Electric Gates and Barriers in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch

Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch run together along the Dorset coast, and the properties are just as varied: blocks of flats with shared car parks, large detached homes, and commercial and industrial sites inland. We install, service and repair gates, barriers and access control across the area.

Automated Openings is based in Southampton. We design, manufacture, install, maintain and repair domestic and industrial gates and automated equipment, and supply and install barriers and bollards.

Seafront flats and shared car parks

Many apartment blocks have a residents' car park that needs to stay for residents only. We fit rising arm barriers, bollards and gates with access control such as fobs, keypads or intercoms, so residents and visitors get in and unwanted parkers don't. See barriers and bollards.

For managing agents and residents' associations, a maintenance contract keeps shared equipment checked on a regular schedule, with a written report after every visit that you can keep on file.

Detached homes

For houses with a driveway, we supply and fit electric driveway gates and can automate suitable existing gates. If you want something made to suit the property, we design and manufacture gates to fit the opening and the style of the house.

Commercial and industrial sites

For business premises, units and yards, we install commercial and industrial gates, barriers and access control, built for the way your site is used day to day.

Coastal conditions

Salt air reaches well inland from the beach and wears on metal gates, barrier arms, hinges and motors. Regular servicing helps keep everything moving and spots corrosion early. We recommend a service at least every six months.

Servicing and repairs, including gates installed by others

We service and repair gates, barriers and automation installed by other companies as well as our own. Our call-out fees are fixed, and repairs are quoted after an on-site assessment.

We force test on every check, installation and service, and give you a written report after every check or service. We fit safety edges where needed and carry out written risk assessments, which is particularly important on shared car parks where residents, visitors and children walk past.

Out-of-hours emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Extra charges apply outside normal hours.

Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch FAQs

Can you replace or repair the barrier on our block's car park?

Yes, whoever installed it. We'll assess it on site and quote for the repair, or for a replacement if that makes more sense.

Can residents use fobs or a phone-style intercom to get in?

We fit a range of access control, including fobs, keypads and intercoms. We'll recommend what suits the number of residents and how visitors arrive.
