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.

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.
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.
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.
