What kind of gate is right for you? There are plenty of reasons to consider adding a gate to your railing project. Gates can perform a variety of functions. They can be used for safety, containment, security, or just decorative. In addition to being functional, your gate should seamlessly integrate with your architecture and the railing design. Whether for a backyard, deck, pool surround, or driveway entrance, the gate is often the first impression your guests encounter. Why not make it special?

Garden Gate

The Rosamond Gifford Zoo created a gorgeous garden scape entrance featuring a stream and a footbridge, as a natural oasis for zoo visitors to enjoy while waiting to enter the zoo. The curving boardwalks meandering throughout the garden are lined with Keuka cable railings to keep visitors out of unwanted areas. The lockable pedestrian garden gate was made to integrate with the cable railing system. This gate is used as access to the landscape and waterways for routine maintenance.

Double Pool Gate

Considering a pool gate? We design our gates to meet code requirements and match the desired style. There are a number of code requirements that are required to be included in a pool gate design. The gate must be at least 4 ft high, self-closing, self-latching, have a childproof locking mechanism, and open outward away from the pool. There are additional spacing requirements to be considered including distance from grade to the bottom rail, and vertical post spacing. Referencing your local building code pool requirements is recommended as this may vary in different municipalities. This double gate was custom made to fit the size of the stair opening. It is made of 316 stainless steel with vertical cables and a wood top rail. The gate is mounted tight to the stone walls surrounding the lower section of the pool.

Deck Gate

A gate on a deck entry is frequently used as a way to contain small children or pets. In addition, It can act as a deterrent to keep unwanted people or wild animals from accessing your deck. This deck gate is lockable and designed in the style of our curved Keuka cable railing system. The custom hinge used on this gate makes it possible to swing the gate 180 degrees to keep it open or closed, as desired.

Playground Gate

We fabricated this double gate and matching railing system for a new water park and playground located adjacent to “The Greenpoint” on Brooklyn’s East River waterfront. The railing is surface mounted on top of the concrete wall. The gate and railing are used to define the space and allow visitors only while open for use.

Ornamental Gate Style

Ornamental style gates add beauty and artistry to your entrance and decor. This ornamental gate serves as both an entrance and a barrier for “Amore” an Italian restaurant and wine bar in Rochester NY. The restaurant is located within a retail store, therefore it required customers to have access through the adjoining store. A well-designed gate balances function and beauty with both elements working in sync. This gate is lockable and made of hand-forged steel and powder-coated black with a hand-rubbed patina.

A wood-paneled gate adds an element of privacy. The combination of wood slats and steel frame were used to create a rustic aesthetic which complemented the homes craftsman architecture.

Driveway Gate

A driveway gate adds a dramatic touch to the entrance of your property and can be designed to reflect your personal style.
