Hawaii Island · Family-owned since 1989
Automatic gate systems built for Hawaii.
Over 35 years designing, installing, and maintaining automatic gate systems across Hawaii Island. We pride ourselves on an ongoing commitment to service, safety, and professionalism — for your home, your subdivision, your business.
Why Access Controls
A gate is the first thing your property says to anyone who arrives.
We treat every install — driveway, subdivision road, commercial property — like it has to work flawlessly. Because here it does.
Built for our harsh tropical environment.
Our systems have been vetted to withstand heat, humidity, wind-driven rain, salt air, acidic vog from the volcano, and pests.
Service.
Local technicians who respond. When something needs attention, we answer the call. We provide quick, professional response with many parts on hand for repairs.
What we do
Designed, installed, kept running.
No upsells, no franchise scripts, just the work, the way it should be done for our environment and locations.

About Access Controls Hawaii
A family business in Kona doing this work since 1989.
Three generations, hundreds of gates.
We started installing automatic gates on Hawaii Island when the operators were still a fairly new invention and no safety codes existed. We immediately and voluntarily adopted any and all safety guidelines that came about, even though many installers would lag behind and still do.
Service
We show up and we follow through.
Safety
Photoeyes, edge sensors, and force settings to UL 325 and ASTM F2200 standards. Safety is the baseline.
Craft
Clean job sites, clear quotes, real warranties.
Access Controls Hawaii is the trade name of Access Controls, Ltd. — a Hawaii corporation serving the island.
“Build it like the next person who has to fix it is your kid.”
— A rule we’ve kept on the shop wall for 35 years
