Sliding gate entries for your driveway provide a safe and efficient way to secure the entryway to your property. Sliding gates come in many stylish designs, and you can find a diverse range from Hörmann, with the cantilever style being the easiest to install and also the safest and easiest model to automate.

A cantilever style sliding gate never actually touches the ground, since it rides on rollers through a channel that's welded to the gate. To install this type of sliding gate, you simply mount posts and bolt on the rollers. This style is easy to automate because there is little friction and the gate will not hit objects or debris on the ground. It is also safer for children and pets since there are no wheels on the ground to cause an accident. Some manufacturers of sliding gates allow customers to add personal touches and customization to their gate design as well.
