Automated Gates and Barriers in Grimsby
Automated gates and barriers make everyday access easier to manage. Honest Security installs, services and repairs entrance systems for homes, businesses and commercial sites across Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and Hull.
From a private driveway to a busy workplace entrance, we help you choose equipment around your property, access requirements and daily use.
A better welcome. More control.
Make your entrance work for you
Choose a practical way to manage vehicle access without opening and closing your gates by hand.
Manage who comes in
Control entry using suitable remotes, keypads, fobs or intercoms. We explain the options available for your chosen equipment.
Easier daily access
Open your entrance from a compatible control rather than getting out to operate the gate manually. Ideal for regular arrivals and departures.
A more organised entrance
Create a clear access point for residents, staff and visitors, with a gate or barrier selected around the layout and use of your premises.
Choose the right entrance
Automated gates and barriers for your property
The right solution depends on available space, the entrance width, how often it is used and who needs access.
Residential gates
Convenient access for driveways and private entrances. We assess the entrance and discuss suitable automation and visitor entry controls.
Have existing gates? Their condition, construction and layout need checking before automation can be recommended.
Commercial gates
Entrance control for workplaces, industrial units and shared premises. We consider vehicle movements, operating hours and the demands placed on the equipment.
Swing or sliding arrangements can be discussed according to site suitability.
Automatic barriers
Manage vehicle entry to car parks, staff parking and commercial sites using a suitable rising-arm barrier.
We consider the traffic flow, control method and pedestrian arrangements when assessing the entrance.
Connected access
Let the right people in
Choose how residents, employees and visitors request access. Options may include remote handsets, keypads, cards, fobs and audio or video intercoms.
Compatible access control systems can help manage authorised users, while CCTV provides a view of activity around the entrance. Integration depends on the equipment and agreed site requirements.

Automated gate and barrier servicing
Moving parts, weather exposure and everyday use can affect gate and barrier operation. Planned maintenance helps identify wear, damage and developing faults.
We can assess existing equipment, investigate operating problems and discuss repairs or upgrades. Support depends on the make, condition, access arrangements and availability of parts.
Service checks may include the drive equipment, fixings, controls, safety devices and manual release arrangements, according to the installed system and agreed scope.
Arrange servicing or repairsSafety is part of the whole system
A powered gate needs an assessment of its layout, moving parts, users and protective measures. Safety devices and maintenance must be appropriate to the particular installation.
If your gate is damaged or behaving unexpectedly, stop using it and arrange an assessment. Do not bypass protective devices.
Read the HSE guidance on powered gate safety.

Useful answers
Automated gates and barriers FAQs
How much do automated gates and barriers cost?
Costs depend on the entrance, equipment, control options, cabling, groundworks and safety measures required. We provide a quotation based on the agreed scope rather than a package that may not suit your property.
Can you automate my existing gates?
Possibly. We first need to assess their condition, weight, construction, hinges or track, and surrounding layout. Some gates require repairs or replacement before automation is suitable.
Can I use a remote, keypad or intercom?
Yes, suitable systems can support these controls. The available options depend on the selected equipment. We can discuss how regular users and visitors should gain access.
What happens during a power cut?
The arrangements depend on the system. Manual release and any supported backup options should be discussed when selecting equipment. We explain the release procedure at handover.
Can you repair a system another company installed?
We can discuss an assessment of existing equipment. Repair options depend on its make, condition, documentation, access credentials and the availability of suitable parts.
How often should automatic gates be serviced?
The maintenance schedule depends on the equipment, usage, environment and manufacturer instructions. We can review your installation and discuss an appropriate service arrangement.
