Gates and Entry Systems

Sliding and Cantilever Gates

When a gate cannot swing, it slides. We install sliding and cantilever gates that roll on tracks or hang from posts with no ground track, so they work on slopes, over snow and in tight spaces.

Questions

Common questions

How much room does a sliding gate need?

About the width of the opening beside it. We measure before we recommend.

Is a cantilever gate different?

It has no track on the ground, which keeps the path clear.
