Commercial Gates, Barriers & Perimeter Protection

High-duty access control for commercial, industrial and public sector sites

At Doncaster Alarms, we design, install and maintain commercial gate, barrier and access control systems built for reliability, safety and daily operational use. From industrial yards and depots to schools, offices and managed car parks, we deliver a complete end-to-end service — including survey, design, groundworks, installation, automation, access control and ongoing maintenance.

We can automate existing gates or supply and install new systems including sliding, swing, bi-folding gates, barriers and bollards, all specified to suit your site usage, traffic flow and risk profile.

Compliance, Legislation & Duty of Care

Installed correctly. Documented properly. Maintained responsibly.

Automated commercial gates and barriers are classed as machinery and must be designed and installed in line with multiple UK and European regulations. Incorrect installation can expose businesses to serious liability in the event of injury or failure.

We understand this responsibility and design every system to ensure commercial clients can demonstrate full compliance and due diligence.

Our installations are carried out in accordance with:

Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
BS EN 12453 & BS EN 12445 (Safety in use of powered gates)
HSG 274 & industry best-practice guidance
Gate Safe principles for automated gate safety

Every commercial system is designed with risk assessment, force limitation and safety devices appropriate to the site — including photocells, safety edges, emergency release systems and safe control logic.

Where required, we provide:

Site-specific risk assessments
Correct safety signage
System handover and user guidance
Ongoing planned maintenance to support duty-of-care obligations

This gives facilities managers, directors and duty holders confidence that legal responsibilities are met, risk is reduced, and systems are safe for staff, visitors and the public.

Commercial Palisade Gates

Heavy-duty perimeter protection for industrial and high-risk sites

Palisade fencing and gates remain one of the most effective perimeter solutions for industrial units, depots, utilities and trade yards. Designed to deter climbing and forced entry, these systems provide a strong visual and physical security boundary.

All palisade gates are supplied hot-dip galvanised, with optional powder coating in any RAL colour to match corporate branding or site requirements.

Available as fencing, sliding or swing; manual or automated gates, with full safety protection and access control integration.

Commercial Mesh Gates

Secure boundaries without compromising visibility

Mesh fencing and gate systems are widely used across schools, councils, leisure facilities and commercial premises, where visibility and safety are as important as security.

Supplied galvanised as standard, with optional powder coating in any RAL colour, mesh gates can be configured for manual or automated operation, and integrated with access control and intercom systems.

We supply and install perimeter fencing with or without access gates.

Automated Barriers

Control vehicle access while keeping traffic moving

Barriers are ideal for car parks, business parks, depots, private roads and managed commercial sites where controlled access is required without slowing traffic flow.

We install modern commercial-grade barrier systems featuring:

Integrated LED lighting
Controlled opening speeds
Impact protection
Battery backup options
Skirt systems where required

All barrier installations are designed to suit site usage levels and duty cycles.

Manual and Automated Bollards

Vehicle mitigation and controlled access at critical points

Bollards provide effective physical protection for entrances, forecourts, pedestrian zones and restricted access areas. Available as fixed, removable, manual or fully automated systems.

Ideal for preventing unauthorised vehicle access and reducing risk to buildings, staff and the public.

For locations with increased risk or duty-of-care requirements, we also supply and install Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) bollards designed to stop or significantly slow hostile vehicles.

Bespoke

Built around your site, not off-the-shelf limitations

Our in house blacksmith and engineer has over 30 years experience. We can custom build a gate to the exact size and style that you require.

We manufacture bespoke steel gates and structures to suit complex openings, unusual layouts or specific operational requirements.
