Our work covers custom wrought iron and ornamental steel gates, powder-coated aluminum gates, cedar and redwood wood gates on welded steel frames, vinyl and composite gates, single and dual swing gates, roller and cantilever sliding gates, bi-fold and vertical-pivot gates for tight lots, estate entrances, security fencing, parking barrier arms, and full in-house welding and fabrication.
On the electronics side we install and repair automatic gate operators from LiftMaster, DoorKing, FAAC, and Ramset, plus telephone entry systems, keypads, card readers, video intercoms, loop detectors, photo-eye sensors, solar power kits, and Knox box fire-department access.
Every operator we hang is set up to UL 325 safety compliance with the correct Class I through Class IV operator classification for the property, entrapment protection wired and tested, and force limits dialed in rather than cranked to maximum.
Our steel is hot-dip galvanized or primed and powder coated before it ever leaves the shop, we build in 14-gauge and 16-gauge tube depending on span and operator load, and we set posts deep in concrete so nothing sags in year three.
Anaheim Gate Pros is licensed, insured, and bonded, a member of the International Door Association, and every gate, operator, and access system carries a written workmanship warranty.

About Anaheim Gate Pros in Anaheim, CA
Anaheim Gate Pros has spent over 15 years designing, building, automating, and rescuing driveway gates across Anaheim and Orange County. We started as a small family metal shop taking on whatever welding work came through the door and grew the way a gate should be built: slowly, square, and on a solid foundation.
Today we handle custom wrought iron entrance gates, ornamental steel and aluminum gates, cantilever slide gates, parking barrier arms, and access control for gated communities, and we still run every job with our own in-house crews instead of handing your property to a subcontractor you have never met.
What actually sets us apart is what happens after the truck leaves. We fabricate to your opening and your slope, hot-dip galvanize or powder coat the steel before it ships, set posts deep in concrete so the gate never drifts, and wire every operator to UL 325 safety compliance with photo eyes, loop detectors, and tested entrapment protection.
We build in 14-gauge tube where the span demands it rather than defaulting to the thinnest material that passes a glance. As a licensed, insured, and bonded contractor and a member of the International Door Association, we back every gate, operator, and access system with a written workmanship warranty.
From wrought iron and ornamental steel to aluminum, wood, vinyl, sliding, swing, cantilever, and bi-fold gates, plus operators, keypads, telephone entry, safety sensors, solar power, security fencing, and emergency service, Anaheim Gate Pros is one phone call for an entrance that looks sharp and works every single time you pull up to it.

Our Gate Services in Anaheim, CA
Wrought Iron Gates
Wrought iron is the heaviest thing you can hang across an Anaheim driveway. On lots where the garage sits under twenty feet from the curb, that weight decides the design long before anyone picks a scroll pattern.
Ornamental Steel Gates
Ornamental steel gives you most of the presence of wrought iron for less money, and on a short Anaheim driveway the leaf is short enough that you genuinely do not need the heavier spec. That is a saving worth taking.
Garage Gate Installation
A garage door is the widest lightly secured opening on an Anaheim tract house, and it is the one we get called about after a break-in on the street. A roll-up grille set inside the opening is what actually closes it.
Aluminum Gates
Aluminum is the practical answer on a lot of Anaheim driveways, and the reason is weight. A lighter leaf lets a smaller operator move it faster, and cycle speed matters when the driver is sitting in a travel lane waiting for it.
Wood Gates
Wood is the finish most people want and the material that moves the most. On a narrow Anaheim lot, where the gate swings within a few feet of the neighbor's driveway, half an inch of movement is the difference between a gate and a scrape.
Vinyl & Composite Gates
Vinyl and composite gates are the low-maintenance option, and they are also the most oversold. The short version is that a vinyl fence panel is not a driveway gate, and the difference between them is a steel frame you cannot see.
Sliding Gates
A sliding gate is our default recommendation on most Anaheim driveways, for one reason: it never travels into the space where your car has to be. The leaf moves along the fence line, not across the setback.
Swing Gates
We install swing gates, and on a great many Anaheim driveways we will talk you out of one. It is not a preference.
Cantilever Gates
Cantilever gates are excellent hardware and the wrong answer on most Anaheim driveways. The reason is arithmetic, and it is worth understanding before you shop, because plenty of quotes include one that will never fit the property.
Bi-Fold & Vertical Pivot Gates
Bi-fold and vertical pivot gates exist for openings that have no room, which describes a large share of Anaheim. If your driveway is short and your fence line is already spoken for, these are the two designs that still work on the property.
Automatic Gate Operators
The operator is the part you interact with every day, and on a short Anaheim driveway the specification that matters most is not horsepower. It is how many seconds you spend stopped in the street waiting.
Access Control & Keypads
Keypad placement is a traffic question in Anaheim before it is a security question. If a driver has to open a door and step out to reach the keypad, they are doing it with the back of the car sitting in a live lane.
Telephone Entry Systems
Telephone entry earns its price on a building with a directory. On a single Anaheim house, where the gate is a short walk from the front door, we will usually tell you that a good keypad and a video doorbell do the same job for less money.
Safety Sensors & UL 325 Compliance
Every UL 325 requirement is written for a person, and on an Anaheim street that person is usually on a sidewalk running a few feet from your moving gate. That proximity is what makes the standard matter here rather than read as a formality.
Gate Motors & Solar Power
On most Anaheim properties the gate is thirty or forty feet from a panel that already serves the garage. That is the whole solar conversation, and it usually ends with us recommending that you do not buy one.
Custom & Estate Gates
Estate gates are a question of scale, and scale is the thing that goes wrong on an Orange County lot. A twelve-foot gate on a sixty-foot frontage does not read as grand.
Security Fencing & Perimeter
On most Anaheim lots the perimeter already exists. Block walls run between the neighbors and across the back, and the only stretch you actually control is the frontage.
Commercial & Industrial Gates
Commercial gates in Anaheim usually fail on stacking room rather than on hardware. The lot line sits tight against a busy arterial, and a truck that has to stop for a slow gate stops in a travel lane instead.
Welding & Gate Fabrication
We run our own metal shop, which on Anaheim jobs matters for a plain reason. Almost nothing here is a standard size, and almost nothing can be carried in through the property finished.
Emergency Gate Service
A gate that stops working on an Anaheim driveway does not just inconvenience you. It leaves a car shut in the garage, a car parked out in the street, or a leaf standing open across the public sidewalk.

