Barriers
Automatic barriers and vehicle access control systems for schools, businesses, industrial sites and car parks across Bolton, Wigan, Manchester and Lancashire. Installation, repairs and maintenance.
Automatic barriers provide a practical and cost-effective way to control vehicle access to car parks, private roads, schools, commercial premises and restricted areas.
Designed for locations where vehicle access needs to be managed safely and efficiently, automatic barriers help prevent unauthorised vehicle access whilst maintaining smooth traffic flow for authorised users.
Based in Bolton, i Security supplies, installs, repairs and maintains automatic barriers throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester, Lancashire and the wider North West.
Whether you require a car park barrier, school vehicle access control system or a high-traffic barrier installation, our team can help identify the most appropriate solution for your site.
Automatic barriers remain one of the most popular vehicle access control solutions because they combine reliability, rapid operation and cost-effectiveness.
Unlike automatic gates, barriers are often the preferred choice where large numbers of authorised vehicles require efficient access through a controlled entry point.
Automatic car park barriers are widely used to manage vehicle access to staff, visitor and customer parking facilities.
They provide a simple and effective method of controlling vehicle access whilst maintaining convenient entry for authorised users.
Car park barriers are commonly installed within:
Many schools use automatic barriers to improve site security and control vehicle access to staff parking areas, service roads and safeguarding-sensitive locations.
Combined with access control systems, ANPR technology and video intercoms, barriers can help schools manage vehicle movements whilst maintaining a safer environment for pupils, staff and visitors.
i Security has extensive experience delivering vehicle access control systems for schools and academies throughout Bolton, Manchester and Lancashire.
Automatic barriers can be operated using a variety of technologies that can be tailored to the operational requirements of the site.
Our team can advise on the most appropriate access control method based on security requirements, traffic flow and day-to-day operation.
Modern automatic barriers incorporate a range of safety features designed to help protect vehicles, pedestrians and site users.
Skirts and high-bar systems can help discourage pedestrians from attempting to pass underneath or over the barrier, whilst LED lighting improves visibility during periods of darkness.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology can be used to automate vehicle access for authorised users.
ANPR barriers are particularly popular within commercial premises, staff car parks, logistics facilities, residential developments and private sites where vehicle access needs to be managed efficiently.
This technology can improve convenience whilst reducing the administration associated with issuing fobs, access cards and remote controls.
Vehicle barriers operate in demanding environments and may be exposed to heavy usage, accidental impact damage and component wear.
If your barrier has stopped working, suffered impact damage or developed a fault, our engineers can help diagnose and repair the issue.
We provide barrier repairs throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester and Lancashire.
Automatic barriers are safety-critical systems that require regular servicing to ensure they continue to operate safely, reliably and efficiently.
At i Security, we recommend six-monthly preventative maintenance for automatic barrier systems. Regular servicing helps identify worn components, safety device faults, adjustment issues and mechanical wear before they result in failure.
Routine maintenance helps ensure the continued operation of vehicle detection systems, photocells, safety devices, barrier mechanisms and access control equipment whilst reducing the likelihood of unexpected downtime.
Automatic barriers are commonly used by schools, commercial premises, industrial facilities and logistics operators seeking to control vehicle access whilst maintaining efficient traffic flow.
Whether controlling staff parking areas, service roads, goods vehicle entrances or private car parks, barrier systems provide a cost-effective vehicle access control solution.
Many organisations choose barriers where vehicle throughput is important but the full perimeter security provided by an automated gate is not required.
Automatic barriers are commonly installed within:
Based in Bolton, i Security supplies, installs, repairs and maintains automatic barriers throughout Bolton, Wigan, Manchester, Lancashire and the wider North West.

Our automatic barrier projects include: • Schools • Food Manufacturing Facilities • Factories • Holiday Parks • Golf Clubs • Transport Yards
Barriers are generally used where high volumes of authorised vehicles require efficient access through a controlled entry point. Automatic gates are normally the preferred solution where physical perimeter security and resistance to unauthorised pedestrian access are primary considerations.
Yes. Many automatic barriers can integrate with ANPR systems to provide automated access control for authorised vehicles.
Yes. Automatic barriers are widely used within schools and academies to control vehicle access, improve safeguarding and manage staff and visitor parking areas.
In many cases, yes. We regularly repair and maintain automatic barriers originally installed by other providers.
Automatic barriers should typically be serviced every six months. Regular preventative maintenance helps ensure continued safe operation, reliable performance and the correct functioning of associated safety devices.
Six-monthly servicing allows engineers to inspect safety devices, moving components, control equipment and vehicle detection systems whilst identifying wear before it results in a fault, breakdown or unsafe condition.
Automatic barriers are powered systems that operate around vehicles, pedestrians and site users. Regular maintenance helps ensure safety devices, control equipment and mechanical components continue to function correctly.
Preventative maintenance can help reduce unexpected breakdowns, improve reliability and extend the operational lifespan of the barrier system.
During a preventative maintenance visit, our engineers inspect and test the key mechanical, electrical and safety components of the barrier system.
Any faults, wear or recommendations are documented and discussed following the visit.
Yes. Automatic barriers are specifically designed for locations where large numbers of authorised vehicles require efficient access whilst maintaining vehicle access control.
This makes them particularly popular for schools, commercial premises, transport yards, industrial sites and busy car parks.
If you’re looking for a new automatic barrier, barrier repairs, ANPR vehicle access control or six-monthly barrier maintenance, our team would be pleased to help.
