Custom Driveway Gates in Palo Alto
Built to your entrance, your driveway, and your home's architecture, then automated.
We design and build custom driveway gates for Palo Alto in wrought iron, steel, and wood. The right gate depends on the lot: the flat, generous frontages of Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park take a classic dual swing, the many Eichler and mid-century homes around Midtown and Greenmeadow suit a clean horizontal-slat modern gate, and the sloped, longer approaches toward Palo Alto Hills often call for a sliding gate. We also handle the pedestrian gate and the fence returns so the whole entrance matches.
Every gate is engineered for its opening and finished in the powder-coat color you choose, then paired with the right operator and access control. Want a fully bespoke design? See our custom gate design work.

What our customers say
Automatic Gate Masters installed a pedestrian gate at our commercial property in San Francisco, and we couldn't be happier. Matt managed the project professionally.
They replaced my old gate with a beautiful, secure one. The workmanship is excellent, and customer service was top-notch from start to finish.
