Types of Sliding Gates We Install
Built specifically for your property and your terrain
V-Track Sliding Gates
V-track gates ride along a steel rail embedded in the ground. They handle slopes, wind, and heavy use without skipping a beat. This type works great on flat driveways and mild grades.
- Primarily flat, paved driveways
- Residential estates
- Cost-effective installations
- Heavy-duty gate panels
Telescoping Sliding Gates
Telescoping gates use multiple panels that stack behind each other when opening, requiring far less side clearance than a standard sliding gate. This makes them ideal for tight lots or driveways without room for a single-panel slide.
- Properties with limited side space
- Narrow lots and tight driveways
- Wide openings in compact spaces
- Also modern architectural designs
Cantilever Sliding Gates
Cantilever gates are suspended above the ground on a roller system mounted to one side, meaning there is no track on the ground at all. This makes them ideal for uneven terrain, gravel driveways, or areas prone to debris buildup that would jam a standard V-track system.
- Uneven or sloped driveways
- Gravel or unpaved surfaces
- Snow and debris-prone areas
- Wide commercial entrances

Premium Gate Materials
We use contractor-grade materials on every job
Wrought Iron
hand-forged iron that holds up for decades. In fact, wrought iron gates look sharp and take a beating from weather and daily use.
Aluminum
Similarly, lightweight, rust-proof, and low maintenance. In particular, aluminum gates work well in coastal areas where salt air eats through other metals.
Steel
The go-to for commercial and industrial sites. Steel gates are heavy-duty, hard to damage, and built for high-traffic entrances.
Wood & Iron Combo
Alternatively, real wood panels on a welded iron frame. As a result, you get the privacy and look of a wood gate without worrying about warping or sagging over time.
Sliding Gate Openers & Automation
every gate we install can be paired with an automatic opener. We use LiftMaster, FAAC, DoorKing, and Linear because they hold up and we don't get callback issues.
Our motorized gate systems include smartphone access, safety sensors, backup battery, and integration with your existing intercom or security system. We match the right motor to your gate's size and weight, residential or commercial.

Sliding Gate FAQ
Below, common questions about our sliding gate services
costs vary based on size, material, and automation features. Every sliding gate is custom quoted based on size, material, track requirements, and automation features. Custom wrought iron or large commercial gates can range higher depending on specifications. Call us for a free estimate based on your setup. We also install automatic gate openers that can be bundled with your gate installation for a package price.
Most residential gate installations are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the project. Custom fabrication typically takes 2 to 4 weeks before installation begins. Commercial projects may take longer. We provide a clear timeline during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
these gates benefit from periodic lubrication of tracks and rollers, inspection of the motor and safety sensors, and cleaning of the gate surface. We recommend professional maintenance once or twice a year. In addition, our team offers affordable maintenance plans to keep your driveway gate operating smoothly year-round.
Installation, Permits & Warranty Details
Undoubtedly, an electric (motorized) gate offers far greater convenience, especially for daily use. For instance, with features like smartphone access, remote control, and cell gate intercoms, you can open your gate from anywhere. On the other hand, manual gates are less expensive upfront but lack the security and convenience benefits. Ultimately, most of our Bay Area customers choose electric for the added value and security.
permit requirements vary by city and county in the Bay Area. Most jurisdictions require a building permit for motorized gates and gates above a certain height. However, we handle the entire permitting process for you, including drawings and submissions, so you don't have to worry about compliance. In fact, our team is familiar with local codes across all Bay Area cities.
Every install comes with a full parts and labor warranty. Each project includes a 1-2 year labor warranty. gate openers and automation components are also covered by manufacturer warranties (typically 3 to 5 years). Ask about warranty details during your free estimate.
