At BM Alarms, we install high-quality automatic gates across County Kildare. From small private homes to large commercial yards, we deliver systems that are tough, easy to use, and tailored to fit your exact setup.

If you’re looking for more control over who comes in and out, while also improving the look of your entrance, you’re in the right place.

Why More People in Kildare Are Choosing Electric Gates

It’s not just about comfort, although that’s a big part of it. The main reason people go electric is security. An automatic gate puts a clear barrier between your property and the outside world. It gives you full control over access, and for a lot of people, that’s worth every cent.

Here are a few reasons customers around Kildare are making the switch:

• You can open the gate without leaving your car

• Children and pets stay safely inside

• You stop cold callers and unwanted visitors

• It makes your entrance look cleaner and more professional

• You don’t have to remember to lock anything manually

• It works with intercoms, keypads, remotes, or even your phone

Whether you’re based in Naas, Newbridge, Maynooth, or rural Kildare, the benefits are the same. You’re in control.

​

Fully Custom Gate Systems

Every job we take on starts with a proper site visit. No guesswork. We measure the space, look at ground levels, wiring access, and traffic flow. Then we recommend a setup that suits you, not some one-size-fits-all system.

Swing Gates

The classic option. These are hinged gates that open either inward or outward. They look great on driveways and are available in single or double leaf formats. Ideal for homes and properties with a bit of space around the entrance.

Sliding Gates

Great for tight spaces or sloped driveways. These gates run along a track and slide sideways to open and close. You’ll often see them on larger driveways or commercial yards where space needs to be used wisely.

Bi-Fold Gates

A folding gate design that opens quickly and takes up less space. These are smart-looking, efficient, and perfect for tighter entrances or urban areas.

Telescopic Gates

These gates have overlapping sections that slide into each other as they open. They offer full-width access without needing a long sliding space.

We also help you choose the right material. Aluminium, steel, timber, or composite, each one has its own look and feel. You pick what fits the style of your home or business, and we make sure it’s finished to last.

​

Safety Comes First

Automatic gates are built to protect, but they still need to be safe for everyone using them. All of our systems include built-in safety features.

We fit:

• Obstacle sensors to stop the gate if something’s in the way

• Soft start and stop functions to avoid jolts or slamming

• Manual release systems in case of power outages

• Locking motors to keep the gate secure when closed

Every job follows proper safety standards. We don’t cut corners.

​

Smart Access Control Options

Gone are the days of a single button remote. Today’s gate systems work with a range of access options.

Choose from:

• Remote control fobs

• Wall-mounted keypads

• GSM intercoms

• Mobile phone apps

• Timed access

• Video entry systems

You can also connect your gate to other security systems. CCTV, alarm systems, door sensors, we can make everything work together for complete peace of mind.

What to Expect During Installation

We like to keep things simple. Here’s how the process works when you contact BM Alarms for automatic gates in Kildare:

1. Site Visit
We visit your property to assess the entrance. We check dimensions, ground level, access routes, and what kind of power supply is available. This visit helps us give you the right advice and a quote you can rely on.

2. Design and Options
We walk you through your choices. You’ll see material samples, finish options, and gate types. Whether you want something modern and minimal or traditional and solid, we’ll help you find the right fit.

3. Clear Quotation
You’ll receive a full quote with everything broken down. That includes materials, fabrication, automation, electrics, safety features, and installation.

4. Fabrication and Preparation
Once you give the go-ahead, we get to work. If custom steelwork is needed, we build it to size. Everything is prepared to fit your site exactly.

5. Installation
On the day of fitting, we arrive on time, keep the site tidy, and get the gate in place safely. Most residential jobs take one to two days. We test everything thoroughly before we leave.

6. Handover and Support
We show you how everything works and leave you with clear instructions. If anything goes wrong later, we’re easy to reach and fast to respond.

Pricing Guide

We get asked this a lot: “How much does an electric gate cost?”

It depends on a few things:

• Gate size and type (swing, sliding, bi-fold)

• Choice of material (steel, aluminium, timber)

• Type of automation (underground motors, above ground, track-based)

• Access systems (keypad, intercom, remote, phone control)

• Groundworks and cabling needs

For a single-leaf swing gate with basic remote control, pricing usually starts around €2,000 to €2,500. For more complex setups with full access control and custom finishes, it can range between €3,000 and €6,000.

We don’t do rough estimates over the phone because every entrance is different. What we do offer is a clear, honest quote after seeing your property.

​

Maintenance and Repairs

Your gate should work smoothly every time you use it. To keep it that way, we recommend a yearly service. That includes checking:

• Gate movement and alignment

• Motor function and lubrication

• Sensor accuracy and safety response

• Access system function

• Weather sealing and cable wear

We offer maintenance plans for homes and businesses across Kildare. We also repair systems installed by other companies, as long as the hardware is safe and functional.

Common issues we fix include:

• Gates not responding to remotes

• Loud grinding or stiff movement

• Power faults

• Broken sensors or access points

• Water damage to wiring

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does installation take?

Most gates are installed in one to two working days. Larger or more complex systems may take longer. We’ll give you a proper timeline once we’ve seen the site.

Can I keep my existing gate and automate it?

Sometimes, yes. If your current gate is strong, straight, and in good condition, we may be able to retrofit a motor. If not, we’ll let you know honestly and suggest a better solution.

Will my gate still work if the power goes out?

Yes. All systems include a manual release so you can open and close the gate by hand if needed. We also offer battery backup options if you want extra peace of mind.

Can I open my gate from my phone?

Yes. We offer GSM and app-based systems that let you control your gate from anywhere. These can also include video and audio intercom options.

What’s included in the quote?

Our quotes include everything, gate supply or fabrication, automation, wiring, safety features, and installation. If there’s anything extra, like intercoms or groundworks, it’s all clearly stated.
