Driveway Gates
Driveway gates change how a Fort Lauderdale property reads from the street more than any other single thing you can add to it, and choosing one is mostly a question of what the site will physically allow rather than which photograph you liked. Before anybody talks about scrollwork we measure four things: the clear opening width, the driveway depth from the sidewalk to where a car actually stops, the slope both across and along the drive, and what electrical power exists anywhere near the street.
Wrought Iron Gates
Wrought iron gates are the entrance most Fort Lauderdale homeowners picture first, and in this climate they are also the ones most often built badly, because heavy steel hides its sins for about three seasons before it starts confessing. We forge and weld custom wrought iron and ornamental iron driveway gates in our own Broward County shop from solid bar and heavy-wall tube, not the thin decorative stock that dents if a bumper looks at it sideways.
Garage & Parking Gates
Garage and parking gates are a different problem from a driveway gate, and on the condominium-heavy stretch of coast Fort Lauderdale occupies they are frequently the more pressing one. A parking structure is the softest point on most buildings: it is the one opening that has to admit vehicles, it is usually out of sight from the street, and it is shared by dozens or hundreds of people who all have a different view on how long to wait for it to close behind them.
Ornamental Steel Gates
Ornamental steel gates give you the look and strength of wrought iron at a lower price and a lower weight, which makes them the practical middle of the Fort Lauderdale market. Where traditional iron is solid bar, ornamental steel is tubular section: less mass on the hinges, less load on the operator, and a cheaper gate to automate and keep automated over twenty years.
Aluminum Gates
Aluminum gates are the correct answer for most waterfront and near-water property in Fort Lauderdale, and we say that as a shop that makes more margin selling steel. Aluminum does not rust.
Wood Gates
Wood gates look spectacular in Fort Lauderdale and fail quickly when they are built the way most people build them, which is a solid timber frame trying to carry its own weight across a driveway. South Florida is a genuinely hostile place to be a wooden gate: driving rain for half the year, humidity that never really drops, UV that chews a finish off in two summers, and termites that read an untreated bottom rail as an invitation.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are the right call on any Fort Lauderdale property that does not have driveway depth to spare, which describes a great many of them. A slide gate uses zero driveway length, so you can pull off the street and stop without needing a clear arc in front of the car, and it presents far less surface to a gust than a hinged leaf does, which matters on a barrier island or a canal-front lot with nothing upwind of it.
Swing Gates
Swing gates are the classic entrance and still the right choice on any Fort Lauderdale property with enough driveway to give them room. They cost less to install than a slide gate, there is no track to keep clear of sand and salt, and a matched pair of leaves opening ahead of you is simply a better arrival than anything else you can do to a driveway.
Cantilever Gates
Cantilever gates carry their own weight on post-mounted roller assemblies, so nothing touches the ground and there is no track to clog, flood or bend. In Fort Lauderdale that is not a technical curiosity, it is often the deciding factor, because a great many driveways here sit low enough to hold water after a downpour and some of them take salt water on a king tide.
Bi-Fold & Vertical Pivot Gates
Bi-fold and vertical pivot gates exist to solve the two problems that come up constantly on Fort Lauderdale lots: not enough room, and not enough patience. A bi-fold gate splits each leaf into two hinged panels that fold back on themselves, needing roughly half the swing arc of a conventional gate and clearing the opening in a few seconds rather than fifteen.
Automatic Gate Operators
Automatic gate operators decide whether your entrance is a pleasure or a daily irritation, and this is the component most often specified wrong. We install and service LiftMaster, DoorKing, FAAC, Ramset, Viking and Nice operators across Fort Lauderdale, and the first question on any job is not brand, it is class.
Access Control & Keypads
Gate access control is what turns a motor into a working entrance, and getting it right comes down to being honest about who actually needs to get in. On a Fort Lauderdale house that usually means the family on remotes or a phone app, a keypad code for the cleaner and the pool guy, a rotating code for deliveries, a code for the yacht service tech if you are on water, and an exit loop so nobody hunts for a remote to leave.
Telephone Entry Systems
Telephone entry systems are how a visitor gets through a gate they have no code for, and in Broward County they are standard equipment on every gated community, condominium and HOA of any size. A caller scrolls a directory or dials a code, the unit rings the resident on their phone, and the resident presses a digit to open the gate.
Safety Sensors & UL 325 Compliance
Gate safety sensors are the difference between an automatic gate and a two-thousand-pound hazard on a timer, and UL 325 compliance is not a marketing phrase, it is the standard your operator was built and listed to. Every automated gate needs a primary means of entrapment protection built into the operator, usually inherent force sensing that reverses the gate when it meets resistance, plus a secondary independent means, typically photo eyes or a contact safety edge.
Gate Motors & Solar Power
Solar gate motors solve two Fort Lauderdale problems at once: plenty of properties have no power at the gate, and when a hurricane takes the grid down the entrance still has to work. A solar package is a DC operator, a battery bank and a panel sized to the site, running entirely independent of the house.
Custom & Estate Gates
Custom and estate gates are one-off builds, drawn for your opening and welded to your dimensions rather than adapted from a catalogue panel, and in a city with the waterfront property Fort Lauderdale has, this is the work our shop enjoys most. Arched and radius crowns, hand-forged scrollwork, cast finials and spear tops, laser-cut steel panels, monograms and house numbers integrated into the design, mixed material gates pairing ornamental steel with ipe or composite infill, and matched pedestrian gates so the whole frontage reads as one piece.
Security Fencing & Perimeter
Security fencing is the other ninety percent of a perimeter, and a serious gate hung in a weak fence line is theatre. We design and install perimeter systems for Fort Lauderdale marinas, boatyards, distribution yards, self-storage, gated communities, condominium properties and homes where the gate is only worth having if the rest of the line holds up.
Commercial & Industrial Gates
Commercial and industrial gates in Fort Lauderdale are a different trade from residential work, and the difference is cycle count and salt. A house gate opens maybe a dozen times a day.
Welding & Gate Fabrication
Welding and gate fabrication is the shop behind everything else on this site, and it is the reason we can say yes to work other gate companies have to order in and wait for. We run our own metal shop in Broward County with MIG and TIG capability, plasma cutting, a press brake and the jigs to build a gate that comes out genuinely square rather than close enough.
Emergency Gate Service
Emergency gate service is the call you make when the gate is stuck open and the property is wide open, or stuck closed with a car in the street behind it. We run emergency response across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, and the first thing we do on the phone is walk you through securing the situation: where the manual release is on your particular operator, how to disengage it so the gate can be moved by hand, and how to physically secure the leaf so it is not swinging loose in the wind while you wait for us.

