Not a voicemail, not a call tree. Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road from Cherry Hills Village. That’s the oldest accountability there is.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Cherry Hills Village’s Preferred Gate Installation Company
We work on gates in Cherry Hills Village nearly every week, and the jobs here are nothing like standard suburban work. The homes along South University Boulevard, South Franklin Street, and the private roads off East Quincy Avenue sit on acre-plus lots with long driveways and ornamental gates that weigh hundreds of pounds. Homeowners here don’t want a box-store gate kit bolted to a post. They want a gate that matches the house, runs quietly, and holds alignment through Colorado winters. That’s the work we do.
When a Cherry Hills Village homeowner calls, we know what’s likely waiting. We know the 80113 ZIP code. We know the freeze-thaw heave on older concrete footings. We know the mixed wiring from intercoms installed in the 1980s tied to gate operators added in 2015. That local knowledge means we show up with the right parts and the right plan the first time. Customers in Cherry Hills Village have called us after other outfits quoted phone-only prices that changed at the door. We don’t play that. The price we quote is the price on the invoice.
Our Gate Installation team includes background-checked, uniformed people who have worked with Hal for years, not a rotating crew. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. No runaround. Hal has been at this since 2001, and we’re certified to service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.
Our Gate Installation Services in Cherry Hills Village
Driveway Gate Installation
Most Cherry Hills Village estates need a driveway gate that clears a wide entry and handles frequent use. We install swing and sliding driveway gates sized for everything from a sedan to a horse trailer. A typical custom driveway gate installation in Cherry Hills Village runs $3,500-$12,000 depending on gate material, width, and operator choice. We handle the power run, the loop detectors, and the safety edges. You get one crew on the job, not three subcontractors.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
A pedestrian gate lets guests and delivery drivers enter without opening the full driveway gate. On Cherry Hills Village properties, pedestrian gates are often built to match the main gate’s ornamental iron pattern. We fabricate and install matching pedestrian gates with proper hinges and closers, typically in the $1,200-$3,500 range. When the pedestrian gate sits in a stone or brick yard wall, we coordinate with the masonry already there.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates work well on Cherry Hills Village lots with steep entry slopes or limited swing clearance. We install cantilever and V-track slide gates with operators sized for the gate’s actual weight, not a guess. Cherry Hills Village sees heavy wet spring snow storms that can dump 12-18 inches overnight, so sizing the motor correctly matters. A sliding gate installation here typically runs $4,000-$14,000, with the operator and track system as a major cost driver.
Swing Gate Installation
Swing gates are the most common choice on Cherry Hills Village estates, especially double swing gates for wide driveways. The hinge posts carry the entire gate weight, so we pour deep footings below frost line and use heavy-walled steel posts. Hal often says it: a gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. That’s where we start. Expect a quality single swing gate installation in Cherry Hills Village to run $2,800-$8,000; a custom double swing gate with matched operators runs $7,000-$18,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cherry Hills Village
We install and service operators from DoorKing, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls, along with the other major brands. We keep common control boards, loop detectors, and safety edge components on hand for Cherry Hills Village jobs, which means faster turnaround when a legacy system needs matching hardware. If a gate on a 1980s intercom system needs a DoorKing control board swapped, we typically have the part on the truck or at the shop, not on backorder.
Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Cherry Hills Village Homes
- Dual-gate estate confusion: Several older equestrian properties in Cherry Hills Village have a decorative automated gate at the street and a separate paddock gate further back. The hardware needs are completely different, and a crew that’s seen only one type will botch the other.
- Freeze-thaw post heave: Old concrete footings on 1950s-to-1990s estates heave through Front Range winters, throwing hinge alignment off by enough to bind the gate. We fix the footings, not just the panel.
- Undersized operators on heavy ornamental gates: A wrought iron gate can weigh 600 pounds. A residential operator from a big-box store rated for half that will burn out in one or two Cherry Hills Village snow seasons.
- Mixed-generation wiring: Piecemeal upgrades over decades leave modern smart-home access control talking to hardwired intercom systems that predate it. Diagnosis takes someone who’s seen both eras of wiring.

FAQs - Gate Installation in Cherry Hills Village
We treat the street gate and paddock gate as one job but two separate systems. The street gate usually gets an automated operator with safety edges and loop detection, while the paddock gate may be manual or semi-automated with solar power if there’s no line voltage nearby. We quote both scopes together so you see one number and one schedule. Call (877) 610-2993 for an exact written quote.
Yes, in most cases, we can match a new operator to your existing intercom, camera, or access control wiring. We’ve done exactly that on older estates off South University Boulevard where the intercom dates back decades but the homeowner wants a new FAAC or LiftMaster operator rather than a full system rip-out. The first step is checking the wiring and control voltage. We’ll tell you honestly if the old intercom can be integrated or if a small relay adapter will do it. Schedule an inspection at (877) 610-2993.
For a heavy ornamental gate in Cherry Hills Village, we pour concrete footings below the frost line, typically 36-42 inches deep for this area, using heavy-wall steel posts set in concrete. The freeze-thaw cycles at 5,400-5,500 feet will heave shallow footings within a few years and throw the hinges out of alignment. We also add a concrete pad under the gate opening for the operator if it’s underground. We’ll spec the footing based on gate weight and soil conditions at your property. Call (877) 610-2993 for a free on-site estimate.
Yes, we install underground operators from FAAC, BFT, and Linear for driveway gates in Cherry Hills Village. Underground operators keep the gate clean-looking since the motor hides below grade, which matters on high-end ornamental gates where surface-mount arms would clutter the look. Installation involves excavating and setting the operator foundation boxes, which we handle with care around existing stone work and landscaping. The typical underground operator retrofit on a double swing gate here runs $2,500-$5,000 in addition to the gate work. Contact (877) 610-2993 to schedule an estimate.
Yes, solar gate openers work well for remote paddock gates on Cherry Hills Village equestrian properties where running line voltage isn’t practical. We typically use Ghost Controls or Mighty Mule solar-compatible operators, sized with enough panel and battery capacity to handle heavy use and cloudy winter stretches at elevation. The panels mount on the gate post or a nearby pole, and the whole system avoids trenching electrical lines across pasture. We’ll spec the panel size to your gate weight and usage. Call (877) 610-2993 for an exact recommendation.
If you’re in Cherry Hills Village and need a new gate, a replacement operator, or a second opinion on a quote someone else wrote, call (877) 610-2993. A live person answers. Hal will talk you through what you actually need and what you don’t. Written estimate, free. No trip charge inside the county. No pressure, no upselling, no phone-then-door price games.
