Electric gates in Lurgan, in short
Coast Data Security installs electric gates around Lurgan, from lanes near Lough Neagh to housing estates and the Carn Industrial Estate, with every job starting from a free site survey. CAME or BFT motors are fitted with safety edges and photocells, and the gate is set up with fobs, a keypad, intercom and app control.
By the lough shore
Gates for Lurgan's lakeside lanes and farms.
The land running down towards Lough Neagh at Kinnego, Oxford Island and the townlands around Derrytrasna sits low and often damp, and gate posts here need a solid footing rather than a quick set into soft ground. Long lane entrances with no power nearby are common, so a sliding gate on a cantilever rail, run from a solar kit, tends to be the practical answer, and we set the track above typical ground water levels rather than flush with it.
In the town itself, the housing estates around Kilwilkie, Mourneview and Taghnevan have shorter driveways and closer neighbours, so an underground swing motor or a slim sliding gate suits better than a large gate needing room to swing. A fob and a keypad cover most day-to-day use, with an intercom added where families want to see a visitor before letting them in.
Industry and planning
Business gates on the Carn Industrial Estate.
Lurgan's Carn Industrial Estate and the units along the Tandragee Road carry a good share of local manufacturing and distribution work, and businesses here usually want a wide sliding gate with a timed close for out-of-hours security, a keypad with individual staff codes and a camera covering the entrance. We size the motor to the gate's weight and set the timings around each site's working pattern.
Northern Ireland planning rules generally draw the line at one metre in height next to a road and two metres elsewhere, above which permission can be required from Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council. It only concerns a new structure, not motorising an existing gate, though we still raise it at the survey, along with a realistic view of ground conditions near the lough.

Why us in Lurgan
Security work across Lurgan and the lough shore.
Gate automation sits alongside our CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and WiFi work throughout Lurgan, which is why a lakeside gate, a doorbell camera and an internal alarm keypad often end up sharing the same phone app rather than three unrelated logins. Comprehensive public liability insurance is in place for every job, large or small, and every installer holds the right qualifications for the work. Before we pack up, the fobs, the app, the safety devices and the manual release are all demonstrated in person.
How it works in Lurgan
From your call to a working gate
- 1
Free survey in Lurgan
We visit your home, farm or business anywhere in Lurgan or out towards the lough shore, check the ground conditions, the run-in and where power could reach the gate.
- 2
A price you can trust
Sliding or swing, the motor size, the access kit and the safety devices are all set out for you in a written proposal, with the figure fixed before anything is ordered.
- 3
Ground conditions accounted for
We plan the posts, track or motor base, cable ducting and power feed, accounting for ground conditions near the lough, so building and electrical work happen together.
- 4
Confirmed working correctly
The installed motor and safety devices are programmed and force tested before handover, so the action is confirmed smooth, quiet and safe.
- 5
Fully talked through
We walk through the fobs, the manual release, the app and the intercom before leaving site, and remain available afterwards for servicing or adding devices.

Electric gates in Lurgan, answered.
Questions from the town, the estates and the lough shore.
How much does an electric gate cost in Lurgan?
Ground conditions near the lough, the gate size, the motor and the access devices you want all feed into the final number, so we hold off giving one until the survey is done. What comes back is a written, itemised price, free to ask for.
Do you cover properties out near Lough Neagh as well as the town?
Yes. Kinnego, Oxford Island, Derrytrasna and the lanes towards the lough shore are regular jobs for us, alongside Lurgan town centre, Kilwilkie, Mourneview and Taghnevan.
Are your engineers qualified and properly insured?
Yes. All installers are fully qualified and carry comprehensive public liability insurance, whether we are fitting a lakeside gate or an industrial estate entrance.
Do I need planning permission from Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council?
Northern Ireland planning rules generally draw the line at one metre in height next to a road and two metres elsewhere. That applies to a new structure rather than to automating a gate already in place, but we confirm this at the survey.
The ground near my gate is soft and low lying. Is that a problem?
It is something we plan for rather than avoid. Ground near the lough shore often needs a solid raised footing for the posts and track, which we account for at the survey and in the quote.
Can you automate the gate I already have?
Often, provided the frame is square and the pillars or posts are sound. Where damp ground near the lough has worn an older gate, we will point it out and price a replacement instead.
What happens to the gate in a power cut?
Losing power does not mean losing access. A manual release key is fitted to every motor, and CAME or BFT battery backup is available if you want the gate to carry on working during an outage.
Can staff get into the industrial estate without a shared fob?
Yes, and on a shared site like Carn that usually works out better. Give each employee their own keypad code instead of one fob doing the rounds, and the entrance camera keeps a visual record of who came through and when.
How long does installation usually take?
A motor fitted to an existing Lurgan gate typically finishes within a day. Where posts, a raised footing and a power run are needed first, the programme stretches out, and we set the timing before booking anything.
Are the gates safe around children on an estate driveway?
They are safe once properly commissioned. Safety edges and photocells stop the gate the moment anything is in its path, and every gate is force tested to BS EN 12453 before handover.
Can the gate work with CCTV on our business unit?
It can. CCTV, alarms and access control are all things we install alongside gates around Lurgan, and pulling them into one system means a single login shows the gate, the camera feed and the alarm status together.
Do you service gates fitted by someone else in Lurgan?
Yes, that is a regular call-out for us. Most CAME, BFT and other makes can be serviced or repaired locally, and where a gate was fitted without a keypad, intercom or safety edge we can usually retrofit one.
