Edinburgh Electric Gate Installation

High-quality Electric Gates & Perimeter Security Across Edinburgh & The Lothians

CM Gates & Barriers designs, installs, repairs and maintains electric gates, automatic barriers and access control systems for homes and businesses across Edinburgh, Midlothian, West Lothian and East Lothian.

From bespoke residential entrances around North Berwick, Gullane and Archerfield to commercial gates, barriers and controlled-access systems across Edinburgh, Livingston and the wider Lothians, our team can manage everything from initial design and engineering through to installation and ongoing support.

With fabrication, civils, electrical works and automation handled in-house, there are fewer contractors to coordinate and one team accountable for the finished system.

What We Consider When Designing Gates Across Edinburgh & The Lothians

The location, layout and surroundings can have a major impact on the right gate system. These are some of the factors we regularly consider across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Properties towards East Lothian, including North Berwick, Gullane, Archerfield and Dunbar, can be more exposed to coastal weather and wind. Gate size, infill, structural design, hinges and automation all need to be considered carefully so the system remains reliable in exposed conditions.

Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians include everything from steep residential driveways to constrained urban entrances. Ground levels, available opening space and vehicle movement can determine whether a swing, sliding or cantilever gate is the most practical solution.

Many properties across Edinburgh and the Lothians have stone walls, established landscaping or traditional architecture. We design bespoke gates to work with the existing entrance rather than making the automation look like an afterthought.

For schools, offices, managed developments and other busy sites, the entrance needs to balance security with safe and efficient movement. We consider vehicle flow, pedestrian access, safeguarding, access control and long-term maintenance as part of the overall design.

What Our Clients Say

I wouldn’t consider trying elsewhere!

Top marks. Having tried multiple local options for our electric gates which despite this had ongoing problems for years, with multiple call outs & frequent malfunctions…lots of money spent but no one seemed to know how to fix them or what was causing the problems.

However, one visit from CM Gates & Barriers and the problem was sorted completely…totally worth the initial call out fee. Since then I wouldn’t consider trying anywhere else if required. I try to have them visit for an annual maintenance visit now to keep my gates in tip top condition. If you’re having problems with your electric gates, these are the guys to fix them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Nic

I have used the services of CM for 4 years now and have always found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful when attending.

They didn’t make or fit the gates originally but the company which did were very poor at the after service and totally unreliable.

I am so glad that I found CM and they have during the time have suggested and implemented changes to better the operation of the gates while they are prompt and organised when calling them out.

Brown Ferguson

Great & professional service!
They arrived on time, sorted the fault and carried out the service as agreed.

Fire Scotland

Many thanks to Calum for the work done today to get the Bedlormie gate up and running. Its good to know that ‘small customers’ are still much appreciated!

M Thompson

Brilliant service and always quick to respond. They always make solid recommendations for what kit to use as well.

Dominic Bargeton

I would highly recommend this company.

Craig himself installed our gate some years ago, and terrible weather on the day didn’t deter him from finishing the job and making sure everything was working perfectly before he left. The whole team at CM gates are professional, friendly and very responsive if any issues arise.

John Brown

Highly professional and superb customer services! 

We were not able to be there when the job was done and when we came home the job was completed and they then phoned to tell us what they had done and answered the questions we had and many months later no challenges .

Alexander Quinn

Here on top of the hill the weather can be a bit tricky, that said our gates, installed and maintained by CM Gates & Barriers cope really well!