Driveway Gates
Driveway gates change how a Fort Lauderdale property reads from the street more than any other single thing you can add to it, and choosing one is mostly a question of what the site will physically allow rather than which photograph you liked. Before anybody talks about scrollwork we measure four things: the clear opening width, the driveway depth from the sidewalk to where a car actually stops, the slope both across and along the drive, and what electrical power exists anywhere near the street. Those four numbers eliminate most of the catalogue before you have spent a dollar, and it is far cheaper to discover that on paper than after fabrication.

Wrought Iron Gates
Wrought iron gates are the entrance most Fort Lauderdale homeowners picture first, and in this climate they are also the ones most often built badly, because heavy steel hides its sins for about three seasons before it starts confessing. We forge and weld custom wrought iron and ornamental iron driveway gates in our own Broward County shop from solid bar and heavy-wall tube, not the thin decorative stock that dents if a bumper looks at it sideways. Iron here lives or dies on the finish system, and this is the part nobody selling you a gate wants to talk about.

Garage & Parking Gates

We install and service the full range of hardware that addresses that, from roll-up security grilles on a single residential garage through to full parking-structure entrances with credentialed access, licence plate recognition and barrier arms.

Ornamental Steel Gates
Ornamental steel gates give you the look and strength of wrought iron at a lower price and a lower weight, which makes them the practical middle of the Fort Lauderdale market. Where traditional iron is solid bar, ornamental steel is tubular section: less mass on the hinges, less load on the operator, and a cheaper gate to automate and keep automated over twenty years. The trade is that wall thickness is everything, because a hollow section is only as good as its wall and there is nothing inside to protect.

Aluminum Gates
Aluminum gates are the correct answer for most waterfront and near-water property in Fort Lauderdale, and we say that as a shop that makes more margin selling steel. Aluminum does not rust. In a city with miles of Atlantic beachfront and a canal system long enough to have earned the Venice comparison, that single property outweighs almost every argument for anything else.

Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are the right call on any Fort Lauderdale property that does not have driveway depth to spare, which describes a great many of them. A slide gate uses zero driveway length, so you can pull off the street and stop without needing a clear arc in front of the car, and it presents far less surface to a gust than a hinged leaf does, which matters on a barrier island or a canal-front lot with nothing upwind of it. On a narrow waterfront lot where the house is close to the street and the seawall setback eats the rest, sliding is frequently not a preference but the only configuration that physically works.

Swing Gates
Swing gates are the classic entrance and still the right choice on any Fort Lauderdale property with enough driveway to give them room. They cost less to install than a slide gate, there is no track to keep clear of sand and salt, and a matched pair of leaves opening ahead of you is simply a better arrival than anything else you can do to a driveway.

In Fort Lauderdale that is not a technical curiosity, it is often the deciding factor, because a great many driveways here sit low enough to hold water after a downpour and some of them take salt water on a king tide.

