Gates, garage doors, fencing & automation for Pacoima homes and businesses
Pacoima's iron runs from residential front fences to the security perimeters of its industrial yards, and both now come with rules — Clean Up Green Up standards for the yards, height limits for the frontage. 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 Pacoima
Pacoima has a long tradition of iron. Drive the residential streets and you will see wrought-iron fences, picket driveway gates, and window guards on a large share of the houses — practical, durable, and part of the neighborhood's look. That is our home ground: our fabrication partner of 15 years forms and welds the iron to our drawings, so a new gate can match the fence that is already there, or the whole frontage can be replaced from one drawing.
The other half of Pacoima's work is commercial. Along San Fernando Road, Glenoaks, and the streets around Whiteman Airport, yards and shops need slide gates that close behind every truck, security fencing that cannot be climbed or cut quickly, and access control that keeps the property secured after hours. We build those gates heavier, on high-cycle operators, and answer 24/7 when one fails.
Pacoima is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS. Estimates are free and written, from our office in nearby Van Nuys.
Local conditions
On CUGU parcels, a listed industrial use that builds new, changes use or substantially remodels can't put chain link, barbed wire or concertina wire on its perimeter. Trash goes in a gated, covered enclosure at least six feet tall, and open-air storage sits behind a solid noncombustible wall with self-closing gates.
A common Pacoima frontage pairs concrete-block pilasters with iron panels and a swing gate between them. Before we hang a heavier gate or add a motor, we check whether a pilaster is reinforced and footed for the load; often the answer is a steel post in its own footing, set where the old hinge pilaster stood.
Under CUGU, a listed use that abuts homes, a school or a park in commercial and industrial zones builds a six-foot solid concrete or masonry wall the full length of that property line, with no openings. Gates then belong on the street frontage, so we lay out vehicle and pedestrian access there from the start.
