Secure Pedestrian & Walk Gates

Custom Pedestrian & Walk Gates Built for Security, Privacy, and Daily Use

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.

What a Pedestrian or Walk Gate Can Do for Your Property

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:

• Improve safety and access control
• Add privacy between public and private areas
• Keep children and pets more secure
• Create a convenient entry without opening a larger gate
• Match an existing fence, railing, or automated driveway gate
• Upgrade curb appeal with a custom metal design

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.

Fully Custom Fabricated to Fit Your Space

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.

Common Gate Styles and Design Options

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:

• Modern horizontal metal gates
• Classic vertical picket walk gates
• Privacy gates with tighter spacing or solid-style panels
• Ornamental metal gates with decorative details
• Side yard access gates
• Garden gates
• Pool and enclosure gates
• Matching gates for existing fences and railings

We can also coordinate the design with your automated driveway gate, fence, or railing system for a consistent look across the property.

Built with Quality Materials and Professional Hardware

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.

Great for Homes, Multi-Family Properties, and Commercial Sites

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:

• Residential homes
• Driveway side entries
• Backyard and side yard access points
• Fenced front yards
• Pool and patio areas
• Apartment and multi-unit properties
• Commercial walkways and controlled access areas

Typical Timeline

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.
