Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros provides professional ornamental steel gates in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. 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. We build frames in 14-gauge tube where the span or the operator load demands it and 16-gauge where it genuinely does not, and we write which one is in your gate on the quote rather than letting you guess. Most of the imported gates that turn up on a pallet in this county are thinner than either, which is exactly why they arrive dead straight and go wavy by their second summer. Because these are hollow sections in a marine environment, the coating system matters even more than it does with solid iron. Water that finds its way inside a tube through an unsealed joint has nowhere to go, and it will rot the gate from the inside while the outside still looks new. We seal ends, drill and seal weep points at the low corners, and specify hot-dip galvanizing under the powder coat on anything with real salt exposure. Styles run from flat-top picket to arched crown to the modern horizontal slat panels that dominate new Fort Lauderdale construction. Slat gates look effortless and are unforgiving to build, because any twist in the frame shows up as a wandering shadow line down the entire leaf, so we weld them on a jig, stitch the slats rather than tacking the ends, and brace behind the panel where you cannot see it. Privacy backing, perforated screens and mixed slat-and-picket designs get fabricated to your opening. We also do steady work matching a new gate into an existing fence run. Bring us the picket spacing and the top rail profile and we will build something that reads as original rather than as an obvious replacement, then hang it on posts sized for the leaf weight rather than on whatever post happened to be in the ground. Repairs are welcome: bowed bottom rails, cracked hinge stiles, sagging leaves and the specific damage a gate takes when somebody reverses into it get straightened, re-welded and re-coated properly in the shop.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Lauderdale and nearby communities including Pompano Beach, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

Materials, equipment and how we do ornamental steel gates
The difference between ornamental steel gates that lasts and ornamental steel gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Lauderdale job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
