Deterrence-first gates with automation that holds up: operators sized to your traffic, safety loops, backup power, and same-day repair. Over 3,000 gate installs in ten years.
An automatic gate is the one part of a perimeter with a motor on it — the only piece that has to perform on demand, every day, in the weather, under load, and still stop someone who wants in. Almost every failure we are called to is an automation failure: an operator sized for a hundred cycles a week running a thousand, a loop that stopped detecting, a leaf built too heavy for the machine driving it.
So we specify the automation first and build the gate to suit it. We fabricate in our own shop in Santa Clarita and install across Southern California, from single estate drives to industrial yards running trucks all day — every gate drawn for its site, its traffic, and how vehicles actually queue at the entrance. You approve the drawing before steel gets cut.
A gate on its own is one layer. Paired with access control, surveillance and the network behind them, it becomes a system that logs who came in and holds up when the power drops — which is the Complete Security Gate System.
Automation is where gates fail, so it's where we spend the most time. Operators are sized to your real cycle count — a warehouse running eight hundred cycles a week needs a different machine from an estate drive running twenty. Loop detection stops the gate closing on a vehicle, battery backup keeps it cycling through an outage, and a manual release means it can always be opened by hand.
We automate gates we built and gates we didn't, tie the operator into access control so entry is credentialed and logged, and service what we install — same-day when a gate is stuck.
Duty-cycle rated for the real count, not the brochure number.
Reversing sensors and dwell timing so it never closes on a vehicle.
Keeps cycling in an outage; opens by hand when everything is off.
Open from a phone, hand out codes, and see who came in.
We'll automate an existing gate once we've checked it takes the load.
Stuck, drifting, or won't open — we dispatch across Southern California.
CALL 661-605-3266 →Every type below is built to be automated. Which one fits comes down to span, room to move, and what you are stopping — a person on foot or a vehicle at speed.
Roll along the fence line rather than swinging out. The workhorse for drives with room to run back.
Estate entrances with a level approach and room to open. The most design freedom of any type.
Tight sites with nothing to swing into and nowhere to slide. Fast cycle, small footprint.
Where the threat is a vehicle, not a person. Engineered foundation, rated to stop mass at speed.
Anti-climb, self-closing, and credentialed — the entrance people actually use daily.
Send a drawing, a photo, or a sketch on a napkin. If it can be welded, we can build it.
START A CUSTOM GATE →Grade, span, power, drainage, and how vehicles really approach the entrance.
You approve the design, finish and hardware before any steel is cut.
Welded and finished in our shop — galvanized or powder-coated, not drop-shipped.
Set, automated, tested — then maintained, with same-day repair when you need it.
We won't publish a number that doesn't survive a site visit. These are the five things that move a gate quote, in the order they usually matter.
Fabricated in Santa Clarita, installed across Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties.
Most gates are fabricated and installed within four to six weeks of drawing approval. Repairs and automation retrofits are usually scheduled the same week, and emergency repair is same-day.
We automate gates we did not build once the existing gate is surveyed and the frame and hinges are confirmed to take the load, then fit an operator, loops and safety devices sized to your traffic.
Every install includes battery backup on the operator and a manual release, so the gate keeps cycling through an outage and can always be opened by hand.
Often yes, and HOA approval as well. We handle the drawings and submittals, including fire-department access requirements for gated drives.
The free estimate prices the work you already want. The paid assessment is a Red Team walk of your perimeter, with a written report.
