Custom Gates
Built to your opening, not a size chart.
Every custom gate starts as raw aluminum in our Morristown shop and leaves as one welded piece, cut to the entrance it was measured for. No re-badged import, no bolted corners that work loose in year three.
What we build
Single and dual swing gates, sliding gates, and pedestrian gates — any width or height your opening calls for, arched or flat top, single or double picket. Every gate is designed automation-ready whether or not you add power on day one, so retrofitting an operator later doesn't mean rebuilding the gate.
Materials and construction
Gates begin as raw aluminum stock from American mills. We cut to your opening, then weld rail to picket and post to frame into a single structure. Bolted gates loosen over years of swinging; a welded gate doesn't have joints to work loose.
The finished frame carries an AAMA 2604 architectural-grade polyester powder coat — the class specified on commercial storefronts and curtain wall, not a dip finish — available in black, bronze, or white.
- Aluminum — American mill stock, never pre-formed imports
- Welded construction — one piece, not bolted brackets
- AAMA 2604 powder coat — black, bronze, or white
- Automation-ready — designed for an operator from the start
- Lifetime warranty — structural defects in materials and welding
How a custom gate happens
1 · Consultation
We talk through the opening, the style you're after, how it will be used, and the budget it needs to land in.
2 · Design
You get exact dimensions and a style direction before anything is cut. Nothing goes to the shop floor unapproved.
3 · Approval
Sign off on the drawing. This is where changes are free — not after the gate is welded.
4 · Fabrication
Cut, welded, and powder coated in Morristown. One to three weeks, or 72 hours on a rush.
5 · Installation
Set by our own crew — posts, footings, alignment, and automation wiring if it's part of the job.
6 · Service
We service what we build. If the gate stops swinging right, you call the shop that made it.
Timeline and pricing
Most custom gates are built in one to three weeks. When that won't work, rush fabrication turns a gate around in as little as 72 hours for an added fee — worth knowing before you assume a custom gate means waiting months.
Custom gates start around $2,000. Most fully custom estate entrances run $10,000 to $20,000 and up, depending on size, material, and automation. Installation is quoted separately, because a gate on flat ground and a gate on a sloped drive with a buried power run are not the same job.
Built to be inherited
A welded aluminum gate, properly hung, tends to outlast the reason it was ordered. Every gate we build carries a lifetime warranty against structural defects in materials and welding — not a five-year promise with an asterisk. We can offer that because one shop is accountable from raw aluminum to the footing it's set in.
Common questions
How long does a custom gate take?
One to three weeks for most custom gates. If you need it sooner, rush fabrication is available for an added fee, with turnaround as fast as 72 hours.
What does a custom gate cost?
Custom gates start around $2,000. Most fully custom estate entrances run $10,000–$20,000+ depending on size, material, and automation. Installation is quoted separately.
What's covered under the warranty?
Every gate carries a lifetime warranty against structural defects in materials and welding.
Can you match my existing fence or gate?
Yes. Bring photos or specs to your consultation and we'll match style, picket spacing, and finish.
Do you install, or only build?
We install every gate we build, within about a four-hour drive of Morristown. We don't install gates we didn't build — we can't stand behind construction we didn't do, and the lifetime warranty depends on one shop being accountable end to end.
Can you work from my architect's or HOA's drawings?
Yes. We build to spec drawings and can supply what your HOA or architect needs to approve the design.
What maintenance does an aluminum gate need?
Far less than steel or wood — there's no rust to manage. If it's automated, the operator needs periodic attention; see maintenance plans.
