Driveway Gates

The right configuration depends on your property. A swing gate requires adequate clearance to open and can be affected by driveway slope, while a slide gate travels parallel to the fence line and can be a better solution when grade, trees, or landscaping limit swing clearance. Gate size and weight also affect operator selection, particularly with larger steel gates. During the site visit, we evaluate the driveway opening, slope, clearance, and surrounding conditions before recommending a configuration.

Yes. We can work from architectural plans, an inspiration photo, a sketch, one of our existing designs, or an original idea. Our team develops a drawing for approval before fabrication so the design, dimensions, and details are aligned before your gate is built.

Requirements vary by municipality, neighborhood, and project scope. We can provide drawings and project information for HOA approval or permit submissions and can assist with permitting when requested. In most cases, the homeowner, builder, or project representative handles the submission and approval process.

For a hardwired electric gate operator, electrical power and the appropriate conduit need to be brought to the gate location by a qualified electrician. Once power is in place, we install and configure the gate operator and gate-system wiring within our scope. We recommend coordinating electrical requirements before concrete, paving, or other finished work is completed.

Yes. We install both electric and solar gate operators. We generally recommend electric power when reliable electrical service can reasonably be brought to the gate. Solar gate operators can be an effective alternative for long driveways, acreage properties, or other locations where bringing electrical service to the gate is impractical.

Depending on the operator selected, automatic gate systems can include manual-release capabilities and battery backup. We can recommend the appropriate operator and backup options based on your gate, expected usage, and access requirements.

Maintenance depends on the gate configuration and automation system. Typical maintenance includes inspecting and lubricating moving components, keeping slide-gate travel areas clear, checking safety devices, and periodically inspecting the operator and gate hardware. Routine maintenance helps protect the gate system and extend its service life.

Yes. Because each gate is custom designed, we can develop the proportions, layout, and decorative details to complement your property’s architecture and surrounding ironwork.

In many cases, yes. Whether we can match an existing fence depends on its material, design, condition, and construction. We can evaluate the existing work and determine the best approach during the design process.

Our driveway gates are fabricated primarily from iron and steel components selected for strength, durability, and design flexibility. Depending on the design, gates may also incorporate ornamental iron elements and custom decorative details.

No. Lambert’s specializes in custom iron driveway gates rather than aluminum driveway gates. Our gates are fabricated primarily from steel, with solid ornamental iron elements incorporated into certain designs and decorative details.

We design and build custom iron driveway gates in single-swing, double-swing, and sliding configurations. Styles range from clean, modern designs to traditional ornamental gates, with manual or automatic operation depending on the project.

All of our custom gates reflect excellent craftsmanship, and we’re proud of the amazing results and quality job we deliver on each project.
