Mastering LA's Gate Codes
Sloped Driveways
Steep driveway? No problem. We engineer uphill hinges that lift the gate as it opens, or install rack-and-pinion sliding systems that handle severe grades without scraping.
Fire Dept Access (Knox Box)
Automated gates in LA require emergency access. We install compliant Knox Boxes and SOS sensors that open gates automatically when they detect emergency vehicle sirens.
HPOZ Compliance
Living in Hancock Park or Angelino Heights? We design automated iron and wood gates that hide modern motors to meet strict Historic Preservation Overlay Zone guidelines.
UL 325 & ASTM F2200
We ensure every automated gate meets current safety standards to prevent injury and liability.
Common Questions: Gates & Automation
Navigating California's strict UL 325 safety codes, LAFD access requirements, and automation options can be complex. Here is what LA homeowners need to know.
My electric gate is stuck or broken. Do you do repairs?
Yes. We offer rapid diagnostic and repair services for all major brands (LiftMaster, Viking, Eagle, Doorking).
Common issues we fix include:
- Broken chains or derailed sliding gates.
- Motor humming but not moving (capacitor/board issues).
- Sensors blocked by debris or sunlight.
- Gate sagging due to soil movement.
How much does a new automated driveway gate cost?
Costs vary significantly based on size, material, and motor type. In 2025, typical ranges in LA are:
What happens if the power goes out in Los Angeles?
We install motors with Battery Backup Systems (mandatory for fire compliance in many areas). This ensures your gate runs for 10-50 cycles during a blackout.
All our installs also include a Manual Release Key, allowing you to physically disconnect the motor and push the gate open by hand in an emergency.
Are electric gates safe for children and pets? (UL 325)
Yes, IF they are installed correctly. California law enforces UL 325 safety standards.
We never install a motor without two forms of entrapment protection:
- Photo Eye Sensors: Invisible beams that reverse the gate if the path is blocked.
- Reversing Edge/Internal Sensor: Detects physical contact and reverses the gate immediately.
How does the Fire Department get in?
For gated driveways in Los Angeles, the LAFD requires emergency access capability.
We install a Knox Box key switch (accessible only by emergency responders) or an SOS Sensor (which detects siren frequencies and opens the gate automatically). This is critical for inspection approval.
Can I use solar power for my electric gate?
Yes. Solar is an excellent option if running power to your driveway is difficult or expensive (avoiding trenching costs).
We install heavy-duty solar kits (like LiftMaster LA412) with larger batteries and solar panels sized for LA weather, ensuring reliable operation even on cloudy days.

The gate now looks and functions better than when it was new. It’s rare to find someone who combines true craftsmanship with such an honest, human approach."
