Gates & Gate Operators – Secure, Convenient Access for Columbus Properties
A fence isn’t complete without a well‑designed gate, and automating your gate makes everyday life more convenient and secure. Fence Company of Columbus offers custom gates and gate operator solutions for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Columbus, OH.
The Importance of a Quality Gate
Gates serve as the controlled entry point to your property. The right gate adds functionality and curb appeal while protecting your home or business. Here’s why investing in a properly designed gate matters:
- Security: A sturdy gate deters unwanted entry and keeps children and pets safely inside your yard.
- Convenience: Driveway gates with automatic openers allow you to enter and exit your property without leaving your vehicle—a major benefit during inclement weather.
- Curb appeal: Custom gates can become a focal point, enhancing the overall look of your property. Choose from styles that complement your fence and home architecture.
- Property value: A cohesive fence and gate system signals quality and care, which can increase resale value and attract customers for businesses.
Our Installation Process
Whether you’re adding a gate to an existing fence or installing a new fence and gate together, our process is straightforward:
1
Assessment and design
We evaluate your property and discuss the best gate style, material and operator. We consider driveway width, slope, power availability and local regulations.
2
Manufacture and preparation
Gates are built to order for a perfect fit. We ensure proper hinge placement, hardware selection and structural support.
3
Installation
Our technicians set posts, hang the gate and install the operator. We run power where necessary and configure access devices.
4
Testing and training
We test all components for smooth operation and safety. We then show you how to operate your gate system and provide maintenance tips.
Our Gate Options
We build and install a wide variety of gates, tailored to your fence type and property layout:
Walk gates
Single‑swing pedestrian gates provide easy access for people and pets. They’re often used in backyard fences, garden areas and side yards.
Driveway gates
Available as single‑swing, double‑swing or sliding designs. Swing gates are ideal for wide, clear driveways, while sliding gates are perfect where space is limited or terrain is steep.
Ornamental gates
Enhance your fence with decorative iron or aluminum gates featuring scrollwork, arches or custom monograms.
Wood gates
Coordinate with your wood fence for a cohesive look. We use cedar or pressure‑treated pine to build solid, durable gates that resist sagging.
Chain‑link gates
Functional and robust, chain‑link gates are suitable for commercial lots, sports facilities and utility enclosures.
Gate Operators and Access Control
Automating your gate elevates security and convenience. We supply and install gate operators and access systems tailored to your needs:
- Swing gate openers: Designed for single or double swing gates. Options include solar‑powered units and models with battery backups.
- Slide gate openers: Ideal for heavy gates or limited space. Slide operators provide smooth, reliable operation.
- Keypads and remotes: Choose remote transmitters, wireless keypads or smartphone‑enabled controls for hands‑free access.
- Intercoms and cameras: Integrated systems allow you to see and speak to visitors before granting entry—perfect for gated communities or businesses.
- Safety features: Photo‑eyes, loop detectors and edge sensors prevent gates from closing on vehicles or people. We install and test these devices to meet safety standards.
