Our Cantilever Gate Installation Services
We deliver precise gate designs, careful site checks, and sturdy assembly to ensure your cantilever gate functions smoothly and fits perfectly.
Custom Design and Fabrication
We start by creating a gate design that matches your property's style and size requirements. Our team works with durable materials like steel and aluminum, tailored to resist weather and wear.
Every gate is built to your specifications, including style, color, and finish. We can add automation features, such as motorized openers, to increase security and convenience.
Our fabrication process follows strict quality controls. This ensures the gate is stable, balanced, and ready to handle daily use without issues or extra maintenance.
Site Evaluation and Preparation
Before installation, we conduct a thorough site evaluation to check ground level, space, and any obstacles. This helps determine the proper gate size and track alignment.
We inspect the soil to ensure the foundation can support the gate’s weight and movement. If needed, we recommend foundation reinforcements or adjustments to guarantee stability.
We clear the installation path and verify power access for electrical gate components. This preparation prevents delays and supports smooth operation once installed.
Gate Assembly and Mounting
Our team assembles the gate components carefully on site. We check each part for alignment and fit before mounting.
We install the gate on a precise track system that allows smooth sliding without sagging. This track is secured firmly to withstand heavy gate weight.
Final mounting includes installing any motorized openers and safety sensors. We test the gate fully to ensure reliable operation, smooth movement, and secure locking.
Materials and Customization Options
We provide a variety of materials and finishes to match your needs for durability and style. Our options include strong metals and customizable coatings. You can also choose decorative features that add both function and appeal.
Iron and Steel Options
We use both wrought iron and steel for our cantilever gates. Wrought iron offers a classic look with a solid feel. It resists bending and is strong enough for security needs.
Steel gates are heavier but extremely durable. They can handle daily wear and resist damage from weather better than some other metals. Our steel gates often come with a galvanized finish to stop rust before powder coating. Both materials can be made to fit different sizes and weight requirements. We help you select the best metal based on your gate’s location and purpose.
Powder Coating Finishes
Powder coating protects gates from rust, scratches, and fading. It covers the metal with a tough, even layer that lasts longer than paint. We offer many colors, including black, bronze, white, and custom shades. Matte, glossy, and textured finishes are all available. This lets you blend your gate with your home or property style. The coating also makes cleaning simpler. A quick rinse or wipe keeps the gate looking new for years.
Decorative Features
Customization goes beyond material and color. We can add scrolls, finials, and other ironwork details to enhance your gate’s look. These features can be simple or complex, depending on your taste. They also add extra strength at key points of the gate. We work closely with you to design elements that fit your style and budget. These additions make your gate unique while improving its overall function.
Automation and Access Control Integration
We focus on making gates easy to use and secure with the latest technology. Our systems combine smooth automation with strong access control to give you full control over who enters your property.
Automated Gate Systems
Our cantilever gates come with reliable motorized openers designed for smooth and quiet operation. These systems handle heavy gates without strain, reducing wear and tear.
We install keypads, remote controls, and sensors that allow automatic opening and closing. This reduces the need to leave your vehicle and helps control traffic flow easily. Meanwhile, the motors include safety features like obstacle detection to stop gate movement if something blocks the path. We make sure each setup matches the gate size and weight for optimal performance.
Smart Access Controls

We offer several access control options to secure your entrance. These include key fobs, smartphone apps, and biometric readers for fingerprint or facial recognition.
Our systems can log entries and exits, useful for monitoring who accesses your property and when. You can grant temporary or permanent access to visitors remotely through secure apps. We integrate these controls with your gate automation so the gate responds only to authorized users. This ensures convenience without compromising safety or privacy.
