Hinged gate
The hinged gate opens on one or two panels pivoting on hinges fixed to posts or pillars. It suits entrances with sufficient space in front for the panel to open. A classic and reliable solution, it adapts to all access widths.

Which type of gate or fence do you need?
Access gate, garden fence or boundary fence: needs vary widely and so do solutions. Discover the main options available from menuiserie.lu network professionals.
Sliding gate
The sliding gate glides along the fence on a ground or suspended rail, without encroaching on the space in front of the entrance. It is particularly suited to sloped driveways or narrow entrances where a hinged gate would lack clearance.
Manual gate
The manual gate requires no motorisation or electrical supply. Economical, robust and with no motor-related maintenance, it suits secondary access points or entrances used occasionally.
Motorised gate
The motorised gate is fitted with an electric motor allowing opening by remote control, keypad or smartphone app. Recommended for daily use, it provides comfort and security and can be installed new or retrofitted to an existing gate.
Garden fence
The garden fence delimits green spaces and defines the perimeter of a residential property. It can be open (mesh, bars) to preserve light and visibility, or closed (panels) to ensure privacy and protection.
Property or land boundary fence
Taller and more robust, the property or land fence fully delimits a house, field or commercial premises. It can integrate pedestrian gates, vehicle access gates and entry control systems.
Materials and finishes
The choice of material determines the durability, aesthetics, maintenance and budget of your gate or fence. Each material has distinct advantages depending on context and the style of your property.
Metal (wrought iron and steel)
Wrought iron and steel offer a classic and robust appearance, ideal for traditional properties. The structure is particularly strong and can be shaped with ornaments or decorative spikes depending on the desired style.
Indicative range: 150 to 400 euros per installed linear metre.
Strengths
- High solidity and longevity
- Classic and elegant appearance
- Many decorative options (motifs, spikes)
- Compatible with stone or concrete pillars
Points to watch
- Anti-rust treatment essential
- Repaint every 5 to 10 years to maintain protection
- Heavier to operate without motorisation
Finishes, colours and customisation
Most materials are available in the full RAL colour range. Aluminium and steel benefit from powder-coating for a uniform and durable finish; wood can be painted, stained or left natural. Customisation options include decorative post caps, open-slat panels to balance privacy and ventilation, mesh inserts between bars, or integrated letterbox. The height and spacing of slats or bars can be adapted to the desired level of privacy or security.
Installation, replacement and automation
New installation
- On a plot without existing fencing, professionals take measurements and carry out the full installation: setting posts, anchoring in the ground (cast concrete or base plates), fitting panels or gate and adjusting panels. Adaptation to the terrain profile is assessed during the initial visit.
Replacing an existing gate or fence
- If existing posts or pillars are in good condition, replacing only the panel or gate is often possible, limiting the cost of the intervention. If posts are degraded or the material is fully changed, the professional carries out a complete replacement and assesses the situation during their visit.
Adapting to the existing entrance
- Replacing a gate in an entrance with stone pillars or an existing wall fence requires precise measurements for a custom panel. The professional adapts hinges, hardware and locks to the actual configuration of your entrance.
Motorisation and automation
- Motorisation can be integrated when installing a new gate or added later to an existing gate (hinged or sliding). Available systems include remote control, keypad, smartphone access and anti-crush safety sensors. Wiring and power supply should be planned from the new installation.
Maintenance and durability
- Aluminium is virtually maintenance-free throughout its lifespan. Steel must be repainted every 5 to 10 years to maintain its anti-corrosion protection. Wood requires staining or painting every 5 to 8 years. Preventive maintenance of motorisation (lubrication, adjustment) significantly extends its lifespan.
How to choose the right gate or fence?
Security
A motorised gate with electric lock and access control system strengthens the security of your property. Combine an appropriate fence height and a certified gate for a high level of protection.
Privacy
Solid-slat panels offer complete privacy, while mesh or bars preserve brightness and visual openness. The height and spacing of slats can be adjusted to your preferences.
Aesthetics
The gate is the first visible element of your property. Its style should harmonise with the facade, the home's materials and the garden's overall ambiance. A well-conceived project adds value to the property.
Budget
Prices vary greatly depending on the length to fence, the chosen material and whether motorisation is included. A precise quote including installation and finishes allows the project to be framed before any commitment.
Use and frequency
For daily access (several comings and goings per day), motorisation quickly becomes cost-effective in terms of comfort and mechanism durability. For occasional or secondary access, a manual gate remains the simplest solution.
Site constraints
A sloped terrain requires a sliding gate or a hinged gate with angled panels. The nature of the soil (loose, rocky, clay) determines the type of post anchoring. The available space along the fence determines the possible rail length for a sliding installation.
Hinged, sliding or motorised: which to choose?
Compare the three main configurations to identify the one that matches your project and terrain.
| Criterion | Hinged | Sliding | Motorised |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installation complexity | Simple | Moderate (rail and posts) | High (wiring + motor) |
| Clearance needed in front of entrance | Essential | Not required | Depending on type (hinged or sliding) |
| Sloped terrain | Panels adjustable at an angle | Ideal (slides independently) | Compatible depending on motorisation |
| Indicative budget | From 800 euros installed | From 1,200 euros installed | From 1,800 euros installed |
| Maintenance | Hinge lubrication | Rail and roller cleaning | Motor service every 2 to 3 years |
| Daily comfort | Good (manual) | Good (manual or motorisable) | Excellent (remote control) |
