Walk and side gates
Plan an opening for everyday pedestrian access, with suitable hinges and latching.
Bay Area Fence & Gate Services
Custom Gates
A gate should fit the opening and the way people use it. Pro Fence builds and installs walk gates, driveway gates, and framed wood or metal gates for Bay Area homes and businesses.
Where this service fits
Driveway entries
Discuss vehicle clearance, swing or slide movement, and space around the opening.
Commercial access gates
Coordinate gates with the surrounding fence, traffic pattern, and access needs.
Choices to discuss
Discuss wood or metal appearance, frame construction, hinges, latch or lock needs, and how the gate will move. A manually operated gate and an automatic gate have different planning requirements; operator work is described separately.
What affects the estimate
Opening width, gate weight, frame and finish, posts or supports, slope, hardware, and any automatic operator equipment affect the scope.

An operator adds power, detection, and access-control requirements to the gate itself. Include that scope at the start of the estimate.
Explore Gate Operators & Access ControlQuestions before your estimate
Yes. State whether the gate should be manual or automatic, or ask for advice if you have not decided.
That requires review of the gate condition, framing, movement, available space, and electrical and safety needs. Start with photos and a description of the opening.
Describe the people, vehicles, or equipment that need access and any space restrictions. Final dimensions depend on the site and proposed layout.
