Electric gates in Newry, in short
Coast Data Security installs electric gates across Newry and the BT34 and BT35 postcode areas, from Warrenpoint and Rostrevor along the lough to Bessbrook, Camlough and the lanes around Mayobridge. We survey the entrance free of charge, fit CAME or BFT automation with safety edges and photocells, and set up fobs, keypads, intercom and smartphone access.
Local knowledge
Gates for the way Newry actually lives.
Newry sits between the Mournes and Slieve Gullion with the A1 and the Belfast to Dublin line running through the middle of it, and the entrances we automate here reflect that. On the edges of the city, out towards Mayobridge, Hilltown and Camlough, most jobs are long rural lanes with a sloping entrance, no power at the gate and a farm or a detached house at the end. Sliding gates on a cantilever rail, run from a solar kit where a mains feed would mean digging up half a field, are the usual answer.
In the city itself and in Warrenpoint, Bessbrook and the newer estates off the Belfast Road and the Rathfriland Road, the problem is the opposite: short run-ins from the road, pillared entrances and neighbours close by. Underground swing motors keep the pillars clean, and a keypad or GSM intercom means deliveries get in without you leaving the house. Business premises around the Greenbank, Carnbane and Warrenpoint Road industrial areas mostly want a wide sliding gate that closes itself at night and logs who opened it.
Because Newry is only a short drive from our Castlewellan base, surveys are quick to arrange and we can call back to add fobs, a keypad or a camera on the entrance after the gate is in.
Planning and access
Two things to check before you order a gate in Newry.
Planning sits with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. Automating an existing gate does not need permission, but a new gate or fence over one metre high next to a public road, or over two metres elsewhere, can. Newry also has conservation areas around the city centre and listed buildings along the canal and in Bessbrook village, where a new entrance needs more care. We point this out at the survey rather than after the posts are in.
The other check is the road itself. Several of the roads out of Newry, including the Camlough Road and the Warrenpoint Road, carry fast traffic, so a gate that opens outwards or a run-in that leaves the car sitting in the carriageway while the gate moves is a real safety issue. We size the run-in and set the gate to open inwards or slide, and we fit photocells on both sides so the gate never closes on a car that is half through.

Electric gates in Newry, your questions.
Answers for Newry, Warrenpoint, Bessbrook, Camlough and the Mournes.
How much do electric gates cost in Newry?
We price every Newry gate after a free site survey, because the entrance, the motor, whether power is at the gate and the access devices all change the figure. You get an itemised written quote and no obligation.
Do you cover the villages around Newry as well as the city?
Yes. Warrenpoint, Rostrevor, Bessbrook, Camlough, Mayobridge, Hilltown, Jerrettspass and the lanes in between are all regular stops for us, along with the estates on the Belfast Road, the Rathfriland Road and the Warrenpoint Road.
There is no power at my gate on the lane. Can you still automate it?
Yes. Most rural entrances around Newry have no supply at the gate. We either run an armoured cable from the house or fit a solar kit with a battery, and the survey works out which is cheaper and more reliable for your lane.
Do I need planning permission from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council?
Not for the automation itself. A new gate or fence over one metre high beside a road, or over two metres elsewhere, can need permission, and conservation areas in the city centre and Bessbrook need extra care. We flag it at the survey so you can check before work starts.
Can you automate the gate I already have?
Usually, if the leaves are square, the posts or pillars are sound and the gate moves freely by hand. If it is worn we will say so and quote for a replacement instead of bolting a motor onto a gate that will fail.
Which is better for a sloping lane, sliding or swing?
Sliding. A sliding gate moves across the slope rather than up it, so it suits the rising entrances common on the lanes out towards Mayobridge and Hilltown. Swing gates need a level run behind the gate or rising hinges.
Can I let a delivery driver in from my phone?
Yes. A GSM intercom rings your mobile when someone presses the button at the gate and lets you release it from anywhere, and app-connected control boards let you open and close the gate and see a log of who used it.
What happens to the gate in a power cut?
Every motor we fit has a manual release, so you unlock it with a key and push the gate by hand. Battery back-up is available for CAME and BFT systems if you want the gate to keep running through an outage.
Are electric gates safe for children and animals?
Properly installed, yes. We fit safety edges that stop and reverse the gate on contact, photocells that hold it open while anything is in the beam, and we force-test the gate at commissioning in line with BS EN 12453.
How long will the job take?
Automating an existing gate in Newry 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 with the quote.
Can the gate work with cameras and my alarm?
Yes. We install CCTV, intruder alarms and access control as well as gates, so the intercom, a camera on the entrance and your alarm can all run in one system and one app instead of three.
Do you service gates in Newry that another company installed?
We do. We service, repair and upgrade existing CAME and BFT systems and most other makes across Newry, and we can add fobs, a keypad, an intercom or safety devices to a gate that was fitted without them.
