Automated and Manual Gates

Stylish, and Smart Entry Solutions

Scento offers bespoke automated and manual gate systems that provide both visual elegance and robust protection. Gates are the first impression of your home—and when automated, they become a seamless part of your lifestyle. Whether you're seeking a classic swing gate or a high-tech sliding system, we design and install gate solutions that enhance your property’s functionality, privacy, and curb appeal.

More than just an entry point, our gates integrate fully with your smart home. With Control4, you can monitor, open, and automate your gates with ease—from inside your home, remotely via your smartphone, or even automatically based on time of day or your presence.
