About

Custom Gates Matched to Your Kirkland Metalwork

A Kirkland gate benefits from something specific about our shop: we build the fences, railings, and gates together, so a new driveway or walk gate can share one finish and profile with everything else on the property instead of clashing with it.

We fabricate fully custom gates, build prefab horizontal slat gates, and offer vertical gates custom or prefab, in aluminum, steel, or a metal frame with wood infill, all finished for the lakeside air, with swing or slide automation.

We build our Kirkland gates in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their gate and access expertise with the fabrication and automation we handle in our own shop.

What We Build

Gate Designs: Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical

Three builds, all matchable to the metalwork already on your property, and all automatable.

Custom Fabricated Gates

Custom fabricated gates are welded to any design and matched to an existing fence or railing, for a driveway or walk gate that belongs with the rest of the property.

Prefab Horizontal Slat Gates

Prefab horizontal slat gates give lakeside contemporary homes a clean, modern entrance in an efficient build that resists the humid air.

Vertical Gates, Custom or Prefab

Vertical gates give the upright, traditional line, custom fabricated for an exact match or set as a quality prefab panel for a simpler opening.

Slat Materials

Gate Materials: Aluminum, Steel, or Wood Infill

Near the water the gate material becomes a real decision, and each option answers it differently.

Aluminum and Steel Gates

Near the water, aluminum’s immunity to rust keeps an automated gate moving smoothly; steel serves set-back lots and any wide or security gate. Both take marine-friendly powder-coats.

Metal Frame with Wood Infill

A metal frame with real wood infill pairs a true-running frame with natural boards, giving a lakeside gate genuine wood warmth without sacrificing a square, reliable swing.

Privacy Levels

Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open Gates

From sealed to open, infill spacing tunes what the gate shows of the property.

Privacy

Solid or tight infill closes a driveway or lakeside courtyard gate off from the path and the neighbors entirely.

Semi Privacy

A slim gap keeps the lake breeze and light moving through while screening the entrance at eye level.

Open & Architectural

Open, ornamental spacing traces the entrance with a light touch that leaves lake views intact.

Automation

Automated Swing and Slide Gates in Kirkland

Both driveway gate types can be automated, finished to handle the lakeside air. We build and install the automation, then set it to open by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that reads your vehicle.

Swing Gates

Swing gates hinge open like a door, suited to a level lakeside driveway with room for the gate to arc open.

Slide Gates

Slide gates roll to the side along the fence line, the answer for a short or sloped Kirkland driveway near the water.

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 guests and deliveries reach a waterfront home easily.

Laser Cut Panels

Custom Laser Cut Panels for Kirkland Gates

We laser cut custom metal panels into gates, matched to your other metalwork, so a Kirkland entrance can carry a unique pattern or address. 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 Kirkland HOAs and New Construction

Kirkland’s condo rows and newer communities toward Kingsgate and Totem Lake often route gate changes through an association. We hand you the drawings and samples reviews ask for, styled within the guidelines.

Building new? We coordinate the gate, its automation, and any matching fence or railings with your builder so the whole property shares one finish and works on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not when it is specified for the exposure. The humid lakeside air is hard on ordinary metal, so we favor rust-free aluminum near the water, finish steel through a multi-step process, and protect the automation and hardware, so the gate keeps operating smoothly for years.

Yes. Both swing and slide gates can be automated, and we build and install the automation, finished to handle the lakeside conditions. It opens by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a vehicle sensor, and includes safety sensors that stop the gate if something is in the way.

It depends on the driveway. A swing gate suits a level drive with room to arc open; a slide gate rolls along the fence line, which is better for a short or sloped lakeside lot. We assess your entrance and recommend the one that will operate cleanly, then finish it for the humid air.

Yes, and it is our main advantage in Kirkland. Because we fabricate gates alongside fences, railings, glass, and cable in the same shop, we can carry one powder-coat color and one profile from your existing metalwork to the new gate, so the whole property reads as one piece instead of separate parts.
