Services / Custom Gates
Fence Specialties designs and fabricates custom wood, vinyl, chain link, and iron gates to fit your exact specifications. We work with builders, architects, contractors, and homeowners. If you can draw it, we can build it
Unlike big-box suppliers who offer limited options and long lead times, Fence Specialties creates gates tailored to your project’s unique requirements. From residential privacy gates to commercial security entrances, we’ve been California’s trusted gate specialist since 1984.
When you need a custom gate, you need more than just another vendor. You need a partner who understands your timeline, your standards, and your budget. Fence Specialties delivers on all three with four decades of experience and fabrication facilities strategically located across California.
Every Fence Specialties custom gate is designed and fabricated in our San Jose, Sacramento, Oceanside, and Riverside facilities. This isn’t just about supporting local business—it’s about quality control, faster turnaround times, and the ability to work directly with the craftspeople building your gate. When issues arise or modifications are needed, you’re talking to the people who actually build the product, not a call center halfway across the country.
We work exclusively with premium materials sourced from trusted suppliers. Our redwood and cedar come from sustainable forestry operations. Our vinyl components exceed industry standards for UV resistance and impact strength. Our chain link uses galvanized steel with protective coatings that resist rust in coastal environments. Our ornamental iron undergoes powder coating processes that provide years of protection against the elements.
Typical custom gate lead times in the industry range from 6-12 weeks. Fence Specialties delivers in 2-3 weeks because we control the entire process from design to delivery. No waiting for subcontractors or dealing with supply chain delays from distant manufacturers. When you’re on a construction timeline or need to replace a damaged gate quickly, those saved weeks matter.
Since 1984, Fence Specialties has supplied thousands of contractors and homeowners across California. We’ve weathered economic downturns, supply shortages, and changing building codes by consistently delivering quality products and reliable service. Our customers come back to us project after project because they know we’ll be here when they need us.

Accurate measurements are critical for proper gate function. Our team can provide measurement guidelines or arrange site visits for complex installations. Standard residential gates range from 3 to 6 feet wide, while commercial applications can exceed 20 feet for vehicle access.
Gate hardware ranges from traditional hinges and latches to sophisticated electronic access systems. We work with leading manufacturers to provide reliable, code-compliant solutions for every application. Battery backup systems ensure operation during power outages for critical access points.
Fence Specialties maintains current knowledge of building codes throughout our service area and designs gates to meet or exceed requirements. Pool gates include special safety latching mechanisms required by state and local regulations. Commercial applications incorporate accessibility features as required by ADA guidelines.
Custom gate pricing depends on size, materials, hardware complexity, and special features. Our detailed quotes include all costs with no hidden fees. Payment terms accommodate both residential customers and commercial accounts with established credit relationships.
Choosing Fence Specialties for your custom gates means choosing security, style, and craftsmanship all in one. Our gates are built with premium materials, precise fabrication techniques, and the skill of artisans who understand how to combine functionality with design. From classic wood gates to modern vinyl, iron, and chain link, we ensure every gate is tailored to your property and built to perform for years to come.
Whether it’s a grand estate entrance, a functional security gate, or a simple garden walkway, we approach each project with the same commitment to quality and detail. If you can sketch it, we can create it — perfectly sized, expertly built, and ready to enhance your property.
Don’t settle for generic gates when your home or business deserves something built just for you. Let Fence Specialties design and build a gate that reflects your style, meets your needs, and stands the test of time.
