Gate Fittings
Sing Gates
Single gates, also known as pedestrian gates or swing gates, are a type of gate that opens on hinges, swinging either inward or outward to provide access through an opening in a fence or other barrier. Single gates are typically used in residential, commercial, and public settings to control access for pedestrians, vehicles, or equipment.
– Material: Single gates are often made from steel, aluminum, wrought iron, or wood, depending on the application and desired aesthetics. Metal gates are commonly used for durability and security, while wood gates can provide a natural look and privacy.

Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are a type of gate system that operates by sliding horizontally along a track, providing access through an opening in a fence or barrier. Sliding gates are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings for driveways and other entrances. They offer an efficient and space-saving alternative to swing gates, as they do not require clearance for swinging.
– Material: Sliding gates are typically constructed from durable materials such as steel, aluminum, wrought iron, or wood, depending on the application and desired aesthetics. Metal gates are known for strength and security, while wood gates can provide a natural look and privacy.
– Design: The gate features a frame with infill materials such as chain link, wrought iron, aluminum slats, wood panels, or other materials. The gate slides along a track system that can be installed on the ground (ground track) or suspended (cantilever).
Types: There are two primary types of sliding gates:
– Ground Track Sliding Gates: These gates slide along a track installed on the ground. Rollers attached to the gate frame allow it to move smoothly along the track.
– Cantilever Sliding Gates: These gates are supported by rollers attached to posts on one side of the opening, allowing the gate to slide without touching the ground. This design is beneficial in areas with uneven ground or where a ground track may be obstructed.
Material: Steel, aluminum, wrought iron, or wood for strength and durability; infill options such as chain link, wrought iron, or wood may also be used.
Track System: Ground track or cantilever, depending on the gate type and application.
Sizes: Available in various widths and heights to accommodate different opening sizes and applications.

cantilever gate
Cantilever gates are a type of sliding gate that operate without a ground track, providing access through an opening in a fence or barrier. Instead of using a track on the ground, cantilever gates are supported by rollers attached to posts on one side of the opening. This design allows the gate to slide back and forth smoothly while remaining elevated above the ground. Cantilever gates are ideal for settings where ground obstructions, uneven surfaces, or frequent debris might interfere with traditional sliding gates.
– Material: Cantilever gates are commonly made from steel, aluminum, wrought iron, or wood, depending on the application and desired aesthetics. Metal gates are known for their strength and durability, while wood gates can provide a natural appearance and privacy.
– Design: The gate consists of a frame with infill materials such as chain link, wrought iron, aluminum slats, wood panels, or other materials. The gate slides along rollers attached to the supporting posts, allowing it to operate without a ground track.
– Sizes: Cantilever gates can be designed for various opening widths and heights to accommodate residential, commercial, or industrial applications.
– Finish: Gates are often finished with powder coating or galvanization for enhanced durability and resistance to weather and wear.
No Ground Track: Unlike traditional sliding gates that run on a track installed in the ground, cantilever gates are supported by rollers on a frame mounted to one side. This allows the gate to slide above the ground without a track.
Smooth Operation: The lack of a ground track means that cantilever gates generally operate smoothly, without interference from dirt, debris, or uneven ground.
Low Maintenance: Because there’s no ground track to maintain, cantilever gates typically require less maintenance than other types of gates.
Security and Strength: Cantilever gates can be designed to provide high levels of security and are often made with sturdy materials to ensure durability and strength.
Wide Openings: Cantilever gates can span wide openings, making them suitable for commercial or industrial applications where large entrances may be required.
Aesthetic Appeal: Cantilever gates can offer a clean, modern look because there is no ground track or other obstructions.
Variety of Materials: Cantilever gates can be made from a variety of materials, such as steel, aluminum, or other metals, and can be customized to suit different architectural styles.
Material: Steel, aluminum, wrought iron, or wood for strength and durability; infill options such as chain link, wrought iron, aluminum slats, or wood may also be used.
Track System: Rollers are attached to posts on one side of the opening, supporting the gate as it slides along the track system.
Sizes: Customizable to different widths and heights based on the opening size and application requirements.
Finish: Powder-coated, galvanized, or other protective finishes to resist corrosion and wear.
Residential: Used for driveways, yards, and other entrances to provide security and aesthetics.
