Driveway Gate Services in Orange County

Types of Driveway Gates

Swing gates open like traditional doors, pivoting on hinges. They're suitable for level driveways with ample space. Sliding gates move horizontally along a track, ideal for sloped or limited-space areas.


We offer metal gates in various styles, from ornate wrought iron to modern aluminum designs. Wood gates provide a classic look but require more maintenance.


Automated gates can be operated via remote control, keypad, or smartphone app. Manual gates are more budget-friendly but less convenient.

The Role of Driveway Gates in Security

Driveway gates act as a physical barrier, deterring unauthorized entry. They create a secure perimeter around a property, keeping intruders out and children and pets safely inside.


We recommend gates with intercoms or video systems for enhanced security. These allow homeowners to screen visitors before granting access.


Robust locks and anti-lift mechanisms on sliding gates prevent forced entry. For swing gates, we install strong hinges and latches to resist tampering.

Selecting Your Driveway Gate

Materials and Design

Driveway gates come in various materials, each with unique benefits. Metal gates, particularly wrought iron and steel, offer durability and security. Aluminum provides a lightweight, rust-resistant option. Wood gates add warmth and natural beauty but require more maintenance.
