About
Automated Gates Built From Right Here in Kent
Our shop and showroom are in Kent, so this is the city we reach fastest for a gate project, from a home driveway on East Hill to a secure sliding gate on a Kent Valley yard. Everything is fabricated in-house, and local jobs carry no travel charge.
We build fully custom gates, prefab horizontal slat gates, and vertical gates custom or prefab, in aluminum, steel, or a metal frame with wood infill, and automate swing or slide gates for homes and businesses alike.
Right here at home, our Kent gates are produced in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their gate and access expertise with the fabrication and automation we do in our own shop.
What We Build
Gate Designs: Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical
All three builds come out of the same Kent shop, for homes and commercial sites, and all can be automated.
Custom Fabricated Gates
Custom fabricated gates cover an ornamental home entrance or a heavy-duty commercial driveway, welded to any design minutes from where it will stand.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Gates
Prefab horizontal slat gates give updated Kent homes a modern entrance in an efficient build that matches a slat fence.
Vertical Gates, Custom or Prefab
Vertical gates give the traditional upright line, custom fabricated for an exact match or set as a quality prefab panel for a simple opening.
Slat Materials
Gate Materials: Aluminum, Steel, or Wood Infill
We stock and finish all of these in the shop, for residential and commercial gates alike.
Aluminum and Steel Gates
Aluminum keeps a residential gate light and rust-free; steel is the workhorse for commercial slide gates and security entrances that run all day. Both are powder-coated in our standard range.
Metal Frame with Wood Infill
A metal frame with real wood infill pairs a strong frame with natural boards for a warm residential entrance, on a gate that stays square through the valley winters.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open Gates
Infill spacing sets how much a gate screens, at home or on a commercial frontage.
Privacy
Solid or tight infill screens a backyard or a commercial yard gate completely from the street.
Semi Privacy
An even gap softens a residential gate while still cutting the sightline from the sidewalk.
Open & Architectural
Open spacing suits a front entrance or a commercial frontage that needs definition, not concealment.
Automation
Automated Swing and Slide Gates in Kent
Both swing and slide gates can be automated, for a home driveway or a commercial yard that needs controlled access. We build and install the automation to open by remote, keypad code, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that reads an approaching vehicle.
Swing Gates
Swing gates hinge open like a door, the classic residential look for a level driveway with room to arc.
Slide Gates
Slide gates roll to the side along the fence line, the standard for a Kent Valley commercial yard or a short residential driveway.
Every automated gate includes safety sensors that stop and reverse it if something is in the path, and we can add a keypad, intercom, or remote so residents, staff, and deliveries move through easily.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Kent Gates
Right here in Kent we laser cut custom metal panels into gates, so an entrance can carry a business logo, a name, or a pattern. The panels build into both custom and prefab gates, and this work is done in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro.

Communities and New Builds
Working With Kent HOAs and New Construction
Kent’s newer East Hill plats and townhome communities frequently run gate choices through an HOA. We supply the drawings and color samples the review needs, shaped to the guidelines.
On new construction, local logistics work in your favor: we coordinate the gate and its automation directly with your builder and are close enough to fine-tune it on short notice.

Customer Reviews for Custom Railings WA
See What Our Customers Are Saying
Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you put our business logo on the gate?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T16:13:26-07:00Yes. We laser cut custom metal panels in our Kent shop, which can carry a business logo, a name, or a pattern, and build them into either a custom or a prefab gate. It is a clean way to brand a commercial entrance or personalize a home gate.
Is there a travel charge on a Kent gate?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T16:12:57-07:00No travel charge on Kent jobs, since our shop and showroom are right here. Being local also means we can usually come measure quickly, fabricate up the road, and come back easily to fine-tune the automation or add a matching section later.
Swing or slide gate, and can you automate it?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T16:12:22-07:00A swing gate suits a level residential drive with room to arc; a slide gate rolls along the fence line and is the standard for commercial yards and short or sloped driveways. Both can be fully automated. The gate opens by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a vehicle sensor, with safety sensors that stop it if something is in the way.
Do you build automated commercial gates in the Kent Valley?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T16:11:51-07:00Yes. The valley is full of warehouses and yards that need secure, automated access, and a steel slide gate is often the answer. We fabricate and automate commercial gates finished for heavy, all-day use, and being local we handle measurement, installation, and any later service quickly, with no travel charge on a Kent job.
