From our installer

“We’ve installed LiftMaster slide operators on everything from small home gates to 90-foot industrial entries.”

JeffGate Installation Manager, Eagle Automatic Gate & Door

Slide or swing?

Should I get a slide gate or a swing gate?

It mostly comes down to space and slope. A slide gate needs room along the fence for the gate to roll back, about the width of the opening, but no swing room, so it works on short or sloped driveways and handles wind well. A swing gate needs clear space to swing into but no side room, and it often looks more traditional. Call our specialist and we’ll look at your driveway and tell you which fits.
