Electric gates in Lisburn, in short
Lisburn's gate jobs range from brand new housing off the Ballinderry Road to farmhouses that have stood for a century, and both start with the same free survey. We fit CAME and BFT motors, build in safety edges and photocells as standard, and configure fobs, a keypad, intercom and app control around how the property is used.
A growing city
Lisburn is building fast, and gates need to keep up.
Lisburn has grown quickly over the last decade, and a lot of our work here is on newer estates off the Ballinderry Road, around Knockmore and Ballymacash, where plots are close together and the run-in from the footpath to the garage door is short. A compact sliding gate or an underground swing motor set close to the boundary usually suits these driveways better than a gate that needs room to swing out over the pavement.
Away from the new estates, the older farmhouses and detached properties towards Hillsborough, Dromore and Maze still make up a good share of the work, and those jobs look nothing like the estate jobs. Long lanes, sloped entrances and no power anywhere near the gate are normal, so a sliding gate on a cantilever rail, run from a solar kit, is often the practical answer rather than digging a cable run across a field.
Business and industry
Lisburn's industrial estates want a gate that works hard.
Lisburn carries a lot of Northern Ireland's industrial and distribution space, and units around Lissue Industrial Estate, Charlestown Business Park and the Ballinderry Road corridor typically want a wide sliding gate that closes itself after hours, a keypad with individual codes for staff, and a camera watching the entrance rather than a single shared fob. We size the motor to the weight of the gate and set the timings to suit shift patterns.
New boundary work in the borough falls under Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. Permission is generally needed once a new gate or fence passes one metre beside the road, or two metres set back, though that covers a new structure rather than automating one already standing. Hillsborough's conservation area and listed buildings call for extra care with materials and design, which we raise at the survey.

Why us in Lisburn
A security installer covering Lisburn end to end.
As well as gate automation, Coast Data Security fits CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and WiFi across Lisburn, which means the intercom on your gate, a camera watching the drive and your alarm panel can all be tied into one app rather than three separate logins. Every installer we send out is fully qualified and covered by comprehensive public liability insurance, and every job finishes with a proper handover of the fobs, the safety devices and the manual release.
How it works in Lisburn
From enquiry to a working gate
- 1
Book a free survey
We visit your Lisburn property, measure the opening and the run-in, check the ground and the power supply, and talk through how you and your family want the gate to work.
- 2
A quote you can rely on
You get a fixed recommendation covering the gate type, the motor, the access devices and the safety kit, with everything priced and nothing added later.
- 3
Trades booked together
We coordinate the posts, the track or motor base, cable ducting and the power supply so any masonry and electrical trades are on site together rather than in separate visits.
- 4
Programmed and proven
Once the hardware is in, the system is programmed and put through its paces until the open, close and stop are smooth, quiet and reliable.
- 5
A proper handover
Before we leave, we walk through the intercom, the app, the fobs and the manual release with you, and remain on call afterwards for servicing or adding devices.

Electric gates in Lisburn, answered.
Questions we hear most from Lisburn homes and businesses.
What does an electric gate cost in Lisburn?
It varies by property, so we hold off quoting until after a free survey. Once we know the gate, the motor and the access devices you want, you get a written, itemised price with no pressure to proceed.
Do you install on new-build estates as well as older properties?
Yes, and the two jobs are different. New estates usually need a compact motor for a short run-in, while older farmhouses often need a sliding gate and a solar kit where there is no power nearby.
Do your engineers carry proper insurance?
Yes. All installers are fully qualified and carry comprehensive public liability insurance, from a domestic driveway gate to a business unit entrance.
Do I need planning permission from Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council?
Permission is generally needed once a new gate or fence passes one metre beside the road, or two metres set back. That covers a new structure, not automating a gate already there, but Hillsborough's conservation area needs extra care.
Can you automate a gate that is already fitted?
Usually, provided the leaves are square, the posts are sound and the gate opens or slides freely by hand. If the gate is worn we will tell you honestly and quote for a replacement.
There is no power near my gate on a rural lane. What then?
That is common outside Lisburn's built-up areas. We run an armoured cable from the house or fit a solar kit with a battery, whichever the survey finds more practical.
What happens to the gate during a power cut?
A manual release is fitted to every motor we install, letting you unlock and move the gate by hand if the power cuts out. CAME and BFT battery backup units are available if you would rather the gate stayed operational during an outage.
Can staff or visitors get in without a fob?
Yes. A keypad can give each member of staff their own code, and a GSM or video intercom lets a receptionist or homeowner release the gate remotely for a visitor or delivery.
How long will the installation take?
Automating an existing Lisburn gate is normally a day on site. A new gate with posts and a power run takes longer and is scheduled around the trades involved.
Are the gates safe for children on a housing estate?
They are, provided the installation is done right. We fit safety edges that reverse the gate on contact and photocells that hold it open while anything is in the beam, then force test to BS EN 12453 at commissioning.
Can the gate link to CCTV or an alarm I already have?
In many cases, yes, especially if we install the CCTV or alarm too. Tell us about your existing system and we will confirm compatibility at the survey.
Do you maintain gates you did not originally install?
We do. CAME, BFT and most other gate motors across Lisburn can be serviced, repaired or upgraded by us, and we can add a keypad, intercom or safety devices to a gate that was fitted without them.
