Our Installation Process

We follow a structured approach to ensure your barrier arm gate is installed correctly and functions reliably. Our methodical process guarantees optimal performance while meeting your specific security requirements.

Site Inspection

We begin every project with a thorough site assessment to determine the optimal placement for your barrier arm gate. Our technicians evaluate traffic patterns, space constraints, and existing infrastructure to ensure proper positioning.


During this consultation, we discuss your specific needs and security concerns. Whether you're managing a residential community, commercial property, or industrial facility, we tailor our recommendations accordingly.


We measure the entry point width and assess the surrounding area to identify any potential installation challenges. This careful planning helps us avoid unexpected issues during installation.

Customization and Design

Based on our initial assessment, we create a customized barrier arm gate solution that fits your unique situation. We offer various arm lengths ranging from 10 to 20 feet to accommodate different driveway widths.



We help you select from multiple control options including keypads, card readers, remote controls, and smartphone integration. Our systems can be programmed for specific access schedules or linked to your existing security infrastructure.


Safety features are integrated into every design, including photocell sensors that prevent the arm from closing when vehicles are present. We also incorporate LED lighting options to improve visibility during nighttime operation.

Professional Installation

Our certified technicians handle every aspect of the installation process with precision and care. We begin by establishing a solid foundation, typically using concrete footings to ensure stability and longevity.


We carefully mount the barrier housing unit, ensuring it's perfectly level and properly anchored. Our team then installs the arm mechanism, balancing it for smooth operation and minimal wear on components.


All electrical connections are made according to code requirements, with proper grounding and weatherproofing. We run conduit for control wiring to protect against environmental damage and tampering.

Types of Barrier Arm Gate Systems

We offer a variety of barrier arm gate systems to meet different security and traffic management needs. Our expertise allows us to recommend the perfect solution for your commercial, industrial, or residential property.

Hydraulic Barrier Arms

Hydraulic barrier arm systems utilize fluid pressure to operate the gate arm, providing smooth and reliable operation. These systems are ideal for high-traffic areas as they can withstand frequent use without overheating.



They offer exceptional durability and are often used in parking garages, toll booths, and commercial properties where continuous operation is required. Most hydraulic systems include safety features like pressure sensors to prevent damage to vehicles.

Electric Barrier Arms

Electric barrier arm gates use motors to control the movement of the arm. These systems are energy-efficient and provide quick operation, with many models capable of raising or lowering in 1-3 seconds.



We install electric barrier arms with battery backup capabilities to ensure functionality during power outages. These systems are perfect for residential communities, office complexes, and locations with moderate traffic flow.

Manual/Automatic Hybrid Systems

Hybrid barrier systems combine the reliability of manual operation with the convenience of automation. These versatile gates can be programmed for automatic function during business hours and secured manually after hours.



They typically feature override capabilities for emergency situations. Our hybrid systems are customizable with various control options including keypads, card readers, and mobile applications for maximum security and convenience.

Customers often have specific inquiries about barrier arm gate installation before committing to this security solution. We've compiled the most common questions to help you understand our process and expertise.

  • How much does barrier arm gate installation cost in Newport Beach?

    Barrier arm gate installation in Newport Beach typically costs between $3,500-$7,000 for standard commercial systems. Basic residential installations start around $2,800, while high-end systems with advanced features can reach $10,000+. Factors affecting price include arm length, motor quality, access control integration, safety features, and installation complexity. Additional costs may apply for concrete work, electrical connections, or custom finishes.

  • How durable are barrier arm gates in coastal Newport Beach conditions?

    Barrier arm gates installed by Guardian are specifically engineered for Newport Beach's coastal environment. We use marine-grade aluminum housings, stainless steel internal components, and specialized protective coatings to resist salt air corrosion. Our systems feature sealed electronics, weather-resistant cabinets, and UV-stabilized arm materials. With proper maintenance, these coastal-optimized barrier arms typically last 12-15 years even in direct oceanfront installations.

  • How long does barrier arm gate installation typically take?

    Standard barrier arm gate installation takes 1-2 business days:


    • Day 1: Foundation preparation, concrete work, conduit installation
    • Day 2: Barrier mechanism mounting, electrical connections, programming, testing

    Simple installations with existing infrastructure can be completed in a single day. We coordinate with property managers to minimize disruption to traffic flow during installation.

  • How fast can barrier arm gates open and close?

    Modern barrier arm gates offer impressive cycle speeds:


    • Standard commercial systems: 2-3 seconds opening/closing time
    • High-speed models: 0.7-1.5 seconds for specialized applications
    • Adjustable speed settings to balance security and traffic flow
    • Smooth acceleration/deceleration profiles to reduce wear

    Speed can be customized based on your specific traffic management requirements.

  • Are barrier arm gates suitable for high-traffic commercial properties?

    Yes, barrier arm gates excel in high-traffic commercial environments. They're designed for continuous duty cycles of 10,000+ operations daily without overheating. Features include industrial-grade motors, reinforced gearboxes, and sophisticated loop detection systems for efficient vehicle processing. Their rapid operation prevents traffic backups, while variable speed controls can be optimized for peak/off-peak periods. We install systems rated for 3-5 million cycles before major service, ideal for busy commercial properties.
