A gate built to a drawing and dropped into place rarely fits perfectly. That is why our crew brings the welder to the job and finishes each gate on site.
Real openings are not perfect
Driveways slope, posts are set a fraction off, concrete has a crown. A gate made only in the shop has no way to account for those details. Fitting on site means the leaves meet evenly, clear the ground and latch cleanly.
- Leaves meet evenly in the middle
- Correct ground clearance on a slope
- Hinges set for smooth swing
- Latch engages without force
Stronger connections
Welding hinges and brackets in position gives a stronger, cleaner connection than bolting generic hardware after the fact. There are fewer parts to loosen over time.
What it means for you
A gate that swings true is safer, more secure and simply nicer to use every day. It also avoids the call-backs and adjustments that come with a poorly fitted gate.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build gates in the shop too?
Yes — frames and panels are fabricated ahead, then final fitting, hinge work and adjustments happen on site.
Is welding on site safe for my property?
Crews use proper protection and keep the area clear; welding is done on the gate and posts, away from the house.
Can you repair my existing metal gate?
Many metal gates can be re-hung, re-welded or have hinges replaced. We can assess it on site.
