Custom metal gates add privacy, safer access, and clean curb appeal for homes and businesses.
At AC Custom Metal Work, we build pedestrian and walk gates that do more than mark an entry point. A well-made gate adds security, improves privacy, makes access easier, and gives your property a clean, finished look. We custom fabricate every gate to fit the space, the style of the property, and the way you plan to use it every day.
Since 2003, we have helped homeowners and property owners across Auburn, Seattle, Bellevue, Kent, Renton, Tacoma, and nearby areas with custom metal gate solutions. We are a family-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned company, and our team brings 20+ years of hands-on experience to every project. Everything is built with function, durability, and long-term value in mind.
A pedestrian gate is designed for foot traffic. It creates a controlled access point through a fence line, around a yard, beside a driveway gate, or at the entrance to a side yard, garden, pool area, or commercial walkway. These gates are a smart choice when you want to:
We often build walk gates as part of a full fence or gate project, but we can also fabricate a stand-alone entry gate to match your existing setup.
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all gate systems. Every pedestrian gate we install is custom fabricated based on your measurements, layout, style preferences, and security needs. That means we can tailor the height, width, frame, infill, latch setup, hinge placement, and finish to fit the property correctly.
Our custom approach is especially important when the ground is uneven, the opening is not standard, or the gate needs to line up with existing fencing, rails, columns, or masonry. We take the time to get the details right so the gate looks good, swings properly, latches securely, and holds up over time.
We fabricate pedestrian and walk gates in a wide range of styles, from simple and clean to more decorative and architectural looks. During the estimate, we go over style, dimensions, finish options, and overall use so the final gate matches both the property and the budget.
Popular options include:
We can also coordinate the design with your automated driveway gate, fence, or railing system for a consistent look across the property.
A gate is only as good as the materials and hardware behind it. We build our gates for daily use and Pacific Northwest weather. That includes strong metal framing, quality welds, and dependable hardware selected for the application. The goal is smooth operation, solid alignment, and a gate that stays dependable with regular use.
Depending on the project, we can incorporate heavy-duty hinges, secure latches, lockable entry hardware, self-closing components, and other access-control features. If your project calls for a more advanced setup, we can also discuss compatible solutions from trusted brands we work with, including Locinox and other proven gate hardware systems.
Pedestrian gates are useful in many settings. For homeowners, they help define property lines, secure side yards, and make front or backyard access easier. For multi-family and commercial properties, they can help separate tenant areas, service paths, or restricted-access spaces while keeping the entry point clean and professional.
We regularly fabricate and install custom gates for:
We keep the process straightforward so you always know what comes next. We offer same-day quotes or visits when scheduling allows, and we provide a complete itemized estimate after we gather project details.
For projects over $1,500, we require 50% down at contract signing and the remaining 50% at project completion.
Most custom gate projects are completed in about 3 to 6 weeks, depending on design, material availability, site conditions, and the overall scope of work. Because our gates are custom fabricated, we focus on building it right rather than rushing through the job. We will give you clear expectations on timing during the estimate process.

A pedestrian gate may look like a simple feature, but it plays a big role in how your property functions.

If you are ready to add a custom pedestrian or walk gate in Auburn or anywhere in the Seattle metro area, call AC Custom Metal Work at (206) 914-4958. We would be glad to schedule your estimate, talk through design options, and build a gate that is made to last.
We start with a same-day quote visit when possible to take field measurements, review access needs, latch and hinge options, privacy goals, and matching fence or railing details. Then we send an itemized estimate and walk you through style, finish, timeline, and what to expect next.
Once approved, we schedule your project, collect the deposit, order materials, and custom fabricate your walk gate in-house for the right fit and swing. Our team builds for durability, smooth operation, and clean welds, with most pedestrian gate projects moving through fabrication and prep within a 3 to 6 week window.
We coordinate your install date, set posts or tie into the existing fence line, hang and align the gate, and test hardware for reliable daily use. Before we wrap up, we complete a final quality check, review gate care with you, and make sure everything looks right and works the way it should.

Great work and great communication!
Highly recommend AC Custom Metal Work. They did an amazing job with the custom build and installation of our gates. Very high quality work with great attention to details. They made sure all our needs and requests were met. We couldn't be happier with our gates and the work they did. Excellent customer service. Eveyone we dealt with was extremely courteous, responsive, and professional. Plus they are very competitively priced. Highly recommend!!
My wife and I could not be happier with the construction quality and design of a custom metal railing we just had installed on a stepped sidewalk approaching our home's entrance. My expectations were exceeded, as this railing a definitely a notch above any of the typical iron railings seen on most properties. Moreover, Brandon was very receptive my design preferences and easy to work with. I highly recommend AC Custom Metal Work.
