Gates & Automation
From simple walk gates to fully automated entry systems — we design, build, and install gates that match your fence and fit how you actually use your property. Installed by the same local crew since 1975.
A gate is often the most-used part of any fence, so it needs to work right every time. Custom Fence Company builds and installs manual and automated gates to match any fence style — wood, vinyl, chain link, or ornamental aluminum — for driveways, yards, and commercial entrances across Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana.
Every gate we install is built with hinges, hardware, and posts sized for its actual use — a heavier gauge for driveway traffic, lighter and simpler for a backyard walk gate. For automated systems, we handle the wiring, sensors, and access controls so the gate opens reliably, every time, without you thinking about it.

Gates & Automation Questions
In many cases, yes — we can retrofit automation onto an existing gate if the hardware, posts, and structure can support the added weight and movement. If your current setup isn't a good fit, we can also build a new gate designed for automation from the start, so everything works together properly from day one.
We offer a range of access options for automated gates, so you can choose what fits how you use your property. Reach out and we'll walk you through what's available and recommend the setup that makes the most sense for your entrance.
Built for Everyday Use
Every gate we install is sized and hinged for its actual job — a heavier gauge for driveway traffic, lighter and simpler for a backyard walk gate. That means less strain on hardware, fewer sagging gates, and a gate that swings the same way years from now as it did on day one.
Reliable Automation
For automated gates, we handle the wiring, sensors, and access controls so everything works together the way it should. Keypads, remotes, and smartphone access are all available, giving you control over who gets in without sacrificing the convenience of coming and going on your own schedule.
