The Future of Driveway Gates in Bellevue

n Bellevue, where architectural sophistication meets smart living, the modern driveway gate has become more than just a security feature, it’s a statement piece.

Today’s homeowners want automated gates that combine cutting-edge technology, minimalist design, and lasting durability. Whether guarding a hillside estate in Somerset or a lakefront home near Meydenbauer Bay, a well-designed driveway gate adds both functionality and refined curb appeal.

At Custom Railings WA, we specialize in designing and fabricating custom metal driveway gates: from fully automated sliding systems to sleek swing gates, built to perform flawlessly in the Pacific Northwest climate. Each gate is locally made in our Kent workshop and tailored to complement your property’s architecture and smart home systems.

Automation Meets Modern Design

The modern homeowner expects both convenience and elegance. Our automated driveway gates deliver both, offering seamless entry and robust protection without compromising aesthetics.

We design gates compatible with most smart home ecosystems, allowing you to open, close, or monitor your gate directly from your smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant.

• Wi-Fi & Bluetooth control
• Click2Enter systems for emergency access
• Keypad and RFID solutions for guests or delivery drivers
• Solar-powered automation options for sustainability
• Intercom and camera integration for enhanced security

Automation is not just about comfort, it’s about peace of mind, especially for Bellevue homeowners who travel frequently or manage multiple properties.
