GATES & GATE AUTOMATION
Gates are the entrance to your home
A beautiful gate has the power to completely transform the first impression your visitors have and it will be a wonderful reminder that you are at home. A well made gate is a pleasure to open and close and you will feel the quality it is made with – Every day!
At Westlake Dream Gates we offer a variety of different gates made with wood, aluminum, steel or wrought iron. All our wood gates have a steel frame to provide the strength and sturdiness to make your gate last for years without any sag or warp. There is a huge variety of different hardware for hinges, latches and locks that we can build in our gates.
Sometimes a classic like a standard self locking latch is all you need and other times a WIFI enabled deadbolt is the way to go. For projects with intercom system we can install electric strikes to open your pedestrian gate from anywhere with your phone. We can help you with either one.
Which gate type do I need?
There are two different types of swing gates single swing gates and double swing gates. Typically a single swing gate is between 3 ft and 4 ft wide. Usually they open 90 degrees in one direction inside or outside but they can also be manufactured too swing 180 degrees. Larger driveway gates are often build with double swing gates to cover a driveway of 20 or more feet.
Roll gates are a great option if your space allows to have the entire width of the gate roll to the side. They use very little space and allow maximum space to park a car within a few feet of the gate

- As soon as you see the gaps of the gate are changing or the gate starts rubbing against the post or floor, call a professional to evaluate the problem.
- Most important of all. Turn sprinklers away from your gate. This will add decades to the lifetime of your gate
