Custom Steel Gate and Pedestrian Entry

This was a custom gate installation on a residential property in an urban neighborhood. The homeowner needed to close off the side yard between the house and the property line while keeping the look consistent with the modern exterior of the home. We fabricated a double drive gate with a separate pedestrian entry door alongside it, all in a matching dark powder coat finish throughout.

The main gate is a solid panel design with vertical infill and an open bar section across the top which gives it privacy at the lower portion while keeping it from feeling completely closed off above. The pedestrian door to the right mirrors the same design language and hardware so the two read as one cohesive unit rather than separate pieces installed at different times.

Getting the swing and the latch hardware right on a gate this size matters for long term performance. The hinges have to be sized correctly for the weight of the panel and the posts have to be set plumb and solid in the ground so the gate holds its position over time without sagging or binding. This one was fabricated and hung correctly from the start and the homeowner has a functional, good looking entry that secures the property and fits the architecture of the house.
