A gate is the first thing people see and the first line of security for your property. Triple B Garage Doors and Gates does something most companies do not: we both custom fabricate gates in-house and automate them, so one company handles your entire project from the steel up. Whether you need a single walk gate, a wide commercial slider, a statement driveway entrance, or a fully managed commercial access system, the gate and the system that runs it are built for your property, not pulled off a shelf.

We have been building and automating custom gates since September 2012, and we serve the Phoenix Metro area, including Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Phoenix, and Maricopa.

What a Custom Gate Adds to Your Property

Security

A gate is the first barrier between your property and the outside world. A properly built and installed gate makes it significantly harder for unwanted visitors to get onto your property, and keeps kids and pets from wandering off it. For commercial and HOA properties, a gate controls who and what comes onto the site in the first place.

Control and Convenience

Pair your custom gate with automation and you control entry and exit with a remote, a keypad, or your phone. No spare keys to manage, no getting out of the car to open a manual gate. We design and build the gate, and we can automate it as part of the same project or down the road.

Curb Appeal and Value

A well-designed gate is a statement piece. It sets the tone for the entire property before anyone reaches the front door. According to a piece published on RealtyTimes, a gated entrance can meaningfully increase a home’s value, with one estimate citing a potential increase of $50,000 or more for the right property. A custom gate built to match your home’s architecture, rather than a generic option, is what makes that kind of impact possible.

Custom Gate Fabrication

We fabricate every gate in-house using steel, often called wrought iron, or aluminum. Each material has a place depending on your goals.

Steel (Wrought Iron)

Steel is the most popular choice for custom gates. It is strong, durable, and the traditional material for driveway and security gates. Every steel gate we quote includes a textured black or textured bronze powder coat finish, but you can choose any color of powder coat to get the finish that perfectly matches your aesthetic.

Aluminum

Aluminum is lightweight and naturally rust-resistant, but it is a more expensive material and a more involved build process than steel. It is a strong choice for large gates, highly custom designs, or for homeowners who want something distinctive that most of their neighbors do not have.

Swing Gate or Slide Gate?

The two main styles are swinging and sliding, and the right one depends on your space and how the gate will be used. A swing gate opens inward or outward on hinges and is the classic choice where there is room for the leaf to swing. A swing gate can be a single leaf or, on a wider opening, dual leaf with two halves that meet in the middle.

A slide gate is a single panel that travels along a track to one side. Because a sliding gate needs clearance equal to its full width plus about two feet on one side, it is especially common in commercial settings where that run of space is available along a fence line, and it is a strong option for driveways where a swing gate has no room to open. We help you choose the right style during your consultation.

Custom Gate Pricing

Every gate is priced by the linear foot of width, plus a build fee, with a $1,100 minimum. Infill options include steel sheet, perforated or decorative steel, cedar or redwood pickets, composite pickets, or composite decking.

Swinging Gates

$220 per foot of width plus a $250 build fee.

Sliding Gates

$275 per foot of width plus a $450 build fee.

Gate Automation

Gate automation turns a manual gate into a controlled access point. Whether you need a simple remote-operated driveway gate or a fully managed commercial access system with license plate recognition and offsite database control, we design and install the right solution for your property. The operator you need depends on whether your gate swings or slides, how heavily it will be used, and whether it is a single or dual-leaf gate. Dual-leaf swing gates use one operator per leaf.

Gate Operator Pricing

All pricing below is for the operator installed. Access control features, safety devices, and entry systems are priced separately based on your setup.

Entry and Access Systems

Every automated gate needs a way to grant or deny access. The right entry system depends on who is using the gate, how often, and how much control you need over the process.

Basic Entry

All of our operators are quoted standard with two remotes and two basic keypad entries, one inside and one outside, allowing entry by code without a remote.

Advanced Entry

For properties that need more than a basic keypad, we install a full range of entry systems including video keypads, telephone entry, cellular entry, and RFID and Wiegand-compatible devices including windshield tags, keyfobs, and access cards.

Full Access Control

For commercial properties, HOAs, and any site where managing who has access matters, we install full access control systems with onsite and offsite data entry, client database management, and license plate reader cameras. Advanced features such as intercom systems, biometric scanners, gooseneck posts, and mesh network extensions for remote automation access are also available. Full access control systems typically carry a monthly service fee depending on the platform and features selected.

Safety and Traffic Control

A properly installed gate automation system does more than open and close. We install vehicle presence loops and photo eyes to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle, directional traffic control spikes, and barrier arms for controlled single-direction access. For properties that require it, we install fire pre-emption devices including TOMAR strobe detectors and Knox key switches, as well as RFID and Wiegand windshield tag readers for authorized vehicle access.

Brands We Work With

We work with a wide range of gate operator manufacturers including LiftMaster, DoorKing (DKS), All-O-Matic, Viking, FAAC, and others.

For access control, we also utilize Security Brands, Linear, SECO-LARM, DoorKing, Multi-Code, Ritron, ProdataKey, Watchman, LiftMaster, AES, and more.

If you have an existing system from another brand that needs service, repair, or integration with new access features, we can help.

How We Work

Call or text us, and during business hours a sales consultant can talk through your gate. If you reach us after hours, we will call back the next business day. You can also fill out our online contact form.

From there, we set up a free, no-obligation onsite estimate and work with you on design, material, and dimensions to make sure the gate fits your property and your goals. There is no pressure and no upselling products that do not fit your situation. Standard custom gate builds typically take 2 to 4 weeks, and highly custom or complex designs can take longer. If you are automating a gate, standard automation installation runs 1 to 2 weeks, with larger or more complex projects taking additional time. Repairs and automation service calls are same-day.

If you already have a gate and want to upgrade it with automation, new hardware, or a fresh look, we can work with your existing gate as well as build a new one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom gate cost?

Custom gates are priced by the linear foot. A standard wrought iron swinging gate is $220 per foot plus a $250 build fee. A standard sliding gate is $275 per foot plus a $450 build fee. Both start at a $1,100 minimum and include a durable powder coat finish. Aluminum gates cost more due to material and fabrication.

How much does gate automation cost?

Operator pricing starts at $3,025 for a single-leaf hydraulic swing arm and $4,545 for a residential slide operator. Commercial and heavy-duty single-leaf operators range from $5,320 to $7,525, and dual-leaf systems go higher. Access control features, entry systems, and safety devices are priced on top based on what your property needs. All pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins.

What materials do you build gates from?

We custom fabricate every gate in steel (wrought iron) or aluminum, with steel sheet, perforated or decorative steel, cedar or redwood pickets, composite pickets, or composite decking as infill options. We do not install vinyl, wood, pre-made, or chain link gates.

What is the difference between a swing and slide gate operator?

Swing operators use an arm or pad-mount mechanism to push or pull the gate leaf open, and a dual-leaf swing gate needs one operator per leaf. Slide operators drive the gate along a track and require clearance equal to the gate width plus about two feet on one side. The right choice depends on your gate style and available space.

How long does a custom gate take to build?

Standard custom gate builds typically take 2 to 4 weeks. Highly custom or complex designs can take longer. Standard automation installation runs 1 to 2 weeks. Repairs and automation service on existing gates are handled same-day.

Can you automate a gate you build for me?

Yes. We can design, build, and automate your gate as part of the same project, or automate it later if you decide to add that down the road.

Do you install access control and entry systems?

Yes. We install everything from a basic keypad to full access control with license plate readers, telephone and cellular entry, RFID credentials, intercoms, and onsite or offsite database management. We help you match the system to how you actually use the gate.
