Turnaround Time: 4 weeks
Our most recent major undertaking was a 14-unit residential community in Yorba Linda. The HOA had been dealing with unauthorized vehicle access and wanted to close the development off. We designed and fabricated dual swing entry gates at the main vehicle entrance and a pedestrian access point around the perimeter. A commercial operator was installed at the main entry along with a keypad, intercom system, and vehicle loop detector. We handled all permit filings with the City of Yorba Linda Building and Safety Division

The client wanted to close off the side passage of their home along the sidewalk-facing boundary. The opening had no gate and left the side yard fully exposed. We fabricated a single-swing steel pedestrian gate with a self-closing hinge mechanism. The gate was sized to fit between the existing wall and the property fence line. No structural modifications were needed.

Turnaround Time: 2 weeks
The client wanted a new, fully automated driveway gate for their single-family home in Yorba Linda. The driveway was wide enough for a dual-swing configuration, which the client preferred for the look. They requested that we match the original vertical slat pattern but with a more modern aesthetic. We took detailed measurements of the existing fence before fabrication began to make sure everything lined up exactly.
Gate Installation and Fabrication Services
Custom Metal Gates
We build your heavy-duty entrance from scratch in a local shop using premium wrought iron, structural steel, or aircraft-grade aluminum.
MIG welding and plasma cutting are used to match the exact dimensions of your Yorba Linda property, with sealed ball-bearing hinges and, when needed, a precise 20-foot cantilever span.
The final product is finished with an architectural-grade powder coating to resist rust, creating a gate so well-balanced it can swing open with a single finger.
Automatic Electric Gates
A properly matched motor can make sure your gate opens quietly without the audible straining or random reversals caused by undersized equipment.
Before specifying a motor, we calculate the gate’s exact weight and daily cycle count to ensure compliance with UL 325 safety standards.
We then install premium AC- or DC-powered LiftMaster, FAAC, Viking Access, or DoorKing DKS operators, complete with monitored photo eyes and wireless edge sensors for reliable operation.
Industrial and Commercial Gates
For industrial and commercial gate services our installation teams use heavy-gauge steel panels paired with FAAC hydraulic operators or Viking Access brushless DC motors that stay cool under constant use.
We make sure the property gets a high-performance gate system.
Every project includes V-track systems and heavy-duty rollers, scheduled around your operating hours so your facility stays secure without stopping production.
Security Gate Systems and Access Control
A modern access control system eliminates security gaps like lost remotes or untracked entries.
We install RFID long-range readers, proximity card scanners, and DoorKing DKS telephone entry platforms with Wiegand-compatible keypads.
Every system can be integrated with smartphone app controllers and cloud-based management, while a licensed electrician handles all low-voltage wiring to ensure a stable connection.
Manual to Electric Gate Conversion
If an existing manual gate matches your home’s architecture, our automation technicians can upgrade it into a hands-free electric system.
Our crew assesses your steel or masonry posts before mounting linear arm actuators or articulated swing operators from brands like LiftMaster or FAAC.
The finished system includes a 12V or 24V battery backup and remote receivers, giving you modern convenience at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Old Gate System Modernization
Older gate systems often lack the smartphone integration and entrapment protection required by today’s codes.
Our upgrade specialists replace aging control boards and safety loops with current-generation Viking Access or DoorKing DKS components that feature myQ technology and monitored safety sensors.
Through this, your gate keeps its classic look from the street, but the internal solid-state electronics provide better security and smoother movement.
Gate Repair and Maintenance Services
Gate Opener Repair and Installation
Yorba Linda Custom Metal and Electric Gates guarantees a permanent, reliable fix that saves you from repeat breakdowns and wasted money.
Our repair specialists perform a full diagnostic on the receiver logic board, transformer, and safety loops to determine the root cause, instead of just patching the surface problem.
Most repairs in Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills are solved on the first visit because all our technicians carry common replacement chain kits, sprockets, and fuses right in their trucks.
Gate Motor Installation and Replacement
Instead of a motor that struggles against a heavy gate, you get a smooth, long-lasting gate system that operates effortlessly and avoids sudden, expensive breakdowns
Our replacement technicians match your new motor to the specific pounds-per-foot requirements of your gate to ensure it stays within its rated operating parameters.
Every replacement includes a fresh surge protector and a full entrapment protection test to ensure the gate stops and reverses exactly when it should.
Gate Intercom System Installation and Repair
Knowing exactly who is outside before you open the gate is the core of home security.
Our Audio-visual technicians keep your properties safe by installing and servicing HD 1080p video intercoms, SIP-based telephone entry, and DoorKing DKS systems that call your cell phone directly.
Every installation features weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosures and is tested through a full communication handshake to ensure clear audio and video every time.
Preventive Gate Maintenance Programs
You will never have to worry about major breakdowns that cost a fortune and keep you locked out of your property.
Our scheduled maintenance programs catch tiny issues like worn nylon rollers, loose terminal connections, or misaligned magnetic sensors.
Catching these hardware failures early protects your operator’s warranty and saves you from the high cost of emergency service calls.
