Electric gates in Dungannon, in short
Coast Data Security installs electric gates across Dungannon and the Mid Ulster countryside, from farm lanes around Moygashel and Coalisland Road to driveways in the town itself. The free survey settles CAME or BFT automation, safety edges, photocells, fobs and app access.
Local knowledge
Gates for the way Dungannon actually farms and trades.
Dungannon is the market town for a wide stretch of Mid Ulster, and most of the entrances we automate here sit well outside the town itself. Out towards Moygashel, Donaghmore and the lanes off the Ballygawley Road, gates serve working farms with heavy gateposts, sloping ground and often no power within a hundred metres of the entrance. A sliding gate on a cantilever rail, run from a solar kit, is usually the practical answer, and we build in a keypad so feed deliveries and contractors are not left waiting at the road.
In the town itself, around Killymeal, Circular Road and the newer estates off the Coalisland Road, driveways are shorter and neighbours are closer, so an underground swing motor or a compact sliding gate keeps the pillars tidy without blocking the pavement. The industrial units along the Coalisland Road and the M1 spur usually want a heavier sliding gate that can take a lorry and a keypad with individual codes for staff, closing itself once the yard is empty for the night.
Planning and access
Two things to check before you order a gate in Dungannon.
Planning sits with Mid Ulster District Council. Automating an existing gate does not need permission, but a new gate or fence higher than one metre next to a public road, or higher than two metres elsewhere, can, and a handful of properties near the older streetscape and Dungannon Park carry extra planning conditions. We point this out at the survey so you can check with the council before the posts go in.
The other check is the entrance itself. Working farms around Dungannon often bring machinery, livestock trailers and delivery lorries through the same gate as the family car, so the opening has to be wide enough and the motor strong enough for the heaviest use, not just the average one. We size the gate to the widest vehicle that actually uses it, not the narrowest, and fit safety edges rated for the extra weight.

Why us in Dungannon
A security installer, not just a gate fitter.
Rather than treating the gate as a one-off job, we build it into the same system as any CCTV, alarm or access control work on the same yard, so a camera, an intercom and the gate itself can share one app. Every Coast Data Security installer is fully qualified and insured, and every gate in Dungannon is handed over with a full walk-through of the controls.
How it works in Dungannon
From your call to the first time it opens
- 1
Free survey at your entrance
We come out to your farm, home or yard in Dungannon, measure the opening and run-in, check the ground, the posts and where power can realistically come from, and talk through how the gate needs to cope with your traffic.
- 2
Written quote
You get a written recommendation setting out sliding or swing, the motor, the access devices and the safety kit needed, priced up front with no obligation to go ahead.
- 3
Groundworks and power
Posts, a track or motor foundation, cable ducting and a mains feed or solar kit, coordinated so the electrical and any masonry work happens once, in the right order.
- 4
Fit, programme, force-test
The motors, control board, photocells and safety edges go in next, and the gate is then programmed and force-tested so it copes safely with a farmyard's heavier daily use.
- 5
Handover and aftercare
We walk you through the fobs, the app, the intercom and the manual release, and remain available afterwards for servicing and additions such as extra fobs or a keypad.

Electric gates in Dungannon, your questions.
Answers for Dungannon, Moygashel, Coalisland Road and the surrounding countryside.
How much do electric gates cost in Dungannon?
We work out the price for a Dungannon gate at the free survey, once we know the opening, the motor strength needed, whether power reaches the entrance and which access devices you want. The written quote is itemised and there is no obligation.
Do you cover farms outside Dungannon as well as the town?
Yes. Moygashel, Donaghmore, the Coalisland Road and the lanes off the Ballygawley Road and the Killyman Road are regular jobs for us, alongside driveways in the town centre and the newer estates.
There is no power anywhere near my gate. Can you still automate it?
Yes. Most farm entrances around Dungannon have no supply nearby. We run an armoured cable from a shed or the house, or fit a solar kit with a battery, and the survey settles which suits your lane.
Do I need planning permission from Mid Ulster District Council?
Not for the automation itself. A new gate or fence higher than one metre beside a road, or higher than two metres elsewhere, can need permission, so we flag it at the survey before any posts go in.
Can a gate motor cope with farm traffic and machinery?
Yes, when it is specified for it. We size the motor and the gate leaf to the heaviest vehicle that regularly uses the entrance, not just the family car, and fit safety edges rated for that extra weight.
Can you automate the gate I already have?
Often, yes, if the posts are solid, the leaves are square and the gate moves freely by hand. If years of farm use have left it worn or out of true, we will say so and quote for a replacement instead.
Can contractors get in when I am not there?
Yes. A keypad with its own code, or a GSM intercom that rings your mobile, lets contractors, delivery drivers or feed suppliers in without you leaving what you are doing, and you can change or cancel a code at any time.
What happens to the gate in a power cut?
A manual release lets you open the gate by hand with a key whenever the power is off, which matters on a farm where the entrance cannot simply stay shut. CAME and BFT both offer battery back-up if you want it to keep working automatically.
How long will the installation take?
Automating an existing farm gate is usually a day on site. New gates with posts, groundworks and a power run take longer and are scheduled around the masonry and electrical work, with a realistic programme given at quote stage.
Do you service gates in Dungannon that someone else installed?
We do. Existing CAME and BFT installations, and most other makes, can be serviced, repaired or upgraded by our team, including adding fobs, a keypad or safety devices to a gate fitted without them.
