How We Install Automated Gates & Openers

Every automated gate project begins with a detailed site evaluation to determine the best layout for access, security, and smooth operation. Our team prepares the foundation by setting posts and supports in reinforced concrete, ensuring long-term stability. Next, we install the gate frame, whether swing or sliding, built to handle daily use without sagging or shifting. Automated openers, keypad entry systems, and safety sensors are then integrated for seamless performance. The result is a reliable, custom gate system that enhances convenience, boosts security, and operates flawlessly year after year.

Why Property Owners Choose Automated Gates

Automated gates provide more than just a secure entry – they create a seamless blend of protection, convenience, and style. Horizon Fence & Custom Gates, Inc. designs gate systems that improve daily access, reduce security risks, and add a polished look to any property. With customizable options like sliding or swing gates, keypad and remote entry, or smart home integration, we deliver solutions that meet the unique needs of both homeowners and businesses while ensuring long-term reliability.

Stronger Security at Every Entrance

An automated gate creates the first line of defense for your home or business. By limiting access to authorized users, it helps prevent trespassing, theft, and unwanted traffic. With options like keypad entry, remote control, and integrated security features, you gain greater control over who enters your property while enjoying peace of mind every day.

Effortless Access Every Time

Automated gates eliminate the hassle of manually opening and closing entryways. With the touch of a remote, a keypad code, or smart device integration, you can enter and exit quickly without leaving your vehicle. For busy households and commercial properties, this level of convenience saves time, improves traffic flow, and makes daily access smooth and stress-free.

Enhancing Curb Appeal and Property Value

An automated gate does more than secure your property—it also makes a strong first impression. Custom designs, finishes, and materials allow your gate to complement the architecture and landscaping of your home or business. Beyond looks, a well-designed automated gate is considered a premium feature that can increase property value while setting your entrance apart with style and sophistication.

Customizable Designs and Smart Technology

Every property has different needs, which is why our automated gates are fully customizable. Choose from sliding or swing gate systems, decorative metal or wood finishes, and advanced access features like keypads, card readers, or smartphone integration. Horizon Fence & Custom Gates, Inc. installs gate openers that blend modern security with smart technology, giving you a system that looks great, functions flawlessly, and adapts to the way you live or work.

Low Maintenance, Built for Long-Term Use

Automated gates are engineered to handle daily operation with minimal upkeep. Heavy-duty motors, weather-resistant materials, and professional installation ensure smooth, reliable performance year after year. With routine inspections and basic care, your system will continue to provide dependable access control and protection without frequent repairs or costly downtime.

Sliding Gates

Ideal for properties with limited space, sliding gates move smoothly along a track to provide secure access without requiring swing clearance. Durable construction and reliable openers make them perfect for both residential driveways and busy commercial sites.

Often used in commercial or industrial settings, overhead gates lift vertically to maximize space and provide heavy-duty access control. Built to handle frequent use, they’re a practical solution for warehouses, loading docks, and secure facilities.

Automated Gate Installation Costs in Northern California

The cost of an automated gate system depends on several key factors, including the type of gate (sliding, swing, or overhead), the size of the entry, and the level of automation or access technology you choose. Features like decorative materials, remote entry systems, or smart integrations can increase the price but also add long-term value in security and convenience. While automated gates are a larger upfront investment than standard entryways, they provide lasting benefits in property protection, ease of use, and curb appeal. Horizon Fence & Custom Gates, Inc. provides clear, detailed estimates so you can select the right system for your budget and goals.
