Custom Metal Gate Solutions
We design and build gates that combine strength, security, and style. Our focus is on durable materials, precise craftsmanship, and designs that match the needs of each property.
Residential Metal Gates
We create metal gates that improve both security and curb appeal for homes. Our team works with steel, iron, and aluminum to provide long-lasting options that stand up to daily use and weather.
Each project begins with a site review to ensure proper fit and function. We measure carefully, plan for the right swing or slide operation, and account for driveways, walkways, and property layout.
Homeowners often choose from styles such as:
- Classic wrought iron for a traditional look
- Modern horizontal slats for a clean design
- Decorative patterns for a unique appearance
We also integrate locks, latches, and automation systems when needed. This ensures the gate not only looks good but also works smoothly and provides reliable access control.
Custom Fabrication Options
We handle custom fabrication in-house to give clients flexibility in design. This means we can adjust height, width, and materials to match specific requirements.
Our process includes CAD design and precision welding to produce consistent results. We also offer a range of finishes, such as powder coating, galvanizing, or painted surfaces, to improve durability and match the property’s style.
For homeowners who want a personal touch, we can add details like scrollwork, initials, or custom panels. These features allow the gate to reflect the character of the property while maintaining strength and function.
By controlling every stage of production, we ensure each gate meets our quality standards and fits the exact needs of the project.
Commercial Metal Gates
We design and install commercial metal gates that provide security and durability for businesses in Burbank. Our team builds each gate to handle heavy use while maintaining a professional appearance.
We offer different styles to fit various needs, including:
- Swing gates for smaller entry points
- Sliding gates for large driveways or loading areas
- Custom designs to match specific property layouts
Each gate uses strong materials like steel or iron to ensure long-lasting performance. We also provide options for manual or automated operation, depending on the level of control required.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Heavy-duty metal | Withstands daily commercial use |
| Automation available | Improves access control |
| Custom fabrication | Fits unique property layouts |
We focus on making gates that are both functional and easy to maintain. Our team handles everything from measurement to installation, so businesses can rely on a smooth process.
With our commercial metal gates, property owners can manage access more effectively and maintain a secure environment for staff, customers, and deliveries.
Electric Gate Services
We provide reliable solutions that focus on safety, convenience, and long-term performance. Our work covers new installations, dependable repairs, and upgrades that improve how your gate operates.
Automatic Gate Installation
We install automatic gates that combine security with easy access. Our team helps select gate designs and materials that fit the property, whether it is residential or commercial. We make sure the system matches the layout and meets all safety standards.
During installation, we handle the full process, including wiring, motor setup, and control systems. We also integrate features such as keypads, remote entry, and safety sensors.
Benefits of professional installation include:
- Smooth and quiet operation
- Stronger property security
- Longer system lifespan
- Proper alignment and safety compliance
We test every system before finishing the job. This ensures the gate opens and closes correctly, responds to controls, and provides consistent performance.
Electric Gate Repair
We service gates that stop working, make unusual noises, or fail to open and close properly. Common issues include worn hinges, damaged wiring, faulty sensors, or broken motors. We inspect the system to find the exact problem and then make the needed repairs.
Our repair services cover:
- Replacing damaged parts
- Fixing electrical connections
- Adjusting alignment
- Restoring safety features
We carry the tools and parts needed for most repairs, which helps reduce downtime. By addressing problems quickly, we prevent further damage and extend the life of the gate.
We also recommend routine inspections to catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
Gate Motor Upgrades
We upgrade gate motors to improve speed, reliability, and efficiency. Older motors often slow down, make noise, or struggle with heavier gates. A new motor can handle more weight, use less power, and provide smoother operation.
When upgrading, we match the motor to the size and type of gate. We also program the system to work with existing controls like remotes, keypads, or smartphone apps.
Reasons to upgrade a gate motor:
- Quieter performance
- Faster opening and closing
- Better energy efficiency
- Increased durability
We make sure the new motor is installed correctly and tested for safe operation. This gives property owners a dependable system that works as expected every day.
Design and Consultation Process
We focus on building gates that fit the property and the owner’s needs. Our process makes it easier to choose the right design and materials without unnecessary delays or confusion.
