Gate & Barrier Automation
Secure your site entrances and exits with fully certified gate and barrier automation systems designed for safety, performance, and reliability.
Professional Gate and Barrier Automation Systems in Ireland
As of October 2025, the Private Security Authority (PSA) standard PSA 80:2025 came into effect in Ireland. This legislation requires that all automated gate and barrier systems are installed and maintained by a licensed PSA contractor.
At Stalwart Security & Fire, we have held full PSA licensing for decades and continue to deliver safe, compliant, and high-performing automation systems for commercial and industrial clients across Ireland. Established in 1984, we bring over 40 years of experience designing and installing gate automation and barrier automation systems that protect some of Ireland’s busiest and most secure sites.
What sets Stalwart apart is our ability to provide a complete, integrated service. We design, install, monitor, and maintain every system under one roof, giving our clients a single trusted partner for all their security, fire, and life safety systems. This approach reduces complexity, improves reliability, and ensures all systems work together seamlessly, from automated gates and automatic barriers to CCTV and access control.
When you choose Stalwart, you are choosing a partner with proven experience, full compliance, and nationwide support for every stage of your system’s lifecycle.
Why Automated Gates & Barriers Matter for Businesses
In some cases, gates and barriers are your first line of defence when it comes to protecting your business and controlling who has access to your site. A professionally designed and expertly installed automated gate and barrier system will effectively restrict access to your property, allowing only the vehicles and visitors welcome on your site.
Automated barrier systems reduce the need for manual gate operators, lowering your staffing requirements and eliminating additional infrastructure requirements such as gate houses and security huts.
Installing an automated barrier system can also improve the traffic flow around your site and give staff, visitors, and deliveries a better experience.
When you install an automated gate or barrier, you are improving your site’s security, which can help you meet both Irish health and safety requirements and your insurance requirements.
Automated gates and barriers professionally installed by Stalwart Security & Fire are compliant with all Irish and EU standards helping your business reduce risk while also demonstrating your duty of care for your employees and visitors.
Automated Gate Systems
Our team of expert commercial gate system installers at Stalwart Security & Fire are PSA certified and comply with all Irish and EU safety standards.
Swing & Sliding Gate Automation
Automated swing and sliding gates are ideal for the entryways of commercial sites and industrial facilities as they are designed for the type of high-traffic and heavy-duty use that these types of sites require. These automated gates can be integrated into existing site security systems such as CCTV and access control systems.
Electric & Motorised Gate Systems
Automated gate systems protect your property, comply with insurance requirements, and eliminate the need for extra security personnel to operate barriers. While the current legislation (PSA 80:2025) requiring installers to have a PSA license only came into effect in 2025, Stalwart Security & Fire has been licensed by the PSA since the PSA was established in 2004.
Automated Barrier Systems
Stalwart Security & Fire has been installing safe and compliant automated barrier systems across Ireland since 1984.
Vehicle & Car Park Barriers
Automatic rising arm barriers are ideal barrier solutions for car parks, business parks, and distribution centres. They are a business’s first line of defence, ensuring that only authorised vehicles have access to site. These barriers can be integrated with CCTV cameras and access control components for an extra level of security.
Industrial & Security Barriers
Heavy-duty automated barrier systems are ideal for logistics, warehousing, and industrial estates. They can be used for site entrances, car park entrances, or for access to high security spaces. These high-tech barriers are designed for 24/7 use, offering continuous security to sites that are continuously serving their customers.
