XL Fencing — Gate Installation & Automation

Gate Installation & Automation in South Florida —
Your Property. Secured. On Your Terms.

A gate is more than an entry point — it’s the first impression of your property and the last line of defense for your family, pets, and vehicles. XL Fencing installs gates for every application: single swing gates for residential driveways, double swing gates for wider openings, slide gates for properties with limited swing clearance, and fully custom fabricated gates built to your exact specifications.

Every gate XL installs can be automated — keypads, intercoms, phone-to-open systems, and safety sensors. We install the automation hardware and ensure everything works together seamlessly. You don’t coordinate multiple contractors. You call XL, we handle the gate and the automation from a single point of contact.

Every installation includes full permit management, proactive project updates, and a 1-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, gate operation, and hardware function.

Gate Types

Every Gate Type. One Company.

Single swing gate installation - South Florida
🚪 Most Common
Single Swing Gate

The most widely installed gate type for residential driveways and yard entries. A single panel swings inward or outward depending on your property layout and local code requirements. Available in all fence materials — aluminum, vinyl, wood, chain link, and custom fabricated. Can be manual or fully automated with a gate operator.

Double swing gate installation - South Florida
🚗 Wide Openings
Double Swing Gate

Two panels that swing from the center — the right choice for wider driveway openings, two-car garages, and properties that need a grand entry statement. Each panel swings to one side, requiring clear space on both sides of the opening. Popular for estate properties, custom aluminum fabrication, and high-end residential installations across Broward and Palm Beach County.

✓ Wide Driveways ✓ Estate Properties ✓ Custom Fabrication ✓ Manual or Automated

Slide gate installation - South Florida
↔ Limited Space
Slide & Roll Gate

When there isn’t enough clearance for a swing gate, a slide or roll gate is the solution. The gate moves horizontally along a track rather than swinging, making it ideal for tight driveways, sloped properties, and commercial applications where swing clearance is restricted. Chain link slide gates are common for commercial perimeters. Custom aluminum slide gates are increasingly popular for high-end residential installations.

✓ No Swing Clearance Needed ✓ Sloped Driveways ✓ Commercial Grade Available ✓ Automated Options

Gate Automation

Open Your Gate Without Leaving Your Car.
Or Without Being Home at All.

XL Fencing installs gate automation systems that give you full control of who enters your property — from your phone, a keypad, or an intercom — without you being physically present.

🔌
Automatic Gate Openers
Electric gate operators for swing and slide gates. Professionally installed and wired — we handle the full electrical connection and programming so your gate opens and closes reliably every time.
🔢
Keypads & Access Codes
Keypad entry systems mounted at the gate for code-based access. Program multiple codes for family members, housekeepers, contractors, and visitors. Change codes instantly when needed.
📞
Intercom Systems
Video or audio intercoms that let you see and speak with visitors before granting access. Connects to your phone so you can answer from anywhere — inside the house or across the country.
📱
Phone-to-Open & App Control
Open your gate from your smartphone. Grant temporary access to delivery drivers, guests, or service personnel with a tap. Full access logs show you exactly who entered and when.
🛡
Safety Sensors & Loops
Ground loops and safety sensors prevent the gate from closing on vehicles, pets, or people. Required by code for most automated residential gate installations in South Florida.
🔋
Backup Power Systems
Battery backup ensures your gate operates during South Florida power outages — common during storm season. Your property stays secure even when the power goes out.

Common Questions

Gate & Automation FAQs

Everything South Florida homeowners want to know before getting a gate installed.

Do I need a permit for a gate in Broward County?
Yes — gate installations require permits in most Broward and Palm Beach County municipalities, particularly for automated gates and any gate attached to pool barrier fencing. XL Fencing handles all permit applications and required inspections as part of every gate installation. You don’t navigate the process yourself.
What’s the difference between a swing gate and a slide gate?
A swing gate opens by rotating on hinges — like a door. It requires clear space in the direction it swings. A slide gate moves horizontally along a track and is ideal when swing space is limited, such as on sloped driveways or narrow properties. Slide gates are also common for commercial applications. We’ll advise you on the right type for your specific property layout during your free estimate.
Can I add automation to an existing gate?
Often yes — but it depends on the gate’s condition, weight, and how it’s currently hung. XL Fencing can assess your existing gate and advise whether automation is feasible without replacing the gate structure. In many cases, existing swing or slide gates can be retrofitted with an operator, keypad, and intercom system.
How much does a gate cost in South Florida?
Gate pricing depends on type (swing, slide, custom), material (aluminum, vinyl, wood, chain link), width, automation requirements, and permit complexity. We provide free written estimates after visiting your property. We won’t quote gate prices over the phone without seeing the job — opening widths, post conditions, and automation infrastructure vary significantly property to property.
What happens to my automated gate during a power outage?
Automated gate operators include a manual release mechanism so the gate can always be opened manually during a power outage. Battery backup systems are also available — and strongly recommended in South Florida given our storm season. With battery backup, your gate continues to operate automatically even without power for an extended period.
Can my gate be opened from my phone?
Yes — phone-to-open and app-based gate control systems are available and increasingly popular. These systems connect to your gate operator via WiFi or cellular and allow you to open, close, and monitor your gate from anywhere. You can also grant temporary access codes to visitors, delivery drivers, or service personnel without being home.
How long does gate installation take?
Most standard gate installations are completed in one day. Custom fabricated gates require fabrication lead time — typically 2–4 weeks after design approval. The permitting process adds 2–4 weeks depending on your municipality. XL Fencing sends you a welcome video at signing that walks through the complete timeline so you know exactly what to expect from day one.
