Beaufort, SC Security Gate Installation
A well-designed gate system controls who comes and goes, helps manage traffic, and protects valuable assets inside the perimeter. Southern Fence designs and installs security gates throughout Beaufort and surrounding areas, from historic downtown properties to industrial sites. If you're evaluating options for a new gate system, we offer complimentary site visits and custom quotes tailored to your specific entry points, layout, and access needs.

Every gate installation starts with understanding how the property operates. Some clients need a gate that opens wide enough for delivery trucks. Others want timed access for staff or a walk-through entrance for maintenance crews. In Beaufort, where site conditions can include marshland, tree roots, or shifting ground, the right gate choice often depends on both the daily use and the environment.
We help you weigh swing gates, slide gates, cantilever systems, and vertical lift options based on your traffic volume and available space. Some businesses benefit from a manual setup, while others require full automation with access controls. Our team has worked on a wide range of gate projects in Beaufort County, and we bring that local experience to every job.
Manual vs. Automated Gate Options
Manual gates work well for properties that don’t need frequent entry or where a staff member is always present to open or close the gate. These are common in boat yards, utility sites, and smaller commercial properties across Beaufort. We use heavy-duty steel or aluminum frames, commercial-grade hinges, and secure locking hardware that holds up over time.
Automated gates are a better fit for high-traffic entry points, especially where 24/7 access or scheduled operation is important. We install gate operators with keypads, card readers, safety sensors, and remote access tools. These systems are especially useful for warehouses, apartment complexes, and government sites. For clients who need added flexibility, we also offer integration with existing security systems or intercoms.
