Metal Driveway Gates – The Charlton Low

£929.00

  • How to Measure:

    Take three measurements, top, middle and bottom. Take the shortest of the three measurements. Reduce width dependant on set-up. 50mm if hanging on rear face of post or 150mm if hanging to inner of post.

    *WIDTH

    Actual gate width for both sides added together. For example, if you selected a width from the drop down of 10ft (3m 048mm), you would receive 2 x gates at 5ft wide (1m 524mm).

    *HEIGHT

    Taken to the highest point of the gate. We recommend leaving a gap of 25mm (1") clearance between the bottom edge of the gate and ground level.

    METAL POSTS

    Both opening latch and adjustable hinges included free of charge with each gate.

    ADDING AUTOMATION?

    Extra support for the gate is needed if planning on automating your gates. This is due to the force of the automation to the gate. Standard rails (over time) will fail. Add either a strengthened middle rail if attaching automation arms to middle of the gate (also know as above ground automation), or bottom wrap around hinges if using underground automation.

Product information

Description

THE CHARLTON LOW DRIVEWAY GATE:

Stylish, secure and modern driveway gate design. The Charlton features a flat top with horizontal 40mm x 20mm rectangle bars set within a deep 40mm x 40mm framework to create an architectural gate design. Manufactured by hand in the UK by skilled craftsmen using the finest materials to provide ultimate durability and quality.

All of our gates come complete with a 10 year workmanship guarantee, adjustable hinges, latch, 2 x drop bolts.


How to Measure: Take three measurements (top, middle and bottom) horizontally between the pillars. Reduce size by 50mm (2″) if mounting hinges to back of post/ pillar or 150mm (6″) if mounting hinges to inner face of posts/ pillars. See “How to Measure” for more information


Gate Furniture Included (hinges etc): 4 x adjustable hinges, hinge pins, latch and drop bolts included with each gate. As standard, the position of the hinge will be 6″ (150mm) from the bottom edge of gate and 6″ (150mm) from top edge of gate. If you require these to be different (if for example you already have pins set into a post/ pillar), please call us.


Size of Gate not listed? No problem, call us with your exact size.

How to Measure

Calculating gate width with existing pillars or posts in place.

Take THREE measurements between the pillars/ posts. Across the top, middle and bottom. Make a note of the SMALLEST measurement.

REDUCE 150mm (approx. 6″) from your lowest measurement.

If adding underground automation, reduce width by 110mm.

Specification

The depth, thickness and quality of materials used in the construction of metal gates is a key factor on how the gate will look and perform. We only use the finest steel that’s thicker than industry standard. This ultimately produces a long lasting gate that really does “make an entrance”.

GATE MATERIAL
HANGING STYLE 40mm x 40mm
BOTTOM & TOP RAIL 40mm x 40mm
MAIN INFILL BARS 40mm x 20mm Box
Size Guide

Width of Gate: Taken as if both sides were touching each other. For example, a width from the drop down menu of 10ft (3m 048mm) would be 2 x 5ft wide. If you are measuring a gap between existing posts/ pillars, we recommend reducing the opening size by 6″ (150mm) to allow for hinge/ pins and centre clearance.


Height of Gate: Taken to the highest point of each gate. We recommend allowing a 50mm (2″) clearance between the bottom edge of gate and driveway (as long as the drive is level). If you require a more exact height, please contact us to order.

Hinge Mounting Options

Metal driveway gates are always fitted to pins mounted on metal posts, walls or timber. You simply lift the gate on to the pins to hang.

We offer three different options:

Option 1: (free with gate)

Adjustable gate hinges. Hook on plates.

Included free with gate. Hinge pin plates with adjustable bolts. These can be attached to existing walls, timber posts or metal posts.

Please note: As we do not know what material these plates are being connected to, fixings are not included.

Option 2:

Metal posts for driveway gates

Purchase new metal posts from us with your gate. The posts will have the hinge pins welded to them. Due to the sheer weight of metal gates, these posts are designed to be fitted in the ground. As standard, the position of the hinge will be 6″ (150mm) from the bottom edge of gate and 6″ (150mm) from top edge of gate. The colour of your metal posts will match the colour you have chosen for the gate.

Option 3:

Gate pins on pillars

Your posts or pillars already have pins in place. We can manufacture your new gate so that it can drop directly on to existing gate pins. Please call our team to order (0800 6124 965). They will explain in detail what measurements we need to take.

Hanging Options

There are two ways that you can mount your metal driveway gates, inner face of the posts/pillars or on rear face of the posts/ pillars. Most people opt to have the gate hung using the inner face method (figure 1 below).

Figure 1:

Driveway Gate Mounting

Hinge plates mounted to inner face of post/ pillar. Gate to be mounted central between the posts.

REDUCE 150mm (approx. 6″) from your lowest measurement for gap clearance.

If adding underground automation, reduce the lowest measurement by 110mm.

Figure 2:

How-to-calculate-gap-size-on-metal-driveway-gates

Gates to open towards driveway. Hinge plates mounted to rear face of post/ pillar. Back edge of gate sits flush with the back edge of post/ pillar.

REDUCE 50mm (2″) from your lowest measurement.

Gate Features

PREMIUM FRAME SYSTEM

For durability, aesthetics and performance our gates are constructed using thicker materials.

Your gate your colour banner
Any powder coat finish being either the standard primer finish or the long life option will need regular maintenance. We would expect to see over a period of time rusting around the welds due to tiny little air holes in the weld itself, allowing water in and rust staining out. We would also expect to see rust and rust staining where any screws or fixings have been used. The reason for this is where the fixing goes into the hole it can damage the paint where it has gone through leaving bare metal exposed. Rust can also appear where there is damage, chips or scratches on the metal.
It is important to regularly clean the metal down with warm soapy water and where needed sand down and  touch up the frame with metal paint over any rust spots and areas. This will help with the longevity of your product and keep it looking its best.
