Bespoke Electric Gates Designed for Your Property
MPW Electrical Security design and install fully automated gate systems for homes and businesses across Wigan and the wider North West. Whether you're looking to add serious security to a commercial premises or simply want to enhance the kerb appeal and privacy of your home, we'll design a gate system built specifically around your property.
We install sliding gates, swing gates and bi-folding gates in a range of materials including steel, wrought iron, aluminium and timber. Each installation comes complete with a high-quality motor and control unit, integrated access control (keypad, fob, intercom or video entry), and full safety features including obstacle detection sensors, photocells and manual release in the event of a power cut. We work with trusted motor brands including CAME, BFT and FAAC — systems designed to last and engineered for reliability in the British climate.
Every automated gate we install begins with a free site survey. We measure up, assess your ground conditions, discuss your preferred gate style and material, and recommend the right motor for your usage levels. Nothing is off the shelf — we fabricate or source gates to your exact dimensions and specification. Once installed, we test every component, programme your access devices and walk you through everything before we leave. Our aftercare doesn't stop at handover either — we offer ongoing servicing contracts to keep your gates running reliably for years to come.

Which Type of Automated Gate Is Right for You?
We install three main types of automated gate — each suited to different property layouts and aesthetic preferences. Here's a breakdown of each option.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates run along a track parallel to your boundary wall or fence, making them ideal for driveways where space is limited or the ground slopes. A single motor drives the gate leaf smoothly along the track — there's no need for swing clearance, so sliding gates work perfectly on tight urban driveways. Available in steel, aluminium or timber infill panels, and can be fabricated to virtually any width. Sliding gates are also a popular choice for commercial sites and industrial units where a wider opening is required.
Swing Gates
Swing gates are the classic choice for residential driveways — opening inward or outward on hinges, they have a timeless, elegant appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary homes. Available as a single leaf or double leaf (bi-parting), swing gates require sufficient driveway depth for the gate to open into. Each leaf is driven by its own underground or above-ground ram motor. We can match swing gates to your existing boundary style, whether that's box section steel, decorative wrought ironwork, or a timber-infill design.
Bi-Folding Gates
Bi-folding (or speed gates) fold back on themselves as they open, requiring only half the space of a standard swing gate and opening significantly faster — typically in under five seconds. This makes them the preferred choice where driveway depth is limited but you don't want to lose the classic look of a hinged gate. Bi-folding gates are also increasingly popular on commercial sites where fast throughput is important. They're available in steel or aluminium, and can be specified to match any boundary style.
