Pedestrian Gates
Prices shown are estimates. Final project cost depends on size, automation package, site conditions, access-control options, finish selection, and installation complexity.
Planning a complete entry or perimeter system?
Pedestrian gates are often ordered together with driveway gates, metal fence sections, locks, hinges, and access-control options.
- Good for side entrances, walkways, yards, and service access.
- Can be matched with driveway gates and fence sections.
- Lock, hinge, keypad, and access-control options are available.
- Custom sizes help fit existing openings and new layouts.
Custom Pedestrian Gates, Walk Gates, and Side Gates
Pedestrian gates are used for daily walk-through access where vehicle entry is not needed. They are a practical solution for side entrances, garden paths, front walkways, backyard entries, service access points, and perimeter layouts that require secure everyday access for residents, guests, or contractors.
In many projects, a pedestrian gate works best as part of a larger coordinated system with matching driveway gates and galvanized metal fencing. This helps the full property perimeter look planned, consistent, and secure instead of assembled from separate parts.
The right pedestrian gate design depends on opening width, privacy needs, lock type, traffic frequency, fence layout, and the overall architectural style of the property. Some projects need stronger privacy, while others benefit from a more open picket or classic steel design that keeps the entrance visually lighter.
FERRO-GATES designs, fabricates, and installs custom pedestrian gates, walk gates, and side gates for residential and commercial properties. Each gate can be built in custom dimensions to match the opening, fence line, driveway gate, privacy level, and exterior style of the property.

Walk Gates and Side Gates for Everyday Access
Walk gates and side gates are useful when the property needs secure access for people without opening the main driveway gate. They can be used for side yards, garden paths, backyard entries, service access, pool areas, front walkways, and fence openings.
A pedestrian gate can be installed as a standalone side gate or as part of a complete gate-and-fence project. For many properties, the best result comes from planning the driveway gate, pedestrian gate, fence line, and access hardware together.
When a Pedestrian Gate Is the Right Fit
- Side access to residential properties
- Backyard and garden entrances
- Front walkway access
- Service entry points for contractors or maintenance
- Matching pedestrian gates for driveway gate projects
- Coordinated perimeter systems with metal fencing
- Secure walk-through access for homes and small businesses
- Properties that need daily access without opening the driveway gate
When a Pedestrian Gate Is Not Ideal
A pedestrian gate is not a replacement for vehicle access. It works best as a walk-through entry point or as part of a larger gate-and-fence system. If the opening is mainly used by vehicles, a driveway gate should be planned first.
- Not ideal when the opening is intended for vehicle access
- Not ideal when the fence line or posts are not ready for proper gate support
- Not ideal when the project needs full driveway automation rather than walk-through access
- Not ideal when the gate is planned separately from a larger perimeter layout that should be visually matched
Pedestrian Gate Styles Available
FERRO-GATES offers several pedestrian gate styles depending on privacy, airflow, visibility, and exterior design goals.
- ATLAS pedestrian gates — modern privacy slat design with airflow.
- TERRA pedestrian gates — modern slat design with stronger privacy and a clean exterior look.
- TISA pedestrian gates — clean horizontal slat style for modern perimeter designs.
- POLO pedestrian gates — open steel picket design for airflow and visibility.
- IRON pedestrian gates — classic vertical steel design for a stronger, more traditional look.
- WOOD pedestrian gates — steel frame with wood infill for a warmer residential appearance.
Pedestrian Gates with Matching Driveway Gates and Fences
A pedestrian gate often looks and works best when it matches the driveway gate and fence system. Matching materials, colors, slat direction, picket spacing, and frame design help create a more complete exterior layout.
FERRO-GATES can build pedestrian gates to coordinate with automatic sliding gates, automatic swing gates, trackless cantilever sliding gates, and galvanized metal fences.
Locking and Access Options
Pedestrian gates can be configured with keyed locks, latches, adjustable hinges, self-closing hardware, keypad locks, intercom-related access, and other entry solutions depending on the project requirements.
The right hardware depends on how the gate will be used, how often it will be opened, whether it connects to a fence line, and whether the property needs simple manual access or a more controlled entry setup.
For controlled entry options, you can also review our gate access-control systems.
What Affects the Final Installed Price?
The final cost depends on gate width and height, frame construction, infill style, finish, lock type, hinge hardware, post requirements, installation conditions, and whether the pedestrian gate is part of a larger project with matching driveway gates or metal fencing.

- Selected style and infill type
- Frame construction and finish
- Lock, latch, hinge, and self-closing hardware
- Post requirements

FAQ
What is the difference between a pedestrian gate, walk gate, and side gate?
These terms are often used for the same type of walk-through gate. A pedestrian gate, walk gate, or side gate is designed for people, not vehicles.
Can a pedestrian gate match my driveway gate?
Yes. FERRO-GATES can build pedestrian gates in matching styles for sliding gates, swing gates, cantilever gates, and galvanized metal fence systems.
What lock options are available for pedestrian gates?
Options may include keyed locks, latches, adjustable hinges, self-closing hardware, keypad locks, and other access solutions depending on the design and use requirements of the project.
Can a pedestrian gate match a metal fence?
Yes. Pedestrian gates are often designed as part of one coordinated fence and gate system for a cleaner perimeter appearance.
Do you build custom pedestrian gate sizes?
Yes. Each pedestrian gate can be fabricated in custom dimensions based on the opening width, layout, fence line, and project requirements.
Is a pedestrian gate useful if I already have a driveway gate?
Yes. A pedestrian gate gives residents, guests, and service providers walk-through access without opening the larger driveway gate every time.
What pedestrian gate style is best for privacy?
ATLAS, TERRA, and TISA are usually stronger privacy-oriented options. POLO and IRON are more open styles that work better when airflow, visibility, or a classic steel look is preferred. WOOD is a better fit when a warmer residential appearance matters more than a fully metal look.
How much does a pedestrian gate cost?
The cost depends on size, materials, style, lock hardware, posts, installation conditions, and whether the gate is part of a larger fence or driveway gate project.
