About CES
A Family-Owned Security Company in San Diego County
Established 2006 in Spring Valley. 35+ years of experience in parking and vehicle access control, brought to every gate, camera and card reader we install.
Who We Are
Controlled Entry Specialists, Inc
Controlled Entry Specialists, Inc provides automated security gates, building access, and video surveillance services to San Diego County, CA and the surrounding areas.
We started in 2006 and we are still family-owned. That matters more than it sounds: a small company cannot hide behind a call centre, so we answer the phone, we return calls within 24 hours, and the technician who installed your system is the one who knows it when you call back three years later.
Our work covers the full lifecycle — we research your needs, design the system, fabricate the gate, install it, train the people who will use it, and maintain it under a renewable contract. Commercial, industrial and residential properties all get the same treatment, because a gate that fails is a problem regardless of who owns it.
How We Operate

Where We Work
Serving San Diego County and the Surrounding Areas
Our shop is at 10463 Austin Dr in Spring Valley, CA, which puts us in the middle of East County and within easy reach of the South Bay, the city of San Diego, and North County.
We work on gated communities and HOAs, business parks, industrial yards, retail, banks, warehouses and single-family homes — and we are just as willing to reprogram a resident's remote as to fabricate a gate from scratch.
