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.

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.

Neighborhoods

Metal Gates Across Kent

East Hill, West Hill, the valley floor, Kent Station, and the commercial corridors are all minutes from the shop, and we build and automate gates across every one of them.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. 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.

No 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.

A 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.

Yes. The valley is full of warehouses and yards that need secure, automated access, and a steel slide gate is often the answer.
