Electric gates in Armagh, in short
For homes, orchards and businesses across Armagh, a Coast Data Security visit starts with a no-cost survey before any gate is recommended. CAME or BFT motors are fitted with safety edges and photocells built in, and the finished gate is set up with fobs, a keypad, intercom and smartphone control so it works the way you need it to.
Orchard County entrances
Gates that suit Armagh's orchards and farmland.
Armagh is known as the Orchard County, and a good share of our work here is on the farm lanes running through the apple orchards around Loughgall, Richhill and Markethill. These entrances are usually long, often on a slight rise, and rarely have power anywhere near the gate itself. A sliding gate on a cantilever rail, run from a solar kit rather than a buried cable across an orchard, tends to be the practical choice and keeps groundworks to a minimum.
Closer to the city, on the Newry Road, the Portadown Road and the newer housing off the Friary Road, driveways are shorter and closer to neighbouring properties, so an underground swing motor or a slim sliding gate suits better than a large gate swinging out over the pavement. We also fit gates for business premises on the Armagh Business Park and along the Loughgall Road, usually with a keypad and logged access rather than a shared fob.
A cathedral city
Building near listed Armagh streets.
Armagh's city centre sits around the Mall and the two cathedrals, with a concentration of Georgian buildings and a conservation area that covers much of the historic core. A new gate on a listed property or inside the conservation area needs materials and a design that suit the street, and we discuss this with you before any timber or steel is ordered, so the finished gate looks right against a period frontage rather than out of place.
Permission is typically needed once a gate or fence exceeds one metre beside a public road, or two metres elsewhere, with Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council as the local authority. Adding a motor to an existing gate falls outside that rule, but we raise it anyway at the survey, particularly inside the conservation area where boundary changes get closer attention.

Why us in Armagh
Security work across Armagh, not just gates.
Gate automation sits alongside our CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and WiFi work in Armagh, so a farm, a period house or a business unit can have the gate intercom, an entrance camera and the alarm running from one app. Every installer is fully qualified and comprehensive public liability insurance covers every job. Once the gate is working, we walk you through the controls, the safety devices and the manual release.
How it works in Armagh
From your call to a working gate
- 1
Free survey in Armagh
We travel out to your farm, home or business, measure the opening, check the ground and the run-in, and note where power could reach the gate or whether a solar kit makes more sense.
- 2
A price in black and white
The proposal that follows names the motor, the gate leaves, the access kit and the safety devices individually, with a total figure agreed before a single post goes in the ground.
- 3
One organised visit
Foundations, a track or post bases, cable runs and either a mains feed or solar kit are scheduled so the building and electrical work is completed together, not in separate trips.
- 4
Commissioned properly
With the motor, control board and safety devices fitted, the whole system is programmed and run through a force test before we call the job finished.
- 5
A full walkthrough
We talk you through the manual release, the fobs, the app and the intercom before leaving, and stay on hand afterwards for servicing or adding a keypad.

Electric gates in Armagh, your questions.
Answers for the city, the orchards and the surrounding villages.
How much will an electric gate cost in Armagh?
Every quote follows a free survey of the property, because the gate, the motor and the access devices you choose all shape the final figure. You are given an itemised written price with nothing owed for asking.
Do you cover the orchard areas as well as the city?
Yes. Loughgall, Richhill, Markethill, Keady and the lanes between the orchards are regular jobs for us, alongside the city centre, the Mall area and the housing off the Portadown and Newry Roads.
Are your engineers fully qualified and insured?
Yes. All installers are fully qualified and carry comprehensive public liability insurance, whether we are working on a farm gate or a listed city property.
My gate is on a listed street near the cathedrals. Is that a problem?
Not usually, but it needs more care. We discuss suitable materials and design at the survey, and flag when the borough council should be checked before ordering.
Do I need planning permission for a gate in Armagh?
Permission is typically needed once a gate or fence exceeds one metre beside a public road, or two metres away from the road. That threshold applies to new structures rather than to automating one already in place, though conservation-area properties get extra scrutiny.
There is no power at my orchard gate. What are the options?
Normal on Armagh's farm lanes. We run an armoured cable from the nearest building or fit a solar kit with a battery, whichever the survey finds suits your entrance.
Can you automate the gate that is already there?
Often, yes, provided the leaves are square, the posts are sound and the gate swings or slides freely by hand. If it is worn we will say so honestly rather than fit a motor to a gate that will fail.
What happens if the power cuts out?
Every gate motor includes a manual release, so a key opens it by hand if power fails. Battery backup is available on CAME and BFT systems for continuous operation.
How long does a typical Armagh installation take?
Fitting a motor to a gate that is already standing is generally a one-day job. Where new posts, a track and a power supply have to go in first, particularly out on a farm lane, it takes longer, and the quote sets out what to expect.
Are the gates safe for children and animals on a farm?
Yes, once properly installed. Safety edges reverse the gate the moment it meets resistance, photocells keep it open while the beam is broken, and BS EN 12453 force testing is carried out before handover.
Can the gate work with cameras I already have on the farm?
In many cases, yes. Tell us what is fitted at the survey and we will confirm compatibility, or we can supply CCTV alongside the gate so everything runs from one app.
Do you service gates that another company installed?
We do. Existing CAME and BFT systems and most other makes can be serviced, repaired or upgraded across Armagh, and we can add fobs, a keypad or an intercom to a gate that never had them.
