Types of Manual Gates We Offer
We provide a range of manual gate options designed to fit different spaces and needs. Each type has specific features that affect installation, use, and durability. This helps you choose the right gate for your property.
Swing Gates
Swing gates open inward or outward on hinges, like a door. They work well in areas with enough clearance for the gate to fully swing open. We build these gates to be strong and easy to operate by hand.
Our swing gates come in single or double panels depending on your entrance size. You can choose simple designs for security or more decorative styles for a custom look. They are low maintenance and suitable for both residential and commercial use.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates move sideways along a track and are ideal where space for swinging is limited. These gates slide parallel to the fence or wall, making them perfect for tight driveways or sloped terrain.
We install sliding gates with durable rollers and track systems to ensure smooth manual operation. This type demands precise installation to work properly, something we focus on to avoid future issues. Sliding gates offer reliable security without needing extra space.
Custom Gates
Our custom iron gates combine strength with a personalized design. We work closely with you to create gates that fit your style and security needs. From simple iron bars to intricate patterns, we tailor each gate to your preferences.
These gates are hand-forged and built for lasting use outdoors. We consider factors like gate size, weight, and opening type during design to ensure ease of operation. Custom iron gates bring elegance and function to any property.
Material and Design Options
We offer a variety of materials and design choices to fit different needs and styles. Our options focus on durability, appearance, and customization to match your property’s look.
Wrought Iron Gates
Wrought iron is a strong, long-lasting material we use for manual gates. It offers great security and can be shaped into many designs without losing strength. We choose wrought iron because it resists impact and can last for decades with proper care.
These gates need some maintenance to prevent rust, but we apply protective coatings to extend their life. The classic look of wrought iron works well for both modern and traditional homes. We can create simple gates or detailed patterns based on your preferences.
Powder-Coated Finishes
We use powder-coated finishes to protect gates from weather and wear. This process covers the iron with a tough, colored layer that won’t chip or fade easily. It also helps prevent rust, making gates stronger over time. You can pick from many colors and textures, like smooth matte or grainy finishes. These coatings keep gates looking new with little upkeep. We recommend powder coating if you want lasting protection along with style.
Decorative Styles and Customization
We provide many decorative options to make your gate unique. You can choose elements like scrolls, finials, and custom shapes. These details add personality and improve curb appeal.
Our team works with you to design gates that fit your property size and style preferences. Whether you want a simple look or ornate art, we tailor the design to your needs. Customization also includes gate size, height, and function to fit your space perfectly.
Safety and Compliance Standards
We follow all local and national safety rules when installing manual gates. This ensures the gates work properly and protect your property. We check that every part meets industry standards before installation.
Our team uses certified materials to avoid risks like rust or malfunction. We also make sure the gate is properly grounded and fixed securely to prevent accidents.
During installation, we keep the work area safe for everyone. We use warning signs and barriers if needed to protect people nearby. We comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines when required. This makes sure gates are easy to use and accessible to all.
We document all safety steps for transparency. If you have questions about safety or rules, our team is ready to explain.
