Our Industrial and Commercial Gate Installation in Pasadena, CA
Businesses across Pasadena need strong, reliable gates that work every day without problems. We install commercial gate solutions for warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities throughout the city.
Strong Steel Gates Built to Last
We build heavy-duty steel gates that can handle constant daily use at your business. Our gates use thick steel with reinforced corners and industrial hinges that support heavy weight. Each gate gets a strong foundation that keeps it working smoothly for years, even when opening and closing many times each day. These steel gates stop unwanted entry while giving you the strength you need for loading areas, parking garages, and restricted zones. Pasadena businesses along Colorado Boulevard and in the industrial areas near the 210 Freeway trust our commercial installations to protect their properties.
Automatic Systems That Save Time
Electric gate operators make running your business easier by letting people in quickly without someone manually opening the gate. We install modern automation that works with key cards, remote controls, and keypads so employees and delivery trucks can enter fast. These automatic gate systems connect to your existing security setup and keep records of everyone who comes and goes. This helps you reduce staff costs at entry points while knowing exactly who accessed your property. For busy Pasadena businesses, this means smoother operations and better security without extra work.
Safe and Code-Compliant Installation
Every commercial gate we install follows California safety rules and building codes. We add important safety features like sensors that stop the gate from closing on cars or people, emergency release handles, and clear warning signs. Our team knows all the latest safety requirements and makes sure your automated gate has the right protection systems. This keeps your business safe from accidents and legal problems while making employees and visitors feel confident about using your gates.
Our Security Gate Systems with Access Control
Keeping your Pasadena property secure matters whether you live in Linda Vista, East Pasadena, or near the Rose Bowl. We install complete security gate systems that give you control over who enters your property and when.
Control Who Gets In
Modern access control gates let you decide exactly who can open your gate. We set up systems that work with key cards, fingerprint scanners, phone apps, and number pads. You can give different people different levels of access—residents get full access, guests get temporary codes, and delivery drivers might only get access during business hours. The system keeps track of every time someone opens the gate, which helps you stay informed about activity at your property. This is especially useful for Pasadena's many gated communities and apartment complexes.
Add Security Cameras
We connect security cameras to your ornamental iron fencing to watch your entire entrance. The cameras record everyone who comes to your gate, with clear video even at night. You can watch live video on your phone from anywhere, whether you're at work or on vacation. The cameras mount neatly on your custom metal gates without ruining their good looks. Many Pasadena homeowners combine beautiful wrought iron gates with hidden cameras for complete security that doesn't sacrifice style.
Emergency Access Features
Y
our security gate installation includes special features for emergencies. We program systems so fire trucks, ambulances, and police can get in quickly when needed. The gates can be set to stay locked during power outages or to open automatically, depending on what works best for your property. Our team helps you choose the right emergency settings based on whether you have a home, apartment building, or business. This gives you peace of mind knowing first responders can reach you fast in any emergency.
Smart Metal Gate Installation
Today's technology makes metal gates smarter and easier to use. We bring modern smart features to Pasadena homes and businesses, giving you control and convenience from anywhere.
Control Your Gate from Your Phone
Our smart driveway gate installation lets you control everything from your smartphone. You can open the gate for guests when you're not home, get alerts every time the gate opens, and give temporary access codes to house cleaners or contractors. The app works on iPhones and Android phones and shows you if your gate is open or closed right now. You can also check your battery levels and system health. This means you'll never leave visitors waiting outside or wonder if you forgot to close the gate after leaving for work.
Use Voice Commands
We connect electric gate operators to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control your gate with your voice. Just say "open the driveway gate" as you're pulling up to your home. You can also ask your voice assistant if the gate is closed without getting up from the couch. This hands-free control is perfect for people with mobility issues or anyone who wants their gate to work with their other smart home devices. It's a popular feature for tech-savvy Pasadena residents who want everything connected.
Get Maintenance Warnings
Smart automatic gate systems watch themselves and tell you when something needs attention. The system tracks how many times your gate opens, checks motor temperature, and notices unusual problems. You'll get a message on your phone when it's time to oil the hinges, replace batteries, or if something is blocking the gate. This helps you fix small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Your gate lasts longer and breaks down less often, saving you money and hassle over the years.
Decorative and Ornamental Iron Gate Installation
Pasadena is known for beautiful homes and architectural charm. Our decorative gates create stunning entrances that match your property's style while keeping it secure.
Custom Designs for Your Home
We start every ornamental iron fencing project by talking with you about what you want. Our team designs gates that fit your home's style, whether you have a historic Craftsman bungalow, a Spanish Colonial Revival home, or a modern property. We can add your family initials, custom scrollwork, geometric patterns, or nature designs like leaves and vines. The city's Landmark District and historic preservation areas often need gates that respect traditional architecture, and we're experts at creating period-appropriate designs. Every gate is built in our local workshop to match your exact vision.
Handmade Decorative Details
What makes our gates special is the handcrafted metalwork. Our skilled craftsmen create beautiful details by hand, including scrolls, decorative tops, flower designs, and custom artwork. We use traditional techniques along with modern tools to make intricate patterns and smooth curves. Each decorative piece is carefully welded to look like one solid piece rather than parts put together. This level of craftsmanship matches the quality you see throughout Pasadena's historic neighborhoods and architecturally significant areas.
Beautiful Finishes That Last
We offer many finish options to protect your metal and make it look great. Choose from powder coating in many colors, classic black wrought iron finishes, weathered rust looks for vintage style, or custom colors that match your house. All finishes include rust protection and proper prep work so your gate stays beautiful for decades in Pasadena's sunny climate. We also offer maintenance services like cleaning and touch-up painting to keep your gate looking new. With minimal 20 inches of rain per year and mild temperatures, Pasadena's weather is ideal for long-lasting metal gate finishes.
