Gate systems planned for reliable access across the Front Range.

Opening width, traffic, grade, wind, material, frequency of use, security, available swing or slide space, automation, and the adjoining fence all affect the right gate system.

A gate places concentrated leverage on its supporting posts. Post size, footing, frame rigidity, hinges, rollers, and latching must be designed for the gate’s weight and use.

Possibly, but the gate must first be checked for alignment, rigidity, travel, posts, and safe geometry. An operator also requires power, entrapment protection, safety devices, controls, and emergency access planning.

Use an appropriately sized frame, diagonal or engineered reinforcement, structural posts, quality hinges, and realistic opening widths. Drainage, frost movement, wind, and user habits also affect performance.

Usually, although weathering, discontinued products, and coating differences can limit an exact match. The frame, infill, profile, finish, and hardware can still be coordinated intentionally.
