Our Electric Gate Installation Services
We focus on making sure every part of your electric gate installation fits your property’s needs perfectly. From studying your site to designing gates that match your style and managing the entire installation process, we cover all steps carefully.
Site Assessments
We start by visiting your property to examine the space where the gate will go. We measure the area, check ground levels, and look at nearby structures like walls or driveways. This helps us understand any challenges we might face.
Our team also inspects electrical access for the gate opener. We verify power sources and plan wiring routes to make sure the system runs smoothly and safely. This step ensures we avoid any surprises during installation.
By doing a detailed assessment, we can recommend the best type of gate and materials. This builds a strong foundation for a successful installation.
Custom Design Consultation
We meet with you to discuss your style preferences and security needs. Whether you want a simple functional gate or one with decorative ironwork, we help you choose the perfect design.
We show you examples and talk about materials, colors, and automation options. Our goal is to create a gate that looks good and matches your property’s character while working reliably.
This consultation also covers control methods like keypad entry, remote controls, or smartphone access. We make sure you get a setup that is easy for you to use everyday.

Types of Electric Gates We Install
We install several types of electric gates to fit different needs and property layouts. Each type offers unique benefits in terms of space, security, and style. Our choices focus on reliability and ease of use.
Swing Gate Systems
Swing gates open inward or outward like a door. They work well for driveways with enough space to allow the gate to swing freely. We offer single and double swing gates that match your property's design. These gates use arms or underground motors for smooth opening and closing. Swing gates are easy to install and maintain. They provide strong security with reliable locking mechanisms.
Sliding Gate Solutions
Sliding gates move sideways along a track. They are ideal for properties with limited space in front or behind the gate. Sliding gates can handle wider openings than swing gates. Our sliding gates come with automatic motors and safety sensors to prevent accidents. They require a clear path along the fence line and are great for heavy gates. These gates give consistent performance in all weather.
Custom Gate Options
We create custom electric gates tailored to your style and security needs. This includes special materials, decorative designs, and unique sizes. Custom gates blend function with personal taste.
Our team works closely with customers to design gates that fit well with their home or business. We ensure the automation system suits the gate’s weight and usage frequency. Custom gates include additional features like keypad entry or intercom systems.
Safety and Compliance Standards
We follow all local and state safety rules for electric gate installation. Our work meets the California Electrical Code and building regulations to ensure every gate is safe to use.
Our gates include safety features like automatic stop and reverse functions. These features prevent accidents if something blocks the gate while it is closing or opening.
We also use materials and parts that are approved and tested for durability and safety. This helps avoid electrical hazards or mechanical failures.
To keep our work fully compliant, we carry out inspections before and after installation. We ensure all wiring is correct and protected, and that motors function as expected. We make safety a top priority to protect your family and property. Our team stays updated on new safety laws and technology to provide the best service.
