Our mission is to gain mastery of design, setup & automation of gates - from residential to industrial - and leverage our expertise to source and create the best hardware and tech to power them. We do this by taking a comprehensive view of the install process and considering our products as an integrated gate system, rather than just a cluster of motors, wheels, rollers & hinges.

Our mission is to be at the forefront of research and development, working with the worlds most innovative companies to craft products in response to customer needs: simple solutions that deliver the job beautifully, are easy to install, save time and money and suit customers' needs in design & performance.

Our mission is to create a movement where the work of gatesmiths is appreciated, respected and admired.

For those who take pride in the perimeters they create, we welcome you to join our tribe!

Back in the late 90's our local fencesmiths and gatesmiths just weren't getting looked after very well. There was a gap in the market between expensive custom engineered solutions and quality affordable hardware. So we start innovating our own designs starting with our Lynx brand chain-link and rural fence fittings. Over the years, we extended our range to include agency brands that passed the standards of innovation and quality.

But there were still gaps in the range... Problematic driveways sparked design ideas and gave birth to our Boss and Tonkatrak ranges of gate hardware. We also needed a better gate motor, which in turn drove us to collaborate with Roger, a global leader in gate automation technology. Fast forward to 2023, our network now stretches multiple branches across both New Zealand and Australia.
