Electric gates in Enniskillen, in short
Coast Data Security installs electric gates in Enniskillen, the county town of Fermanagh built on an island between Lower and Upper Lough Erne. Because Enniskillen is around 80 road miles from our Castlewellan base, surveys are booked in advance. We fit CAME or BFT automation with safety edges, photocells, fobs and app access.
Local knowledge
Gates for the way Enniskillen sits on the water.
Enniskillen is built on an island in the River Erne between the lower and upper loughs, and much of Fermanagh's housing sits close to the water on its way out of town, whether that is a lakeshore house near Castle Coole or a holiday property looking over the lough. Ground close to the water table can stay damp for long stretches, so we run cable in proper ducting and set motor foundations clear of anything that pools after rain, rather than assuming a standard dry-ground fit will do.
Out towards the border with County Cavan and County Leitrim and the quieter lanes around Lisnaskea and Derrygonnelly, entrances tend to be long with no power at the gate, so a sliding gate on a cantilever rail run from a solar kit is a common fit. In the town centre, around Belmore Street and the newer developments, drives are short and an underground swing motor suits the tighter frontages better than a wide swing pair.
Planning and access
Two things to check before you order a gate in Enniskillen.
Planning sits with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council. Automating an existing gate does not need permission, but a new gate or fence exceeding one metre in height next to a road, or exceeding two metres elsewhere, can, and lakeshore land can carry extra conditions where a new entrance affects drainage or access to the water. We flag this at the survey rather than after the posts are in.
Enniskillen is one of the further towns on our list from our Castlewellan base, so surveys and, where possible, installation visits are arranged together rather than promised same-day. We give you an honest date at enquiry stage and plan the trip properly, which keeps the programme realistic for a lakeland property that may only be reachable by a single road.

Why us in Enniskillen
A security installer, not just a gate fitter.
Gates sit alongside the CCTV, intruder alarm and access control work Coast Data Security carries out across Enniskillen, so an intercom at the gate, a camera on the entrance and your alarm can share one app, which suits a lakeside holiday property as well as a family home. Every installer is fully qualified and insured, and every gate is handed over with a walk-through of the controls.
How it works in Enniskillen
From your call to the first time it opens
- 1
Enquiry and a booked survey
Call or send the form. Because Enniskillen is a longer trip from our base, we agree a survey date with you, then visit to measure the opening, check the ground and where power can come from.
- 2
Written quote
We set out the recommendation in writing: sliding or swing, the motor, the access devices and the safety kit, priced clearly with no obligation.
- 3
Groundworks and power
Posts, a track or motor foundation sited clear of damp ground near the lough, cable ducting and a mains feed or solar kit, coordinated into as few visits as possible.
- 4
Fit, programme, force-test
With the motors, control board, photocells and safety edges in place, the gate is programmed and force-tested for a smooth, safe action before we leave site.
- 5
Handover and aftercare
We explain the fobs, the app, the intercom and the manual release, hand over the paperwork, and stay reachable by phone for servicing and future additions.

Electric gates in Enniskillen, your questions.
Answers for Enniskillen, the lough shore and the surrounding border lanes.
How much do electric gates cost in Enniskillen?
We price an Enniskillen gate at the free survey stage, once we know the entrance, the motor, whether power reaches the gate and which access devices you want. The quote is written, itemised, and comes with no obligation.
Enniskillen is a fair distance from your base. Do you actually cover it?
Yes, on booked visits. Enniskillen is around 80 road miles from our Castlewellan base, so we agree the survey date in advance and plan the trip properly rather than offering a same-day call-out. The price of the work itself is not affected.
My gate is close to the lough and the ground stays wet. Is that a problem?
It needs care rather than being a problem. We run cable in proper ducting and set the motor foundation clear of ground that pools after rain, which is a normal part of a survey for a lakeshore property around Enniskillen.
Do I need planning permission from Fermanagh and Omagh District Council?
Not for automating the gate itself. A new gate or fence exceeding one metre in height beside a road, or exceeding two metres elsewhere, can need permission, and lakeshore land can carry extra conditions, so we check this at the survey.
There is no power at my gate on the border lanes. Can you still automate it?
Yes. Many entrances around Lisnaskea, Derrygonnelly and the lanes towards the border have no supply nearby. We either run an armoured cable or fit a solar kit with a battery, and the survey settles which suits your lane.
Can you automate the gate I already have?
Usually, if the leaves are square, the posts or pillars are solid and the gate moves freely by hand. If it is worn we will say so and quote for a replacement instead of fitting a motor to a gate that will fail.
Can guests at my lakeside let use the gate without a key?
Yes. A keypad with a code you change between bookings lets guests in without a physical key changing hands, and you can reset the code from anywhere once they have checked out.
What happens to the gate in a power cut?
Every motor includes a manual release operated with a key, so the gate still opens by hand if the power fails, which we build in as standard for lakeside properties as much as anywhere else. Battery back-up is available for CAME and BFT systems.
How long will the installation take?
Automating an existing gate is usually a day on site once we are there. 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 Enniskillen that someone else installed?
On planned visits, yes. Existing CAME and BFT systems, and most other makes, can be serviced, repaired or upgraded across Fermanagh, including adding fobs, a keypad or safety devices.
