Single Swing Gate Installation in Seattle, WA

FERRO-GATES completed a custom single swing gate installation in Seattle, WA using an IRON-style steel gate with automatic operation and wireless keypad access. The project was designed for a residential property that needed secure driveway access, reliable daily use, and a clean black steel appearance that matched the existing exterior layout.

This automatic single swing gate was fabricated to fit the property opening and installed with a reinforced support post mounted directly on the concrete driveway. As a result, the gate has a stable structure, smooth movement, and a stronger foundation for long-term performance.

Project Details

  • Project type: automatic single swing gate installation
  • Location: Seattle, WA
  • Gate style: IRON vertical steel design
  • Access control: wireless keypad entry system
  • Installation: reinforced post mounted on concrete
  • Use case: residential driveway access

Why This Gate Setup Worked for the Property

A single swing gate is a practical choice when the driveway layout has enough clearance for one gate leaf to open safely. For this Seattle property, the swing configuration allowed the entrance to stay simple, secure, and easy to use without requiring a sliding track or additional side-travel space.

The IRON-style vertical steel design creates a more classic and structured appearance than horizontal slat gates. It works well when the project needs visibility, airflow, and a strong metal look rather than a fully private modern panel design.

Automatic Gate and Keypad Access

The gate was equipped with a wireless keypad for convenient access control. This allows residents or approved visitors to enter using a secure code without needing a remote every time. Keypad access is especially useful for residential driveways, service access, deliveries, and shared property entry points.

Automatic operation also improves everyday convenience. Instead of opening the gate manually, the system can be configured for smoother entry and exit depending on the property’s access requirements.

Built for Long-Term Outdoor Use

For Seattle weather, gate construction and installation details matter. The reinforced post, steel frame, and proper mounting help support stable operation through regular use and changing outdoor conditions.

Because the support post was anchored directly to the concrete driveway, the gate system received a stronger base for movement and alignment. This is important for swing gates, where gate weight, hinge placement, and post stability directly affect long-term performance.

Just had a new fence installed by Ferro-Gates. Although they usually specialize in metal fences, we preferred a wood one. Their estimate was the most affordable of the 3 we had done, and the work was outstanding. Max made sure that he understood exactly what we wanted. The quality of the construction was excellent, and he solved a problem we had with our old back gate for years. Highly recommend using them.

It’s been a month since the Ferro fence was installed and the metal fence design and beauty have been praised by lots of neighbors and friends. The Ferro staff meticulously designed and installed at the solid concrete foundation with care. My family are so impressed by their working spirit and the good quality of the fence. Kudos to everyone of Ferro. I strongly recommend the Ferro fence system. Thank you, Max and Darya.

Ferro Gates installed a privacy screen using the Tisa picket fencing, which is normally used for a standard fence. They were able to adapt to my request and built an outstanding privacy screen on our back deck. I am completely satisfied with the excellent and timely work, and the high quality of the fencing material. I highly recommend them and the fine
product that they use.

I was referred to Ferro-Gates by a local fence installer, they went with me to a supply store and picked up all the supplies I needed for a small privacy wall project. Metal slats looked good, the final touch was really spot on, very good quality performance, very friendly people in the office and quick and efficient loading at their warehouse. I highly recommend and will always trust them with my future project.

Ferro-Gates did a fantastic job installing my fence and driveway gate. The quality of materials and workmanship is top notch and the project was completed on time and within budget. The warehouse is located in Renton. All materials were in stock, which saved me a lot of time.

From the initial consultation to the final installation, their team was attentive and always willing to answer my questions. The fence they installed not only looks fantastic but also feels incredibly durable. I was impressed by their attention to detail and how smoothly the entire process went. They kept me updated throughout and ensured I was completely satisfied with the final product. If you’re in the market for a new fence, Ferro-Gates is definitely the company to trust!

We,ve installed fence and two pedestrian gates with Ferro-Gates
The materials are modern, grey color. This is the only one company near the Bellevue, WA, which provides not only black metal fence. The communication was very clear,an estimate hadn't any hidden parts, and it was pretty reasonable price for the fence and hardware they used for the installation. They probably spent more time for the gates installation on my property, than they expected, because we are pretty picky. But the result is exactly the same as I we discussed. Thank you for your time and patience!
