How an install goes

Five steps from bare driveway to a gate that opens every time.

Every Safe Haven install follows the same order, so the gate is balanced before a motor ever touches it.

Site visit

We check slope, clearance, power and structure, then recommend the gate and operator. Free.

Footings and posts

Posts set to the right depth in reinforced concrete, so the gate never sags.

Hang and align

The gate is hung and balanced to move freely by hand before automation goes on.

Operator and safety

Operator mounted and calibrated: force limits, travel distance, photo eyes and sensors.

Test and hand over

Full function and obstruction test, then we walk you through every remote and code.

What affects the cost

Six things that set the price of a new gate.

Every opening is different, so we quote after a free site visit. These move the number most.

Width and heightBigger gates need more material and stronger operators.
Gate typeSwing, slide and cantilever gates need different hardware.
Material and designSteel, aluminum, iron and wood, plain or custom.
Ground and slopeSlopes, soft ground and concrete work add time.
PowerHow far power has to run, or whether solar makes sense.
Access controlKeypads, intercoms, remotes and phone apps.

Built from

Pick the look. We build it to carry a motor.

Steel, aluminum, wrought iron, wood and hybrid gates. Material is chosen for weather, weight and style, and every gate is reinforced so the operator never strains.

 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 it take to install an automatic gate?

Most automatic gate installations are completed within a few days, depending on complexity and site preparation.

What type of gate is best for my driveway?

It depends on layout, space and use. Swing gates suit level drives with room behind the gate, sliding gates suit wide openings, slopes and tight clearance, and dual swing gates suit wide, symmetrical entrances.

Do you install the opener, keypad and intercom too?

Yes. Every install includes the gate operator and safety sensors, and we can add keypads, remotes, intercoms, phone-based access and vehicle loop detectors.

Can I install an automatic gate myself?

It involves electrical work, structural alignment and safety systems. Professional installation is recommended so the gate operates properly and meets safety standards.

Do I get a price before the work starts?

Yes. The free on-site estimate lays out the full cost of the gate and install before any work starts.

How often should an automatic gate be maintained?

Routine maintenance is recommended at least once a year to keep the gate safe and reliable.
