Custom Metal Gates for Commercial & Residential Properties

Driveway gates, pedestrian gates, swing gates, and automated access systems. Ornamental and industrial configurations engineered and fabricated for security, access control, and curb appeal.

Gates

Access Control Meets Architectural Craft

Custom metal gates are one of the most visible and impactful fabrications we produce. A well-designed gate defines the entry experience for a property, whether it is a luxury residential estate, a commercial development, a multifamily community, or a municipal facility. Metal City Fab has fabricated and installed hundreds of custom gate systems since 1992.

We design and fabricate every gate to the specific requirements of the project. From ornamental estate gates with intricate scrollwork to heavy-duty industrial slide gates with automated operators, our team handles the full scope: engineering, fabrication, finishing, operator integration, and field installation.

We work with steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and wrought iron. Gate configurations include single swing, double swing, cantilever slide, V-track slide, vertical pivot, and barrier arm systems. Automation options include keypads, card readers, telephone entry, and vehicle detection loops. We coordinate with access control integrators to deliver a complete, turnkey solution.

Our estimating team responds to bid requests promptly. PE-stamped engineering available for structural and wind load requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What types of metal gates does Metal City Fab build?
Custom driveway gates, pedestrian gates, security gates, and architectural entry gates in steel and aluminum, fabricated to the site and the opening rather than pulled from a catalog.
Can you match a gate to existing fencing or building architecture?
Yes. As a custom fabricator we build to your drawings, finishes, and hardware so the gate integrates with the surrounding fence, facade, or access system.
Do you handle powder coating and finishing in house?
Finishing is part of the fabrication package. Gates are finished to the color and specification the project calls for so they arrive ready to install.
What areas does Metal City Fab serve?
We fabricate from our Warren, Michigan shop and take on commercial, industrial, and multifamily projects nationwide. Send your scope and our team will follow up.