Material Selection Guidance
We guide clients through the material options to balance durability, appearance, and maintenance needs. The most common choices include wrought iron, steel, and aluminum. Each has unique strengths that affect cost and long-term performance.
| Material | Key Benefits | Maintenance Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Wrought Iron | Strong, classic appearance | Requires coating to prevent rust |
| Steel | Durable, secure, versatile designs | Needs protective finish |
| Aluminum | Lightweight, rust-resistant | Low maintenance |
We explain how each material responds to local weather conditions in Burbank. For example, aluminum resists rust in outdoor environments, while steel offers higher strength for heavy-duty gates.
Clients can also choose from different finishes, such as powder coating or paint, to match the property’s style. We provide samples and color charts so the selection process is clear and straightforward.
By reviewing both function and appearance, we help clients select materials that meet their goals without unnecessary upkeep.
Personalized Design Consultations
We begin by discussing the layout of the property, style preferences, and security needs. This helps us understand how the gate should function and look. We also review measurements and access points to ensure the design is practical.
During the consultation, we share examples of past projects and design sketches. This gives clients a clear idea of how different styles would work with their property. We adjust details such as gate height, width, and automation features based on feedback.
Our team also explains the benefits and limitations of each design choice. For example, a sliding gate may save space in smaller driveways, while a swing gate can provide a more traditional look. By comparing options, clients can decide with confidence.
We document all preferences and requirements in writing. This step ensures accuracy during the fabrication and installation stages.
Access Control Systems
We provide secure and convenient ways to manage who enters your property. Our systems focus on reliable technology that balances safety with ease of use.
Keypad Entry Solutions
We install keypad entry systems that give property owners direct control over access. With a keypad, you can set unique codes for family, employees, or service providers. This allows you to track and manage entry without handing out physical keys.
Our keypads feature weather-resistant designs and backlit displays for easy use at night. Many models also allow temporary codes that expire after a set time. This is useful for deliveries, contractors, or short-term visitors.
We recommend keypad systems for both residential and commercial gates. They provide a balance of security and convenience while reducing the risk of lost or copied keys. By updating or deleting codes, you can maintain control without replacing hardware.
Remote Access Integration
We offer remote access systems that let you open and close gates from a distance. These systems often use wireless remotes, smartphone apps, or integrated intercoms. With remote access, you can control entry without leaving your vehicle or being on-site.
Our solutions include encrypted signals to prevent unauthorized use. Some systems also support scheduling, so gates can open or close at specific times. This is especially helpful for businesses with regular operating hours.
We also provide options that connect to mobile devices. This allows you to receive alerts and manage entry even when you are away. With remote integration, you gain flexibility while keeping your property secure.
Maintenance and Emergency Services
We keep gates working safely and reliably through scheduled upkeep and fast response when problems happen. Our team focuses on preventing costly breakdowns and fixing urgent issues without delay.
Routine Maintenance Plans
We design maintenance schedules that match the type of gate, how often it is used, and the environment it operates in. A gate at a busy commercial property needs more frequent checks than one at a private home.
Our maintenance visits include:
- Lubricating hinges and moving parts
- Inspecting electrical wiring and connections
- Testing safety sensors and controls
- Adjusting alignment and balance
We also check for early signs of wear, such as loose bolts or frayed wiring, so we can correct them before they cause failures. This helps extend the lifespan of both the gate and its motor.
By keeping a consistent schedule, we reduce the risk of sudden breakdowns and improve daily operation. Clients can choose monthly, quarterly, or annual plans depending on their needs.
24/7 Emergency Repairs
When a gate stops working, it can block access or create a safety concern. We provide emergency service at any time of day or night to restore function quickly.
Our technicians arrive with the tools and common replacement parts needed to handle most issues on the spot. This includes motors, sensors, control boards, and keypads.
We respond to problems such as:
- Gate stuck in open or closed position
- Motor failure or overheating
- Broken safety sensors
- Electrical short or wiring damage
By offering 24/7 support, we make sure clients are not left waiting until business hours to regain secure and reliable access.
