Gates, garage doors, fencing & automation for Brentwood homes and businesses
Within a couple of miles, Brentwood asks three different things of a gate: a sure way out at the top of a canyon, room to pull off Sunset, and a low, quiet line in front of a Crestwood Hills modern. Nothing is built until you approve the drawing. Our fabrication partner of 15 years builds it, our licensed installers put it in, and our phones are answered 24/7 for gate and garage door repairs.

Gates in Brentwood
Brentwood splits along Sunset Boulevard. South of it, the streets around Brentwood Park and San Vicente are flat, wide, and formal, and the gates tend toward traditional iron with matching fence or clean steel on newer homes. North of Sunset — Mandeville, Kenter, and the other canyons — the driveways climb and curve, and the gate has to be designed for the slope, the retaining walls, and the space that actually exists to swing or slide.
Brentwood is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS, and the canyon parcels carry hillside review. We confirm what your address needs before the drawing and design the gate to comply, and if it needs a permit, we can take care of the application for an added fee. Coastal air reaches the west side of Brentwood, so we spec finishes accordingly — galvanizing is available for iron that will live near the marine layer.
Automation and access control are standard requests: keypads and remotes at minimum, and video intercoms or phone entry for households that run on deliveries and guests. Every automated gate we install carries the photo eyes and edge sensors that UL 325 and ASTM F2200 require.
Local conditions
Mandeville Canyon Road climbs roughly five miles and dead-ends, so in a fire everyone above you leaves the same way. A gate up there should still open with the power out: on battery, by a fail-open setting, or by a manual release the household has actually tried. If you can, leave it open when you evacuate so engines can reach the house.
On Sunset, San Vicente or Bundy, a car waiting at a gate set by the sidewalk is still sitting in traffic. Setting the gate back at least a car length, with the keypad beside it, lets the car clear the street and the sidewalk before it stops. On projects it reviews, LADOT treats 20 feet of waiting room in front of an entry gate as the minimum.
Crestwood Hills began as the post-war Mutual Housing Association, with houses by A. Quincy Jones and Whitney Smith set into the slope. A gate there usually works best low and plain: horizontal cedar or redwood on a slim steel frame, or flat steel in a dark color, with the hardware kept out of sight. Ornament fights that architecture.
