Secure, Stylish, and Built to Last—Custom Gate Solutions from Gateway Automation
When it comes to protecting your home, enhancing curb appeal, and streamlining access, few additions make as immediate an impact as a custom residential driveway gate. At Gateway Automation, driveway gates aren’t just something we offer—they’re what we do best. With decades of experience crafting tailored entry solutions for homes across the region, we understand that no two properties—or homeowners—are alike.
That’s why we offer two versatile, high-performing gate systems: swing gates and slide gates. While they both serve the same purpose—security, convenience, and visual appeal—they each bring unique strengths depending on your property layout and personal preferences.
The Elegance and Strength of Swing Gates
Swing gates remain a classic choice for homeowners who value a strong visual presence. Designed to open inward, they create a graceful movement that mirrors the traditional estate entrance—ideal for properties with ample space behind the gate line. Swing gates often sit higher than slide gates, making them a more robust physical and visual barrier. That added height doesn’t just look impressive—it also acts as a stronger deterrent to trespassers.
These gates can be expertly mounted to either free-standing steel posts or integrated seamlessly with masonry pillars. And thanks to our deep foundations and frost-proof installation methods, you won’t have to worry about seasonal shifting or warping. Whether you prefer the rustic charm of wood, the sleek profile of aluminum, or the timeless durability of iron or steel, every swing gate is custom-crafted to your vision and paired with the best motors and controls in the industry.
Sliding Gates: A Smart Solution for Challenging Driveways
Not all driveways are created equal. If your property features a steep grade, uneven terrain, or gravel paving, a sliding gate may be the superior choice. Instead of swinging inward, these gates slide horizontally along the fence line using either a roller track or a cantilever system that eliminates the need for ground rails.
This type of gate offers efficient space-saving benefits—ideal for urban lots or tight configurations—and can be configured to slide telescopically when space is limited. Like our swing gates, sliding gates can be fabricated from wood, iron, steel, or aluminum to match your aesthetic while maintaining high performance and durability.
Built to Last—Guaranteed
No matter which style you choose, all of our gates are backed by the best warranty in the industry. Gateway Automation is committed to providing residential gate systems that go the distance—withstanding the elements, operating smoothly, and offering peace of mind for years to come.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our team works closely with you to design and install a gate that fits your home, your driveway, and your lifestyle. And with options like remote controls, keypads, smartphone integration, and access systems, you’ll enjoy security and convenience at your fingertips.
Choosing Between Swing and Slide Gates
Still unsure which gate suits your property best? Here are a few things to consider:
Space behind the gate: If space is limited or your driveway slopes upward, a slide gate may be better.
Aesthetic preference: Swing gates offer a grander, more traditional look.
Ground conditions: Gravel or uneven surfaces are often more compatible with sliding gates.
Security concerns: Taller swing gates may offer better visual deterrence.
The Gateway Advantage
Choosing a residential driveway gate isn’t just about function—it’s about creating an entryway that reflects your home’s personality and protects what matters most. At Gateway Automation, our gates do both. From the first design sketch to the final weld, every detail is handled with precision, care, and a commitment to excellence.