How It Works
- 1. Design & quote. We come out, measure the opening, shoot the slope, check what power you actually have at the gate, and design around all three. You get an itemized quote, not a number scribbled on a business card.
- 2. Fabrication & prep. We cut and weld the gate in our own shop, prep and powder coat it, then set posts in concrete and trench the conduit for the operator, loops, and access control.
- 3. Install & automate. We hang the gate, mount and align the operator, wire the keypad, exit loop, and photo eyes, then program remotes and set the travel and force limits to UL 325.
- 4. Test & hand off. We cycle the gate dozens of times, test entrapment protection with an obstruction, walk you through the keypad and battery backup, and leave the manuals instead of taking them with us.
What Anaheim Customers Say
They built us a dual swing iron gate and wired the keypad to our phones. The crew set the posts deep so it swings clean every time. No sag, no drift, exactly what we wanted.
Got three bids for an automatic gate on our hillside drive. These guys were the only ones who checked the slope and the power before quoting. The solar opener has been flawless.
Our old operator died and the gate was stuck open all weekend. They diagnosed a bad board, replaced it on the same visit, and reprogrammed every remote. Honest and quick.
Installed a matching iron fence and entry gate for our place. The welds are clean and the powder coat still looks new after a long, hot summer. Highly recommend.
Our HOA had two cantilever gates cycling badly and a call box that could not complete a call anymore. They converted it to cellular, replaced the rollers, and gave us a written safety report.
The horizontal slat gate they built on a steel frame looks better than the renderings. They also caught that our photo eyes had never been wired correctly by the previous company.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a driveway gate cost in Anaheim?
Most automated driveway gates in the Anaheim area run from the mid-$4,000s into the $12,000s depending on width, material, single or dual swing versus a slide gate, and the access controls you add. Ornamental steel and aluminum sit at the lower end, custom wrought iron estate gates at the upper end. We give you a firm, itemized quote after a free on-site measure.
How long does a gate installation take?
A typical residential gate and operator goes in over one to three days once the gate is fabricated, and fabrication usually runs two to four weeks. Custom wrought iron and heavy commercial cantilever gates take longer to build. We give you a schedule up front and tell you if it slips.
What is UL 325 and does my gate have to meet it?
UL 325 is the safety standard for powered gate operators. It requires two independent means of entrapment protection on most installs, correct Class I through Class IV classification for the property type, and warning signage. Any operator we install is set up to it, and if we service an older gate that was never brought up to code we tell you exactly what is missing.
Do you install commercial and gated-community gates?
Yes. Alongside residential driveway gates we install and maintain commercial and industrial gates, cantilever slide gates, parking barrier arms, telephone entry, and card-reader access control for gated communities, HOAs, apartment complexes, and yards across Orange County.
Do you repair gates and operators you did not install?
We do, and it is a big part of our week. We diagnose dead control boards, blown fuses, failed limit switches, misaligned photo eyes, and broken loop detectors on any brand, replace rollers and hinges, and get stuck gates cycling again regardless of who built them.
Can a gate run on solar in Orange County?
Often, yes. Orange County gets enough sun that a properly sized solar panel and battery bank will run a residential swing or slide operator through normal daily cycles, which saves trenching power a hundred feet down a driveway. We size the panel to your actual cycle count rather than guessing, and we will tell you honestly if your gate is too heavy or too busy for solar.
