"Made to order to fit within 2 existing structures" |
|
Our secure, Online Store allows you
to ADD our "standard" sized gates to your shopping cart.
Standard gates are typically ordered by our customers.
However, we can fabricate a "custom" width gate for you. A custom gate is a gate to go between 2
existing structures on your property like a house and a garage,
2 buildings OR 2 existing posts (ex: wood posts) that are already in place.
We can fabricate a gate for any measurement that you need,
however, please note the following maximum widths that are
available per each GRADE::
|
Grade 1: Residential
= single-swing
gates up to 72" wide & double-swing gates up
to 144" wide
Grade 2: Residential-WIDE = single-swing
gates up to 72" wide double-swing gates
up to 144" wide
Grade 3: COMMERCIAL = single-swing gates up to 120" wide & double-swing gates up to 288" wide
Grade 4: INDUSTRIAL = single-swing gates
up to 144" wide & double-swing gates up to 432" wide |

How do I order a Custom Gate? |
|
You need to round up (to the next
higher standard gate price) when ordering your gate.
In the example diagram above, you would need to order a 144" (12
feet) wide gate. When checking out in our secure, Online
Store you will see in STEP 3: REVIEW & PAYMENT a
Customer Notes text
box. In that box you will need to tell us what the
Daylight Opening Measurement (DLO) is for your opening. In
the sample diagram above, the daylight opening measurement is
11' 1". We will fabricate your gate to fit within your
specific opening measurement. We will also subtract 3/4"
on each side so that you have room for your gate lock and
hinges.
You do NOT necessarily have to
purchase our posts when ordering a custom width gate. However, you may want
to purchase gate hinge Back Plates so that your self-closing
hinges can be surface mounted to your existing structure.
HEAVY DUTY gate hinges (included with your purchase) for use
with very large, wide gates do NOT need to have gate hinge Back
Plates. These hinges already have the ability to be
surface mounted. |
|
Back
Plates
(for use only with self-closing gate hinges) |
|
|
Gate hinge back plates are simply a rectangular piece of painted
cast aluminum that fits within the lip of our self-closing gate
hinges so that you have a flat surface to mount the hinges to
your existing structure (house, building, existing wood
post...etc.)
Never order gate hinge back plates for STYLE 7 or STYLE 8.
