Gates & access

Fence gates that still latch
in year five.

Walk gates, double drive gates, sliding driveway gates, automatic openers — and repairs for the saggers. A fence is only as good as the part of it that moves, so we build gates on the strongest posts in the line.

Pick your address, draw the fence line, place your gates, see an installed number. About a minute.

Every gate we hang

Pick the opening. Priced straight.

Installed pricing alongside your fence, any material we build — wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, farm. Gates on standalone visits carry a small-job minimum; we'll tell you the number before we roll a truck.

Walk gates

$225–$525

The everyday gate — 4 feet wide, matched to your fence material, hung on adjustable hinges with a latch that works one-handed with a grocery bag in the other. Every fence we quote includes the walk gates you actually need, placed where you live: trash-can route, mower route, dog-out-the-back route.

Double drive gates

$550–$1,100

Ten to twelve feet of clear opening for mowers, trailers, campers, and the one-day-I'll-pour-a-pad plan. Two leaves on heavy hinges with a drop rod to lock one side. If you might ever want vehicle access to the back yard, frame it now — adding it later costs more than the difference.

Sliding driveway gates

Quoted per site

For openings where swing room doesn't exist — sloped drives, short setbacks, snow country. Track or cantilever style, quoted after we see the grade and the run. Width and slope move this number more than material does.

Automatic operators

Quoted per opener class

Swing and slide operators with keypads, remotes, and safety sensors — wired or solar. Gate weight, slope, and daily cycle count decide the hardware class, so we quote after a site check instead of guessing off a satellite photo.

The engineering bit

Why gates fail — and why ours don't.

"Every sagging gate in Tippecanoe County tells the same story: the post moved. Clay heaves a concrete-set post half an inch, the hinge line goes out of plumb, and suddenly you're lifting the gate to latch it. Gate posts carry all the load in a fence — so ours are driven steel, below the frost line, and they stay where I put them."

— Dave, on the record
Driven-steel gate posts.The swing load lives on the post. No concrete plug to heave out of plumb every March.
Frames that stay square.Welded or braced frames with anti-sag hardware — not four boards and hope.
Repairs welcome.Gate re-square, re-hang, and latch alignment runs $125–$250 — see fence repair.

Code corner

Pool gates: the part that fails inspections.

Gates fail more pool inspections than every other barrier component combined. Self-closing, self-latching, outward-swinging, latch at 54 inches — and hardware that still does all of that after a winter of freeze-thaw. If there's water behind the fence, read our pool fence page for the full code walkthrough, or just bring us the inspection checklist and we'll build to pass the first walk-through.

Common questions

Gate questions, answered straight.

Cost, sag, retrofits, and openers — the ones we hear every week.

Installed with your fence: a standard 4-foot walk gate runs $225–$525 depending on material (chain link at the low end, aluminum and vinyl at the top). A 10-foot double drive gate runs $550–$1,100. Pool-code walk gates with self-closing hinges and a compliant top-pull latch run $475–$725. Sliding driveway gates are quoted per site — track, grade, and width move the number more than material does.
