Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros provides professional driveway gates in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. A driveway gate on a Fort Lauderdale waterfront lot is the most exposed metal on the property. It hangs in salt air, it moves, and every moving part is somewhere corrosion starts working long before the finish shows a mark.
Siting comes first anyway. Lots on the finger isles have narrow frontage and short driveways, so a swing leaf arcs either into the street or into a car that has already stopped. That often forces a slide, and a slide needs a clear run along the fence line that a seawall setback or a side yard gate may already be using. A twenty two foot opening wants twenty two feet of clear fence line to park in.
Delivery is the constraint people forget. A long leaf arrives on a truck that has to cross a bascule bridge and turn onto a street parked on both sides. We check the route before fabrication, because a gate cut apart and rewelded in your driveway loses its shop finish at the welds, and the welds are exactly where the first rust bloom shows.
Specification then follows distance from open water. Facing the Intracoastal we build the leaf in aluminum, hang it on marine grade stainless, and isolate every stainless fastener from the aluminum with a nylon shoulder washer so the two metals never sit in contact. A few miles west in Plantation, that same package solves a problem the site does not have. Marine grade here means 316 and not 304, for the molybdenum in it that resists chloride pitting.
Almost nobody calls us about the leaf. They call because a hinge seized, a fastener head sheared off in the rail, or water tracked down the conduit and into the operator housing. Ask for the hardware schedule and the finish system in writing before you compare prices. Two quotes for what looks like the same gate can differ by years of service life, and the elevation drawings will look identical. Crevice corrosion under a bolt head does that.
The most common retrofit we do makes the point. A four year old gate comes to us with a sound aluminum leaf and every piece of hardware on it needing to come off: hinges, drop rod, latch, all of it plated steel bolted to a leaf that cost ten times as much. We reuse the leaf, rebuild the hardware in 316 stainless with isolation at every joint, and the owner pays a fraction of a replacement.
Scheduling is easier than most owners expect. Fabrication and finishing happen in the shop, and the driveway is only genuinely occupied on the day the posts are set and the day the leaf is hung and aligned.

Materials, equipment and how we do driveway gates
The difference between driveway gates that lasts and driveway gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, marine-grade powder-coated aluminum, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Lauderdale job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
