A driveway gate needs a straight, stable setup to swing smooth and latch tight. Frontier Fences Montgomery installs and repairs driveway gate systems in Montgomery, matching the gate to your posts, hinges, latch hardware, and opener requirements.
Good driveway gate work starts below grade. We begin with layout, hinge-side and latch-side measurements, and a check for level across the drive so the leaf does not drag. For new installs we set posts plumb and on-line, typically using galvanized steel gate posts or pressure-treated 4x6 wood where appropriate, with concrete footings sized to the gate weight and wind load. For repairs we diagnose the real cause first, post lean, hinge wear, sagging frames, or a failing operator mount, then reset, re-core, or reinforce before touching cosmetics.
Montgomery conditions put extra stress on gates, heat, heavy rains, clay soils, and seasonal ground movement can twist posts and knock gates out of square. We mitigate that with deeper, properly cured concrete, correct post spacing, and corrosion-resistant hardware such as hot-dip galvanized hinges, stainless fasteners, and sealed bearings where needed. Finish options include powder-coated steel, black or bronze aluminum, stained pressure-treated pine, or cedar, plus privacy infill like welded wire, pickets, or composite panels. If an automatic driveway gate is part of the project, we plan for conduit, low-voltage wiring, photo eyes, safety edges, and a solid operator pad so the system runs consistently.
Customers choose Frontier Fences Montgomery because we handle the whole driveway gate job, not just the gate leaf. Since serving Montgomery in 2018, we have focused on clean installs and durable repairs, correct hinge geometry, proper latch alignment, true gate reveal, and operator-friendly swing travel. You get clear options for manual swing gates, dual swing, and slide gate conversions when a slope or limited swing area makes that the smarter choice. We show up with the right tools, post-hole equipment, levels, concrete mixing gear, and welding capability for steel repairs, so the work is completed efficiently and to spec.
Before we call it done, we perform a walkthrough and full function test, swing, latch, lock, and safe clearances across the driveway. For automated systems we verify open and close limits, force settings, obstruction sensing, and photo eye alignment, and we explain basic maintenance like hinge lubrication and keeping the operator area clear. You receive a free written estimate up front, hardware and material selections documented, and straightforward guidance on what to monitor over time. If your driveway gate was repaired, we show you what failed, what we reinforced, and what to expect for long-term performance.

Yes. We provide a free written estimate after an on-site measure so footage, gates, and site conditions are accounted for.
Many residential projects can be completed in 1-3 days once materials are on hand, depending on footage, number of gates, and grade changes. We give a realistic schedule in your estimate.
Pressure-treated wood privacy fencing, galvanized chain-link, and powder-coated aluminum are the most common. We also handle walk gates, driveway gates, and repairs for all three.
Usually. We evaluate post spacing, height, picket style or chain-link fabric, and hardware so the new section ties in cleanly, then recommend the closest material match available.
A driveway gate is both access control and curb appeal, but it only works when the posts stay plumb, the frame stays square, and the hardware is sized for the load. Frontier Fences Montgomery installs new driveway gate systems and provides reliable repairs for sagging gates, dragging leaves, broken hinges, damaged latches, and operator issues. We build and service steel, aluminum, and wood driveway gates, and we match the design to your driveway width, slope, wind exposure, and daily traffic.
For installation, we start with accurate measurements and a plan for swing path and clearances so the gate does not bind on a crown or slope. New posts are set plumb with properly mixed concrete and braced until cured, then we hang the gate with heavy-duty hinges and set the latch at the correct height and reveal. If you want automation, we confirm operator requirements early, including a stable mounting surface, correct bracket placement, conduit routing, and safety devices like photo eyes and emergency release hardware.
For driveway gate repair, we focus on root causes. A gate that drags often points to post movement, hinge wear, or a frame that has racked out of square, so we may reset posts, replace hinges with bearing hinges, add a diagonal brace, or weld cracked joints. If the operator is straining, we check alignment, hinge friction, limit settings, and the gate’s balance before recommending parts. The goal is smooth travel and a latch that closes reliably without slamming.
