New Orleans Single Gates - Create a Grand Entrance and Enhance Security

Driveway gates can increase the value of your home by up to five percent – with good reason. A driveway gate provides a grand entrance to your home; it’s a signature design element that creates a stately first impression for visitors.

However, driveway and entranceway gates don’t just add impact to your entrance. Automatic gates also increase security and prominence. An automatic gate will only open for you, and it’ll close behind you, leaving unwanted visitors, solicitors, and trespassers unable to reach your house. If you’d like, you can even secure your gate with a keypad, so that visitors with a four-digit entry code are allowed in while others are not.

If you’re considering installing an automatic gate, give us a call. Big Easy Iron Works offer single gates for New Orleans homes, as well as double gates, swing gates, and more. We’d be happy to discuss the many options available and help you choose the single gate option for your home, business, driveway, or entranceway that works best for you.

What is a single automatic gate?

A single gate is a wrought-iron or wood gate installed at the end of your driveway. It can be installed alongside a fence for added security, or simply between pillars for a stunning entrance feature.

There are two types of single gates:

• A swing gate generally swings toward your home when it opens. By swinging inward, the gate allows you to pull off a busy street faster and requires less space horizontally than a sliding gate would.
• A sliding gate slides to the right or left when it opens. By sliding smoothly to one side, the gate conserves driveway-to-curb space and is nearly invisible when open.

Why install a single gate?

You may wonder: if I install a gate, will it really secure my home? Will my friends still be able to visit? Will it require much maintenance?

You’re not alone – many of our clients wonder the same things. Here are some of the reasons many of our clients eventually decide in favor of a single gate:

• Single gates enhance security because they create a barrier to entry for trespassers. Once you install a gate, your home will no longer be an easy target. Would-be trespassers will likely move on rather than attempt to figure out the security features.
• Gates can be installed with passes (like garage door openers), keypads, and intercoms. This means you can create a universal key code to open the gate or ask each friend to individually “buzz in” – whatever you’re comfortable with.
• Electric gates don’t require much maintenance; they only need to be oiled about once a year and our team can help you with any annual maintenance needed.
• Single iron gates and wood gates don’t take up much room, which is helpful for homes with narrow driveways.
  
• Single gates are the most subtle option of the gates; while it does create a “grand entrance” effect, it’s less showy than a double gate.
• Our New Orleans single gates come in many designs and materials that match our clients’ aesthetics.
• Our gates are worry-free; if your automatic gate needs repair in the future, you don’t have to do it yourself. Just call us and we’ll fix it for you!

Our local, reliable, and talented contractors would be happy to design and install a new single gate with you. If you have any questions about whether a gate will resolve your concerns, feel free to contact us – we’ll answer any questions and help you make a well-informed decision.

About New Orleans

If you’re new to New Orleans, welcome! We built our business here because this city is like none other. From its incredible food scene to wildlife, and even historical monuments, there’s something here for everyone.

Here are a few of the first things you should do to get to know the city:

• The Cabildo: This building has played a key part in New Orleans’ history. It was the seat of the Louisiana government in the 1800s, the place where the Louisiana Purchase was made, and more. Today, it’s a museum housing rare artifacts and stories from Louisiana’s past.
• The French Quarter: Yes, it’s a well-known tourist spot, but it’s also one of the hubs of the city. As a new local, you can take one of the many walking foods, history, or cocktail tours to get to know the local restaurants and businesses that make this area their home…maybe you’ll even find your new favorite place to grab some gumbo!
• City Park: Bigger than Central Park? Yep. World’s oldest collection of living oak trees? Absolutely! This is one of the treasures of our city. Hike the park on your own, or go on a guided tour to spot some of the well-camouflaged wildlife.
