Installing your new wooden gates should be fairly straightforward with the right tools, tips, and know-how. Custom Gate & Access offers exceptional customer service when it comes to the installation process of our products. Because Custom Gate & Access doesn't compromise on materials and gate thickness, the weight of our driveway entrance gates or any other product makes for impressive appearance, strength, and durability. For example, our average 7-foot-wide gate leaf weighs 350 pounds, which makes our wood gates very heavy. In addition, Custom Gate & Access embeds a steel frame into wood gates that are specified at over 4' thick. This additional manufacturing step results in less stress on the gate, producing a more stable product that is far less susceptible to cracking.
To sustain the weight of your redwood gates, we recommend using flange ball bearing hinges. As illustrated in the image below, typical fabrication includes a 3⁄4" cold-rolled steel pin which is attached to the concealed internal steel frame at both top and bottom. Whether you install one of our wooden driveway gates or garden gates, this steel pin extends through the gate up to 3" to allow for the connection of the flange bearing. The flange bearing is then bolted to a "T" strap (which can be provided upon request). The "T" strap is either embedded into a masonry column or welded to a steel post.
As the final phase of our manufacturing process, we want to make sure that the installation of your new driveway gate goes as smoothly as possible. In addition to the information provided on our website, we encourage you to speak with one of our knowledgeable team members. We are always available for any questions or concerns that you may have along the way. If you live in the San Francisco Bay area, you will be pleased to know that we offer installation of our automatic gates in SF Bay Area.
