Custom Metal Gate Fabrication and Installation
Our Hollywood Electric Gates & Custom Metal installers can design and build your custom metal gates with 12- to 14-gauge steel or aluminum, cut and welded in-house. The gates we once did for clients in West Hollywood match the customers specifications in style, size, and function. So, whether you need decorative scrollwork or clean, modern lines, we build it to your exact specifications.
Automatic Electric Gate Installation
We put in electric gates with UL-listed motors and heavy-duty gear-driven openers made to handle daily use without wearing out. Every system comes with photo-eye safety sensors, a weatherproof control box, and a couple of remote transmitters ready to go. Want a keypad or intercom too? We can add that in. Whether it's a house driveway or a busy commercial lot, we set things up to actually hold up to how often the gate gets used.
Manual Swing or Sliding Gate Installation
For clients who are not into automation, we build manual gates made of solid steel or aluminum. Not enough room to swing a gate open? Go with a sliding, track-mounted setup instead. Got the space? A side-hinged swing gate works great. Whatever you pick, we make sure to finish everything with a rust-resistant coating so you could use it for years.
Driveway Gate Installation
We have Hollywood electric gates and custom metal builders to help you with driveway gates using 2x2 or 2x4 steel tubing, then finish them with a powder coat so rust doesn't stand a chance. Every gate gets custom-sized to your driveway and reinforced to handle daily vehicle traffic without sagging or shifting over time. Steel pickets, mesh backing, and decorative panels are all available, so the final look can match whatever style or privacy level the property calls for.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
Our pedestrian gates are built for foot traffic, made from galvanized steel or aluminum and locked down with a deadbolt or magnetic lock. The compact design makes walking through easy while still keeping the perimeter properly secured, not just decorative. These show up a lot on garden paths, side entrances, and commercial walkways where a full driveway gate setup isn't necessary.

I had a custom electric gate installed with a keypad entry, and the team was professional from start to finish. It opens smoothly even after months of daily use, and the welding on the frame is some of the cleanest I've seen. Highly recommend Hollywood Electric Gates & Custom Metal!

We went with them for our driveway gate, a wrought iron design that had to match our home's existing ironwork exactly. They nailed it. The gate blends right in and hasn't given us a single issue since installation.

Our sliding gate needed to fit a tight side yard, and their crew figured out the track layout without cutting into our landscaping. Showed up on time both days, explained the motor setup clearly, and cleaned up after themselves. Can't ask for more.

How do swing gates and sliding gates differ on a West Hollywood driveway?
Swing gates and sliding gates differ across three main factors:
- Space Requirements: Swing gates need inward or outward clearance, while sliding gates move sideways along a wall or fence line.
- Slope Compatibility: Swing gates can drag on steep driveways, whereas sliding gates run smoothly on a level track regardless of ground incline.
- Opening Speed: Sliding gates open much faster, making them better for high-traffic entryways.
