Why choose slide gate?
Not sure if you've got a slide gate?
Slide gates operate by gliding along a linear track on the ground, using wheels to move sideways rather than swinging open. Unlike swing gates, which open on hinges and require a clear arc of space to operate, slide gates retract neatly along a fence line or wall. Whether you have a wide entryway or a compact driveway, slide gates offer a space-saving solution that’s both practical and secure.

Automating your slide gate with a Merlin opener means unlocking personalised access that fits your family’s lifestyle. With a wide range of compatible accessories - from smart connectivity and safety features to multiple remote-control options - you can customise your home access for convenience, security, and ease of use.
