A telescoping arm pushes and pulls the gate — straightforward to install and service.
Design Center
The right gate is a site question first.
Style matters, but a gate has to work with your driveway before it works with your eye — slope, width, traffic, and how fast it needs to cycle.
Find Your Gate
Three questions, one recommendation
Nothing saved — just tell us about the entrance.
Every Gate We Build
Eight ways to open
Each type solves a different mix of space, traffic, and terrain.
Driveway
Swing Gates
Hinged, single or double leaf. Needs clearance for the full arc.
Tight depthSliding Gates
Rolls on a ground track. Needs lateral run, not depth.
Rough terrainCantilever Gates
Trackless sliding — built for slopes, gravel, and snow.
High trafficVertical Pivot
Lifts up and out of the way. Compact footprint, fast cycle.
Traffic controlBarrier Gates
The arm at parking lots and communities — not a perimeter barrier.
A layer, not a typeAutomatic Gates
Any gate on this page can be motorized. Operator is a separate decision.
Code-drivenPool Gates
Self-closing, self-latching, opening away from the water.
Lowest upkeepManual Gates
No motor. Easy to automate later without replacing the gate.
A Layer, Not a Type
How automation actually works
The operator is a separate decision from the gate itself.
Set-back hinges
A jointed arm for gates hung on brick or stone pillars.
Cleanest look
The motor hides below grade — nothing visible above the gate line.
No trench to the house
Panel and battery power the operator when the gate sits far from power.
Special Consideration
If this gate is part of a pool enclosure
On top of fence height rules, the gate has three jobs of its own: self-closing, self-latching, and opening away from the water. The release typically sits at least 54 inches above grade. We confirm current local requirements before finalizing a design.