Bi-Fold & Vertical Pivot Gates
Bi-fold and vertical pivot gates exist to solve the two problems that come up constantly on Fort Lauderdale lots: not enough room, and not enough patience. A bi-fold gate splits each leaf into two hinged panels that fold back on themselves, needing roughly half the swing arc of a conventional gate and clearing the opening in a few seconds rather than fifteen. A vertical pivot gate lifts the whole leaf up and over on a pivot, using no ground space at all and caring nothing about slope, standing water or a driveway that pitches the wrong way toward a seawall.

Automatic Gate Operators
Automatic gate operators decide whether your entrance is a pleasure or a daily irritation, and this is the component most often specified wrong. We install and service LiftMaster, DoorKing, FAAC, Ramset, Viking and Nice operators across Fort Lauderdale, and the first question on any job is not brand, it is class. UL 325 sorts operators into Class I through Class IV by the property they serve: Class I is a single-family residence, Class II is multi-family or commercial with general public access, Class III is commercial or industrial where the public is not expected, and Class IV is restricted-access industrial with supervision.

Access Control & Keypads
Gate access control is what turns a motor into a working entrance, and getting it right comes down to being honest about who actually needs to get in. On a Fort Lauderdale house that usually means the family on remotes or a phone app, a keypad code for the cleaner and the pool guy, a rotating code for deliveries, a code for the yacht service tech if you are on water, and an exit loop so nobody hunts for a remote to leave. On a condominium or gated community it means fobs or cards per resident, telephone entry for visitors, an audit trail, and the ability to kill one credential the day somebody moves out without re-coding the entire property.

A caller scrolls a directory or dials a code, the unit rings the resident on their phone, and the resident presses a digit to open the gate.

Safety Sensors & UL 325 Compliance
Gate safety sensors are the difference between an automatic gate and a two-thousand-pound hazard on a timer, and UL 325 compliance is not a marketing phrase, it is the standard your operator was built and listed to. Every automated gate needs a primary means of entrapment protection built into the operator, usually inherent force sensing that reverses the gate when it meets resistance, plus a secondary independent means, typically photo eyes or a contact safety edge. On slide gates the standard wants protection covering both directions of travel, because the shear point where the leaf passes the post is where serious injuries happen.

Gate Motors & Solar Power
Solar gate motors solve two Fort Lauderdale problems at once: plenty of properties have no power at the gate, and when a hurricane takes the grid down the entrance still has to work. A solar package is a DC operator, a battery bank and a panel sized to the site, running entirely independent of the house. On a property where trenching mains power from the panel out to the street means cutting a finished paver driveway and pulling a permit, the solar option is frequently cheaper as well as faster.

Custom & Estate Gates
Custom and estate gates are one-off builds, drawn for your opening and welded to your dimensions rather than adapted from a catalogue panel, and in a city with the waterfront property Fort Lauderdale has, this is the work our shop enjoys most.

If you have seen a gate you like anywhere from Las Olas Isles to Coral Ridge, photograph it and we will build in that language rather than copy it.

Security Fencing & Perimeter
Security fencing is the other ninety percent of a perimeter, and a serious gate hung in a weak fence line is theatre. We design and install perimeter systems for Fort Lauderdale marinas, boatyards, distribution yards, self-storage, gated communities, condominium properties and homes where the gate is only worth having if the rest of the line holds up. That means the whole picture: fence height and infill matched to the actual risk, gates and pedestrian openings designed in rather than cut in later, and corners, gate posts and terminal posts engineered properly because those are the points that get pushed on.

Commercial & Industrial Gates
Commercial and industrial gates in Fort Lauderdale are a different trade from residential work, and the difference is cycle count and salt. A house gate opens maybe a dozen times a day. A gated community entrance off Federal Highway opens several hundred, and a marina gate does it with salt spray on every cycle and a service truck cutting the corner.

What Fort Lauderdale property owners ask us
Which gate services does Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling gate work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Fort Lauderdale Customers Say
We are on a canal and our last gate rusted through in four years. These guys galvanized the steel before coating it and used stainless hardware throughout. Three summers in and there is not a mark on it.
Short driveway, sidewalk right at the property line, and two other companies told us a gate was impossible. They measured the back-run and put in a slide gate that clears perfectly. Clean work.
They drew up elevations for our HOA architectural committee before fabricating anything, which saved us a rejection. Gate went in on schedule and the columns match the house exactly.
Our operator died in the middle of storm season. They came out the same afternoon, found a fried control board rather than selling us a new motor, and added a battery backup we should have had all along.
Wide opening for the horse trailer and no power anywhere near the road. They sized a solar and battery package properly and showed us the math. It has never once run out of charge.
Our board asked for a written safety report on both entrances. They found photo eyes that had never been aligned and force limits turned all the way up by a previous company. Fixed both and documented it.
