Whatever fencing system you might already have installed on your property, or if you’re looking to install a full fence system with a gate as the finishing touch, we’re the team for you.

Ornamental Aluminum and Steel Gates

Often times, aluminum or steel gates are the perfect entry point for a commercial or residential property, providing a classic gateway to ensure that there’s limited access to your property. Whether the rest of your property is surrounded by aluminum or steel fencing or not, these gates are often the most effective and professional-looking gates for business and homes, helping to complement your property’s aesthetic while providing an effective means of keeping trespassers out. Any gate that restricts entry to your property adds to the property’s value, and the added measure of security will not be established in vain. Aluminum and steel gates are extremely difficult to climb, break, or tamper with, making them perfect for a home or business that you want to protect. These gates also have the added benefit of being extremely durable, ensuring that when you invest in one gate, you won’t need to replace or repair it every other year. With galvanized steel or aluminum, you can be sure that your gate will outlast weathering and wear.

Fence Gates: Chain Link Roller Gate and Swing Gate Systems

Chain link fences are popular commercial fencing systems, and they are often used on residential properties as well for establishing property boundaries and setting up designated areas for animals and children. If you opt for a fully-enclosed fencing system, you’ll need to finish it off with a chain link fence gate, and we’re here to help you make sure that you get the best chain link gate for your needs. With a chain link fence, you’ll typically see roller gates or swing gates depending on the size and style of your chain link fence. For larger fences or commercial properties looking for a more extensive measure of security, larger rolling chain link gates are usually preferable, as they’re difficult to climb and can cover much more space than a simple swing gate. Similarly, if you’re attaching a chain link gate to another form of fence, of it the opening to which you’re looking to attach your gate is large, you’ll likely need a roller chain link gate to fill the space. With smaller fences, such as around playgrounds and schools, back yards and small side entrances, a swing gate may be more of what you’re looking for.

 

Wood and PVC Gates Installation

As wood and PVC fence installers, we also install wood and PVC gates to complement your fence’s design. Because wooden and vinyl fences can be very diverse in their style, size, and designs, it’s important that, if you want a gate for your fence, you try to have it installed by whomever is installing your fencing system. However, we’re happy to help you find a gate style and design, made from materials to meet your needs, that will complement and blend in with any fencing system you already have installed at your home or business. We want to make gate installation a quick and painless process, and we’re committed to helping you get whatever PVC or wood swing gate you want to create an access point to your property.

Automated Gate Operators

More property owners are asking us for automation on driveway and commercial gates instead of a plain swing or roller gate you have to open by hand. We install electric operators on both new gate installs and on existing gates being retrofitted, along with keypads and card access for businesses that need to control who gets onto the property.

For a home, automation usually comes down to convenience. Pulling into the driveway and having the gate open on its own beats getting out of the car in a Minnesota winter to swing it open by hand. For a business, it’s more often about access control. A warehouse or storage yard with an automated gate and keypad means you’re not handing out keys or relying on someone being there to let a delivery through.

We install operators sized to the gate itself. A heavy commercial slide gate needs a different motor and a different mounting setup than a lighter residential swing gate, and we’ll spec the right one during your estimate rather than forcing a one-size setup onto every gate.

For more options, see chain link fencing, ornamental aluminum and steel fencing, and automated gates for industrial and commercial sites.

FAQs

Q: Can you add an automated opener to a gate I already have?

A: In most cases yes, as long as the gate itself is in good structural shape. We’ll look at the gate, the post it’s hung on, and the swing or slide clearance before recommending an operator.

Q: What’s the difference between a swing gate and a roller gate?

A: A swing gate opens on hinges like a door, which works well for smaller openings. A roller gate slides along a track, which is usually the better choice for wider openings like a commercial driveway or loading area.

Q: Do automated gates work in Minnesota winters?

A: Yes, as long as the operator and gate are set up correctly for our climate. That means the right gap clearance for snow and ice buildup and an operator rated to start in cold weather.

Q: Can I get keypad or card access on a commercial gate?

A: Yes. We install keypad entry and card access systems on commercial gates, which is common for businesses that need to control who can get onto the property without staffing an entrance.

Q: Will my gate match my existing fence?

A: We build gates to match whatever fence material you already have or are installing, whether that’s chain link, ornamental steel or aluminum, wood, or vinyl.
