How big was the driveway security gate on this Los Angeles project?

The main entrance is a 20-foot-wide, 8-foot-tall double-swing steel gate — two 10-foot leaves that meet in the middle. At 8 feet tall with spear-top pickets, it gives the commercial yard a strong security barrier while still matching the look of the surrounding fence.

What is a cane bolt on a gate?

A cane bolt is a long drop rod that pins a swing gate to the ground. On this project the 6-foot pedestrian gate uses a cane bolt that drops into a sleeve set in the concrete, holding the gate firmly closed so it doesn't swing or rattle, and giving a solid point to lock against.

Do you build security fencing and gates for commercial yards in Los Angeles?

Yes. Apexguard Fence installs steel security fences and gates for commercial yards, storage lots, and industrial properties across Los Angeles and Southern California — including wide double-swing driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and matching spear-top perimeter fence, welded and finished on site.

How long did this gate and fence installation take?

This security gate and fence run was installed in a single day. Timing depends on the opening size, the footings, ground and slope conditions, and whether an old fence or gate needs to be removed first.

20-foot double-swing black steel security gate at a commercial yard in Los Angeles by Apexguard Fence

Local work: a 20-foot double-swing steel security gate with spear-top pickets, closing off a commercial yard in Los Angeles. Built and installed by Apexguard Fence in a single day.

A returning customer in Los Angeles

About two years ago, we built the first iron gate and fence at this Los Angeles property off Athens Way. This summer the owner, Humberto, called us again — he needed a wider, taller, more secure entrance for the yard. We came out to measure and quote, agreed on the design, scheduled the install, and got it done in one day. Repeat customers are the part of this work we’re proudest of: the first gate held up, so they trusted us with the next one.

The new gate: 20 feet wide, 8 feet tall

The main entrance is a 20-foot-wide, 8-foot-tall double-swing steel gate — two 10-foot leaves that meet in the middle and swing in. At 8 feet tall with spear-top pickets, it gives the commercial yard a serious security barrier while still matching the look of the fence on either side. We hung it on heavy steel posts set in concrete footings so the leaves stay plumb and the gate swings true even at that width.

The pedestrian gate and cane bolt

Next to the driveway gate we added a 6-foot-wide pedestrian swing gate so staff can come and go on foot without opening the big gate. It’s secured with a cane bolt — a long drop rod that pins the gate into a sleeve set in the concrete. The cane bolt holds the gate firmly closed so it doesn’t swing or rattle, and gives a solid point to lock against. It’s a simple, heavy-duty detail that makes a real difference on a working commercial yard.

What the job involved

Measuring the opening and laying out posts so a 20-ft double-swing gate would clear, meet, and latch in the center.
Setting heavy steel gate posts in concrete footings, plumb and square, to carry the weight of two 10-ft leaves.
Fabricating and welding the gates and spear-top fence sections on site.
Hanging the double-swing gate, plus a 6-ft pedestrian gate with a cane bolt anchored into the concrete.
Powder-coated steel finish, with welds touched up in matching paint for a clean, rust-resistant result.

Why steel security fencing works for commercial yards

For a storage or container yard, a steel spear-top fence with a matching swing gate is hard to beat: it’s strong, see-through enough to keep an eye on the lot, and tough to climb. Galvanized steel with a powder-coated finish stands up to the Southern California climate with very little upkeep, and welding the gates and fence on site means everything lines up and the security line reads clean from the street.

If you have a commercial yard, storage lot, or industrial property in Los Angeles that needs a secure gate and perimeter fence, we design it around your opening, your traffic, and how you actually use the space.
