Gates Installation in Tulsa
Request an Estimate (918) 918-4647A fence without a proper gate is an obstacle course. You need to get in and out. Guests need access. Deliveries happen. The gate is where function meets the real world.
Bad gates are everywhere. Gates that sag and drag. Gates that bind in summer and freeze in winter. Gates with latches that require two hands and creative swearing. You have probably dealt with a few.
A good gate swings or slides smoothly. It latches reliably. It matches the fence so it looks intentional rather than afterthought. It handles daily use without falling apart.
We install gates throughout Tulsa. Pedestrian gates, drive gates, double gates, sliding gates. Whatever access your fence needs, built to actually work.
What's Included
Gate installation includes:
- Access point evaluation and gate sizing
- Gate type recommendation based on use and space
- Quality gate construction or fabrication
- Heavy-duty hinges and latches
- Proper post reinforcement for gate weight
- Level installation with proper swing clearance
- Hardware adjustment for smooth operation
- Demonstration of gate use and latch operation
Gates see more wear than any other fence component. We build and hang them to handle the use.
Options and Materials
Gate options cover various needs:
Pedestrian Gates
Standard walk-through gates. Single swing, typically 3-4 feet wide. The most common gate type.
Double Gates
Wider opening for mowers, wheelbarrows, or occasional vehicle access. Two gates that meet in the middle.
Driveway Gates
Large gates for vehicle access. Swing or sliding, manual or automatic. Match the fence material and style.
Sliding Gates
For driveways without room for a swinging gate. Roll along a track parallel to the fence.
Self-Closing Gates
Spring-loaded hinges close the gate automatically. Required for pool fencing, useful for pet owners.
We match gate style to your fence and gate function to your actual use. A gate that works wrong is worse than no gate at all.

Timelines and Scheduling
Gate installation timing depends on whether gates accompany a fence project or stand alone.
With a new fence, gates install at the end of the fence project. Typically the last day.
Standalone gate installation or replacement usually takes a few hours to a day per gate, depending on complexity.
Custom gates or automatic gates have longer timelines due to fabrication or equipment requirements.
Pricing Factors
Gate pricing factors:
- Gate size and type
- Material matching to fence
- Hardware quality
- Post reinforcement needs
- Automation if selected
- Site access and conditions
Gates require heavier posts and better hardware than fence sections. They cost more per foot, but they have to.
Tulsa-Specific Considerations
Gates in Tulsa need to handle Oklahoma conditions. Temperature swings affect gate fit. Humidity affects wood gates. Wind affects large gates.
We specify hardware and installation methods that account for these factors. Gates that work in January should still work in July.
Pool gates have code requirements for self-closing and self-latching. We ensure pool access gates meet Tulsa area safety codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
My gate drags on the ground. Can you fix it?
Usually yes. We can repair or replace sagging gates. Sometimes the gate is fine but the posts have shifted. We diagnose the actual problem.
Can you add a gate to my existing fence?
Yes. We cut in new gate openings and install gates in existing fences. We match materials as closely as possible.
What about double gates that never stay closed?
Common problem with poor design and hardware. We use drop rods, proper latches, and gate alignment that actually keeps double gates together.
