Installing Automatic Doors & Gates

GGS offers installation services for automatic doors and gates, motors, and control systems — starting with a site visit and preparing mounting points, through calibrating motion and testing operation before handover.

Installation requirements are defined by the product type, entrance dimensions, site condition, and the required operating method.

A Proper Installation Starts With a Site Visit

Product quality alone isn't enough for stable operation — measurement accuracy, straight mounting points, power readiness, and track safety all affect the door or gate's performance after installation. The site visit helps determine:

1 The entrance's actual dimensions.
2 The door or gate's movement space.
3 Motor and component mounting locations.
4 Power source readiness.
5 Required civil or metal work.
6 The suitable control method.
7 Operating and safety accessories.
8 Obstacles that must be addressed before execution.

What Does the Installation Service Include?

1 Reviewing the Product & Site

Confirming the product's dimensions and specs suit the entrance, usage rate, and project nature.

2 Preparing Mounting Points

Defining and preparing the bases, tracks, or supports required per the door or gate type.

3 Installing the Door or Gate

Mounting the frame and moving parts, and calibrating alignment, balance, and the motion path.

4 Installing the Motor

Mounting the suitable motor and connecting it to the motion mechanism per product instructions and site requirements.

5 Connecting the Control System

Connecting the control unit, operating means, and approved accessories within the project scope.

6 Programming & Calibration

Setting the open/close limits, motion speed, and the operating settings the system supports.

7 Testing Operation

Testing the door or gate multiple times and confirming the control means respond, before handover.

What Should Be Prepared Before Installation?

Requirements vary by product, but the basic preparations may include:

1 Completing construction work around the entrance.
2 Confirming dimensions and levels are correct.
3 Providing a suitable power source.
4 Preparing connection routes.
5 Clearing obstacles from the work area.
6 Confirming the existing frame or gate is sound.
7 Defining the entry and exit direction.
8 Approving the control method and accessories.
9 Coordinating with other parties working on site.

Don't start installation work before confirming the site is ready — construction or electrical issues can affect execution quality and the handover date.

Installing a Motor on an Existing Door or Gate

Many existing doors and gates can be converted to automatic operation, but their mechanical condition must be checked before installing the motor. The inspection includes:

1 The door's weight and dimensions.
2 Ease of manual motion.
3 Track and wheel condition.
4 Hinge and post condition.
5 Door alignment and absence of friction.
6 The motor mounting space.
7 The expected operating rate.
8 Motor compatibility with the door type.

If the door moves with difficulty, the mechanical cause must be addressed first — installing a stronger motor doesn't fix a damaged track, wheels, or hinges.

Stages of Executing the Installation Service

1 Sending Request Details

Send the product type, your city, photos of the entrance or gate, and approximate dimensions if available.

2 Site Visit

The entrance is inspected and mounting, power, and additional work requirements are defined.

3 Approving the Scope of Work

Installation work, components, accessories, and cost are defined before execution begins.

4 Preparing the Site

The agreed mounting bases, connections, and civil or metal work are carried out.

5 Installation & Programming

The product and motor are mounted, and the motion system and control means are calibrated.

6 Testing & Handover

The open/close cycle and operating means are tested, then the basic usage method is explained to the system's responsible person.

Why Does Testing Operation Matter?

Testing after installation helps verify:

1 The door or gate's smooth motion.
2 The stability of mounting points.
3 The correctness of the open/close limits.
4 The remote or control means' responsiveness.
5 The proper function of sensors and accessories.
6 The absence of friction or unusual noise.
7 The system's readiness for use per the project scope.

If any fault appears during testing, it's addressed before handover is completed.

Automatic Door Installation Prices

Installation cost varies based on:

The door or gate type. The product's dimensions and weight. The site's condition and readiness. The motor and control system type. The number of entrances. Civil or electrical work. Operating and safety accessories. The need to remove an old system. Repairs needed on the existing door. The project city and execution scope.

For accurate pricing, send a photo of the entrance, the product type, and the project location, and specify whether the product is new or existing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The service covers roller shutter doors, sectional doors, roll-up doors, glass door operators, car barriers, hydraulic bollards, and metal gate motors.
Yes, an independent installation request can be made, provided the product is reviewed and confirmed to suit the site and can be executed correctly.
Yes, in many cases, after checking the gate's weight, dimensions, mechanical condition, and the motor mounting space.
Electrical work is defined within the project scope after the site visit; some wiring may be another party's responsibility depending on the agreement and site condition.
Duration varies by product type, scope of work, site readiness, and the need for foundation or extra modifications, so it's determined after the site visit.
Yes — the required preparations must be completed, a safe work area provided, and dimensions, levels, and the power source confirmed before execution begins.
The open/close cycle and control means are tested, then the system is handed over with an explanation of basic operation and initial care requirements.
Yes, GGS offers maintenance and inspection services, which can be requested when a fault appears or the system needs routine maintenance.
