Built to Fit
A gate frame sized to your opening and matched to your opener’s weight rating, built to handle Colorado’s freeze-thaw seasons.
What Goes Wrong
A frame that exceeds the opener’s rated capacity strains the motor and shortens its cycle life within months.
Material gauge and configuration are selected before welding so the finished frame stays within the operator’s rated load.
Standard panel widths rarely match Denver’s non-standard driveway openings, leaving gaps or forcing the frame out of square.
The opening width and post spacing are measured first, and the frame is fabricated to those exact dimensions before delivery.
A frame that is not fitted to the hinge geometry causes the latch to miss the strike plate, so the gate never seats flush at close.
Latch and lock hardware is aligned after the frame is hung, then confirmed under power so the gate closes and locks on every cycle.
Colorado’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles accelerate rust and warping on frames that were not built for the opening they cover.
Steel, wrought iron, or aluminum is chosen based on corrosion profile and opener arm length before a single weld is made.
Scope of Work
From material selection through on-site fitting, every step is tied to the specific opening and opener in use.
Steel tubing welded to the measured opening width, balancing strength and weight for swing or slide operators.
Dense ornamental iron frames built to dimension and fitted to posts and hinges rated for the added load.
Corrosion-resistant aluminum frames that reduce motor strain, suited to longer swing arms and high-cycle openers.
Frame geometry and hinge placement matched to the chosen operator type so the motor drives the full arc cleanly.
Hardware selected and aligned to the frame so the gate seats flush and the latch engages on every powered cycle.
Gate tested through full open and close cycle after install.
Existing posts assessed before fabrication begins.
Mounting point matched to swing arm geometry.
Material chosen for Denver’s freeze-thaw exposure.
Why Choose Us
Every partner is matched to the specific gate configuration, material, and opener in use, not assigned by availability alone.
Partners confirm frame weight against the operator’s cycle rating before fabrication starts, not after delivery.
Every custom frame is fitted and tested against LiftMaster swing and slide operators with MyQ access capability.
Latch, lock, and safety hardware on every install meets UL 325 so the gate stops before striking a vehicle or person.
Posts, hinges, hardware, and opener compatibility are all scoped in the initial quote, no add-on surprises at install.
Partners are familiar with Colorado freeze-thaw exposure and select materials and coatings accordingly.
The Process
01
A local specialist measures the opening, assesses the posts, and selects material and gauge to match the opener’s weight rating.
02
The frame is welded to the measured dimensions, then hung on posts and hinges with latch and lock hardware aligned to the strike plate.
03
The gate runs through a full powered open-and-close cycle to confirm smooth movement, latch engagement, and opener arm alignment.
