Security Iron Works Service: Double Gates

Whether your driveway wanders through front-yard landscaping, or beelines straight for your home, a gate can add an unparalleled “wow” factor that impresses guests and secures your yard.

Our iron double gates are especially impressive – offering the grand entrance you’ve always dreamed of for your home.

Double gates fabricated locally right here in New Orleans and installed by our highly trained contractors add an additional level of security and prowess to your property.

Our professional welders and fabricators can craft a wide range of styles to suit your tastes and design preferences, including arched top, flat top, and arched with finials (where posts extend past the top rail of the gate). If you have an iron-wrought fence, we can advise on the best style to match.

What is a double automatic gate?

Automatic gates can only be opened with a unique gate opener (like a garage opener), keypad pin, or intercom system. Electric gates discourage trespassers and prevent solicitors from entering your property. If you’re concerned about the safety of your property, installing an electric driveway gate is a good security measure for your peace of mind.

A double gate is essentially two iron-wrought gates installed at the end of your driveway like double French doors.

Your double gate can be installed two ways:

• If you already have a fence, a double gate adds a layer of security to your home by restricting entry to people you trust.
• Otherwise, we can install a double gate between stone, metal, or wood pillars for an elegant entrance feature.

Our double gates can swing toward your home when you pull up, or they can slide to the side along a fence when you approach. If you’re pulling from a busy street into your driveway, this gives you more space to pull out of traffic while you open the gate.

With Big Easy Iron Works, you have the ability to choose from a variety of style options available for your iron-wrought gate. Or, if you have something custom in mind, we can create your gate using an array of different shapes and designs, with ornamental posts or finials for a more intricate and elegant finish.

Why install a double gate

Double gates are impressive and bold, making your entryway stand out in a positive and striking way. However, double-gates might not always be the best option depending on your space and layout.

We’ll gladly answer any questions you have and help you understand which gate style (if any) will best fit your home and how we can work with your existing décor, design and layout to find or fabricate the perfect fit to bring your vision into reality.

Here are a few reasons our double-gate clients love our double-gated options:

• If you’re going to create a grand entrance to your home, why not install something that will stand out and leave a lasting impression?
• All our automatic driveway gates for New Orleans homes can be installed with passes (like garage door openers), keypads, and intercoms. If your friends come to visit, you just need to give them the key code or ask them to “buzz in” (and the mailman can do the same).
• These iron gates are available in many designs and materials, and the size of a double gate can show off even a subtle style in a dramatic way
• There’s not much maintenance required for our double gates; New Orleans residents only need to oil them about once a year
• We also offer electric gate repair. You won’t have to worry about hiring a second contractor, who may be unfamiliar with your specific gate to repair it. Just call us again and we’ll come out and see what’s wrong.
• Gates also increase security and home value by signaling to trespassers that your home is off-limits.

Our highly-rated professionals can select a double gate style with you that matches your current architecture and protects your home.
