A driveway gate is the one part of a perimeter with a motor on it — the piece that has to perform on demand, every day, and still stop someone who wants in. We specify the automation first and build the gate to suit it: an operator sized to your real traffic, safety loops, backup power, and a manual release, fabricated in our own shop and drawn for your site before any steel is cut.
Glendale runs one of the stricter hillside ordinances in the county, and much of the city north of the 134 sits inside it: grading for gate footings, retaining walls — capped near five feet of exposed height, three at most in succession — and any fence over three feet visible from the street all draw design review there. We build the submittal to the hillside standard, not the flatland one, when the parcel calls for it.
Glendale gate work is driveway gates on the hillside streets of Chevy Chase Canyon, Verdugo Woodlands and Oakmont, where the drive is steep and the footings go through hillside review, and garage and pedestrian gates for apartment buildings near the Brand Boulevard core.

Grade, span, power and how vehicles approach the entrance.
You approve the design and hardware before steel is cut.
Welded and finished in our shop — not drop-shipped.
Set, automated, and tested at every safety device before we leave.
Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
Most driveway gates are fabricated and installed within four to six weeks of drawing approval, depending on span and finish.
Often yes, and HOA approval as well, depending on the city. We handle the drawings and submittals, including fire-department access requirements.
Every install includes battery backup and a manual release, so the gate keeps cycling through an outage and can always be opened by hand.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
We protect people, property, and peace.
