Secure Alarms Inc provides reliable gate motor installation and repair throughout Baltimore County, Maryland. For over three decades, we’ve helped homeowners, HOAs and businesses automate their gates to improve access control and reduce security risks. From small private drives to high-traffic commercial lots, our team installs and services gate motors designed to fit the specific layout and entry needs of each property.

Motorized Gate Solutions for Properties Across Baltimore County

We install and repair all major types of gate operator systems, using trusted equipment from LiftMaster, DoorKing, Viking, Eagle and other manufacturers. Systems can be installed as standalone solutions or integrated with your access control or surveillance setup.

Swing Gate Motors

Swing operators are commonly used at residential and private community entrances. These gates open inward or outward, and can be operated by remote, keypad or scheduled controls. We install new systems or upgrade aging motors with quieter, more efficient models.

Sliding Gate Operators

Sliding gate systems are ideal for driveways or commercial lots where there’s limited space for gates to swing. These motors move the gate horizontally along a track, and are often paired with vehicle detection loops, keypads or smart controls.

Barrier Gate Arms

Barrier systems are used to manage vehicle entry in parking lots, private developments and business facilities. These units are fast, reliable and compatible with a range of access tools - entry cards, license plate readers or call boxes. We install and maintain barrier operators for properties with frequent traffic.

Driveway Gate Openers

Some clients need a motor for a brand-new entry gate, while others are looking to automate an existing one. We’ll recommend a system that fits your terrain, power setup and access preferences.

Gate Accessory Installations & Upgrades

We also install gate accessories such as safety loops, solar kits, magnetic locks, battery backups, warning lights and smart app controls. These features can be included with new systems or added later to enhance functionality.

What Our Clients Say About Us

“We recently automated our gate. We discussed several automation and intercom options with Craig over several weeks before finalizing our plan. We needed to coordinate with several contractors in order to get utilities in place first before our Secure Alarms completed the installation. Craig was responsive and helpful through the entire process. We worked with several of Craig’s employees over a several day install. All of them were professional, nice, and responsive. Our new automated gate works great and we are happy we used Secure Alarms.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The cost depends on several factors, including the type of gate, the motor model, site conditions and any accessories or wiring involved. We provide free estimates after reviewing your property, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins. There are no surprise fees, and we’ll walk you through all your options during the quote process.

  • In most cases, yes. If your gate is structurally sound, we can install a motor and access device without replacing the entire gate.

  • We’ll inspect the unit to determine if a repair is more cost-effective than a replacement. Many issues, like bad sensors or power loss, can be fixed the same day.

  • Yes. Ongoing service contracts are available for property managers and businesses who want regular maintenance and guaranteed response times.

  • Yes. Our team evaluates terrain before installation and recommends motor types that work well on slopes or unlevel ground. We may suggest reinforced mounting, custom arm lengths or motors designed for higher torque.

  • Most gate motors we install can include a battery backup system that keeps your gate functional during an outage. If that isn’t installed, we can show you how to manually unlock and open the gate safely.

  • Yes. Many of the systems we install work with home security platforms. If you already have smart locks, cameras or intercoms, we can connect your gate for seamless control from one interface.

  • Yes. Features like license plate recognition, RFID tags or programmable schedules can be added. These are especially useful for HOAs, delivery access or staff vehicles entering at regular times.
