Quick answer

What should I plan before installing a driveway gate?

Measure the opening and check the slope, decide between swing and slide, confirm there is power at the gate, and find out whether your city or HOA needs a permit or approval. We check all of it on a free site visit and sort out the details with you before anything is built.

Driveway layout

Width, slope and clearance decide between a swing and a slide gate, and how strong the operator needs to be.

Permits & HOA

Some installs need a permit or HOA approval. We help you find out what applies before we start.

Power at the gate

A hardwired operator needs a power run. Where that is not practical, a solar operator is an option.

Style & material

Steel, aluminum, iron or wood, chosen for looks, weight and how much upkeep you want.

How you get in

Remotes, a keypad, an intercom or phone access, set up for family, guests and deliveries.

Cost

Price depends on gate size, materials, the operator, electrical work and site conditions. You get a written quote after the site visit.

Residential gate styles

Four ways to close your driveway.

We design the gate around the house, the drive and how you use it.

Classic iron

Pickets and scrolls for traditional homes.

Modern slat

Horizontal steel, aluminum or cedar slats.

Wood and steel

Cedar infill in a black steel frame.

Farm and ranch

Simple, strong gates for acreage and long drives.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company did a fantastic job on replacing our VERY inferior ALEKO product with a way better LIFTMASTER system. The LIFTMASTER system is miles apart from the other brand! So much smoother, cleaner and so much more! Safe Haven Electric Gates did a great job on the install making our gate open even further than the other brand. Very nice people to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly commend the technician Logan Uzan who came out to my home for a service call. The experience was fantastic from start to finish.
He was incredibly knowledgeable and pinpointed the issue immediately—truly spot-on with his diagnosis. What impressed me most was his willingness to share his expertise; he actually took the time to teach me a quick fix I could use in the future if the problem were to reoccur. That sort of helpfulness and transparency is rare these days.

Safe haven has been extremely customer service oriented from their initial quotes to service calls. Amazing people and service

How long does residential gate installation take?

Yes. Routine inspections and lubrication keep the gate safe and reliable and extend the life of the motor, hinges and rollers.

Are residential electric gates safe?

How much does a residential electric gate cost?

Cost depends on gate size, materials, the operator, electrical work and site conditions. A free site visit gives you an exact quote, and we match any written competitor quote.
