Gates, garage doors, fencing & automation for Van Nuys homes and businesses
Van Nuys, where our office is, has historic houses on deep lots, storefronts along Van Nuys Boulevard and truck yards around the airport, and each needs a different kind of 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 Van Nuys
Van Nuys is home. Our office is on Cabrito Road, so a Van Nuys estimate or repair call is the shortest trip we make. It also means we know the neighborhood's mix: residential streets of ranch houses and bungalows with driveway gates and side-yard fencing, apartment buildings along Sepulveda, Van Nuys Boulevard, and Victory with garage gates that never stop cycling, and the industrial blocks around the airport and Raymer Street that need security gates and perimeter fence.
Van Nuys is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS. Most lots are flat, which keeps automation simple, and most of the calls we get are about older gates — operators installed twenty years ago, iron rusting at the bottom rail, wood gates sagging off wood frames. Repairs are priced in writing on site; replacements are drawn for your approval and built by our fabrication partner of 15 years.
For commercial and multifamily owners, fabricated parts — a replacement panel, a new leaf, a section of fence a truck backed into — are drawn to match and built by our fabrication partner.
Local conditions
In the 1920s, poultry farming led to Van Nuys house lots being laid out very deep, with chicken houses at the back, and many still have a long driveway to a rear garage or a newer back unit. The gate can go at the street or partway down the drive; partway keeps the front open and shortens the wire run to the house.
Land around Van Nuys Airport is mostly light industrial and manufacturing, with trucks in and out all day. Those yards need a cantilever or heavy slide gate wide enough for a truck's turn, a foundation that debris won't jam, loops or sensors so the gate doesn't close on a trailer, and access control that logs every entry.
The HPOZ's preservation plan discourages new front-yard fencing where a house never had any, rules out chain link and cinder block where the public can see them, and says a gate to rear parking shouldn't hide the house's details or close off a porte-cochere. For Spanish Colonial Revival houses, it notes that wrought-iron fencing may be appropriate.
