Big Easy Iron Works: Affordable Driveway Gate Installer in New Orleans, LA

Imagine this: your friends are on their way to your house, they pull up to your address, and are greeted by a grand wood or wrought-iron gate, swinging boldly open to reveal your front yard, driveway, and magnificent fences upon their arrival.

Impressive right? We think so too.

Here at Big Easy Iron Works,  with our automatic and custom gates, New Orleans residents are able to add a stately entrance to their driveway while enhancing their home security. Electric gates can generally only be opened by intercom, controller, or keypad, allowing you to keep solicitors and trespassers out while welcoming friends and family into your home.

With our beautiful wrought-iron and wood gates, you’ll not only increase your security, but you’ll also enhance the curb appeal and value of your home.

No matter what your design ideas, we can create gates to complement existing fences, architecture, and landscaping, so that your home has a cohesive design that matches your personality.

Automatic Driveway Gate Options

An automatic driveway gate (also known as an electric driveway gate) is similar to a garage door.

It opens with a keypad or card controller when you approach, adding security to your yard while creating a unique aesthetic.

There are several styles for iron driveway gates, including:

• Single swing gates

One gate that swings toward your home or garage when you approach

• Single slide gates

An individual gate that slides to the right or to the left, usually along an adjacent fence, when you approach

• Double swing gates

Two gates, like French doors, that swing toward your home or garage when you approach

• Double slide gates
  

Two gates that slide together to the right or to the left, usually along an adjacent fence, when you approach

The gate type best suited for your home or driveway will depend on the amount of space available as well as your goals. A swing gate requires more driveway-to-curb space but less side-to-side space, while “fences” require more side-to-side space but almost no driveway-to-curb space.

Why install a driveway gate for your New Orleans home?

Driveway electric gate installation can complement your home and landscape’s design, add aesthetic prominence to your residence, and boost the value of your property while adding a level of security with fences that can help you feel safe and secure.

Additionally, it allows you to control access to your property and enhances the privacy of your home by providing an elegant entrance enclosed by beautiful fences.

Below, we’ve listed a few reasons our customers ultimately decide to install a driveway gate with us:

• An automatic gate provides a barrier to trespassers, solicitors, and any unwanted visitors or anyone considering a break-in. It keeps your home from being an easy target.
• Gates are a standout feature to add to your landscaping, and one of the very few landscaping features that is both aesthetically pleasing as well as tactically functional.
• There’s not much maintenance required for an electric driveway gate, beyond oiling the gate’s hinges once a year.
• Properly installed, a gate will last you many years of consistent service without issue.
• Should something unusual happen to your gate, our local gate company answers repair calls promptly, giving you peace of mind about the continued functioning of your gate? Additionally, if your gate should malfunction, you won’t be trapped in or out of your home; as the owner of the gate, you’ll be able to switch on a “manual mode” to enter and exit until we arrive.
• A gate can provide an added layer of safety for children and pets playing in your front yard, preventing them from running into the street.

We’ll work with you personally to ensure your new gate coordinates with your architecture, existing fencing, and landscaping, fitting perfectly into your personal style.
