Our Custom Gate Design Services

We focus on creating gates that match your style and needs. Our process covers everything from initial talks to picking the right materials and making detailed drawings.

Consultation and Design

We start by listening carefully to what you want. This helps us understand your style, security needs, and budget. We ask about the gate's purpose—whether for privacy, decoration, or security.


Next, we discuss design options that fit your property’s look. We consider size, shape, and how the gate will operate—swing or slide. Our team reviews local rules to ensure the design meets all codes.


We keep you involved through every step. Feedback is important so we can make changes before moving forward. This way, the finished gate matches your expectations closely.

Material Selection

Choosing the right materials is key to a strong, lasting gate. We offer options like wrought iron, steel, aluminum, and sometimes a mix. Each has different strengths and care needs.


We explain materials clearly:



  • Wrought iron: Heavy, durable, classic look, resists damage well.
  • Steel: Very strong, good for security, cost-effective.
  • Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, easier to maintain.


We also discuss finishes like powder coating or paint to protect the gate from weather and rust. Details like picket spacing, post sizes, and lock types are set during this phase.

3D Renderings and Custom Drawings

Once the design details are set, we create 3D renderings. These digital models let you see exactly how the gate will look in your space.


We use custom drawings to show every dimension and detail. This helps avoid mistakes during fabrication and installation.


You can request changes if needed before we begin making the gate. This step ensures the final product matches your vision and fits perfectly on your property.

Fabrication Techniques and Capabilities


We focus on combining careful craftsmanship with advanced tools to create strong, detailed gates. Our methods make sure every gate fits perfectly and lasts long.


Precision Metalworking


We use exact cutting, welding, and shaping tools to ensure every part of the gate is made to exact measurements. This precision helps the gate operate smoothly and fit the space perfectly.


Our metalworking includes CNC machines, plasma cutting, and automated welding systems. These tools allow us to create complex designs quickly without losing accuracy. This process also improves the gate’s strength and durability. Each piece is measured multiple times before assembly to meet strict standards.


Handcrafted Iron Detailing


Skilled artisans add unique details by hand to give each gate character. This includes scrolls, twists, and patterns that machines alone can’t produce with the same care. We shape iron by heating and hammering it carefully to create custom designs. This method lets us combine tradition with modern durability.


Handcrafted details enhance the gate’s appearance and make it one of a kind. Our team reviews each element to match client preferences exactly.


Modern Fabrication Technology


We use updated technology like 3D modeling software to design gates before fabrication. This helps us spot issues early and adjust designs for perfect results.


Laser cutting and robotic welding allow for consistent quality and faster production. These tools reduce waste and improve safety during fabrication. Combining high-tech gear with skilled labor gives us the ability to produce complex gates that meet both aesthetic and practical needs. We keep our equipment maintained to ensure top performance.

Finishing Options and Customizations

We offer a variety of finishing options to protect your gate and enhance its look. Our finishes include powder coating, which adds a strong, long-lasting layer against rust and wear. We also provide paint finishes in many colors to match your property style.


Customization is an important part of our service. You can choose from different design patterns, metal types, and ornamental details. We work with you to create a gate that fits your space and your taste exactly.



We ensure that each gate meets your specific needs. Our team helps you select options that are both practical and visually pleasing. This process lets us create gates that stand out and last longer.
