Electrical & Safety Requirements for Automated Gate Systems

Installing an automated gate isn’t just about convenience—it’s about safety, compliance, and long-term reliability. In Washington State, an electrical permit and inspection from the Department of Labor & Industries (LNI) is required for any gate operator installation; although some cities like Bellevue choose to inspect themselves. Additionally, state entrapment laws mandate proper safety measures, including photo eyes, safety loops, and obstruction sensors to prevent accidents.

For gated properties, a separate pedestrian gate is also required to ensure safe access without forcing people to walk through an automated vehicle entrance. These regulations aren’t optional—they’re in place to protect lives and ensure your system operates legally and safely.

At Coho Construction, we handle all permitting, electrical work, and inspections in-house, ensuring your gate system is installed correctly, meets all safety codes, and operates seamlessly. Cutting corners isn’t an option when it comes to security and compliance—this must be done right and right changes based on where you live.

Coho Construction is your single call for everything related to your gate.
