterrent against opportunist burglars, and doorstop scammers

Our North London clients also benefit from the fact that driveway security gates can increase the value of their home, as well as its security. A professionally designed and installed gate can drive up the property price by 5%.

1st Choice trained security engineers will make a site visit, and carry out a free, no obligation security audit on your property. This allows us to take into account any existing vulnerabilities when making our recommendations.

How to Decide On the Functionality of Your Driveway Gates

The size and depth of your driveway has a large part to play in determining the functionality of your driveway security gates. The goal of 1st Choice designers, though, is to deliver on clients’ preferences wherever possible. Our driveway security gates in North London offer 4 functionalities:

  1. Swing Gate. This popular option requires a driveway depth equivalent to the arc of the gate. The surface of the driveway also needs to be flat to prevent catching.
  2. Bifold Gate. A swing gate for small driveways. A bi-fold gate is made up of 4 rather than 2 panels which fold in on themselves when opening. This halves the arc of the gate.
  3. Sliding Gate. If your driveway is shallow, or built on an incline, a sliding gate is an excellent solution. It runs on a track which extends into the area on either side of the drive.
  4. Telescopic Gate. Where a sliding gate is preferred but there’s limited space available, 1st Choice engineers can create a telescopic driveway gate. Panels slide parallel to each other as they open, with reduced lateral space requirements.

Choosing the Material For Your Security Gates

It makes sense that driveway security gates should look serious, but they don’t need to look austere. The 1st Choice team create driveway security gates for North London homes in the following materials:

  • Wooden Driveway Gates wood is an extremely popular choice and there’s a range of textures, colours, and prices to choose from.
  • Metal Security Gates we design filigree wrought iron gates, corrosion resistant steel gates, and elegant, contemporary aluminium gates with a powder coat finish.
