Brown horizontal-slat metal driveway gate between pale walls

5.0 Stars on Google & Houzz — BBB A+ Accredited Since 2006

North Hills was Sepulveda until the 1990s, and it still packs a Palmer & Krisel mid-century tract, sprawling garden-apartment complexes and Roscoe Boulevard car lots side by side. Each asks something different of a gate. 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 North Hills

What building a gate in North Hills actually involves

North Hills is right up the street from our office, and it is one of the most varied neighborhoods we serve: single-family tracts west of Sepulveda, dense apartment corridors along Sepulveda, Nordhoff, and Parthenia, and industrial and commercial blocks toward Roscoe Boulevard. We build for all three — driveway gates and fence for the houses, high-cycle garage and pedestrian gates for the buildings, security gates for the yards.

For homeowners, the common request is a straightforward automated driveway gate: iron picket or steel slat, keypad and remotes, sensors to UL 325 and ASTM F2200. For property managers, it is uptime — fob or phone-entry access, vehicle detection, and someone who answers at midnight when a gate fails with residents behind it. North Hills is inside the City of Los Angeles; permits go through LADBS, and when a project needs one, we can take care of it for an added fee.

Being this close to our office means estimates are easy to schedule, and a gate or fence section that needs to be rebuilt rather than patched goes to our fabrication partner of 15 years.

Local conditions

What changes the build in North Hills

  • Storybook Village's Palmer & Krisel houses

    Between Plummer and Tupper, the 143 houses of Storybook Village were designed by Palmer & Krisel in 1956: low, horizontal and unornamented. A gate that follows them stays low too, with horizontal steel or cedar slats and plain posts. Scroll-heavy iron fights the architecture, and the tract's orange and jacaranda trees need room.

  • Garden-apartment fire lanes

    Large apartment complexes often run an internal drive that doubles as a fire lane. Gating it brings LAFD's standard: a labeled override box on a post beside the gate, full opening within 10 seconds, release by spring or a push when power and battery both fail, 20 feet of clear width, and stacking room so visitors don't wait in the street.

  • Car lots and motels on Roscoe and Sepulveda

    Dealerships along Roscoe Boulevard keep inventory on large rear lots, and older motels on Sepulveda park guests around a central lot. Both need gates wide enough for a car carrier or a late check-in that can still close the lot at night, usually run on a keypad or phone entry rather than a key.
