Swing gates are most common in residential LA driveways. They open inward or outward and are generally less expensive. However, they require clearance space — if your driveway slopes upward or is narrow, a swing gate may not work.
Sliding gates are ideal for sloped driveways, narrow lots, or any property where swing clearance is an issue. Most sliding gate installs in Van Nuys, Reseda, and Sun Valley fall in the $3,500–$6,500 range fully automated.
We specialize in LiftMaster gate opener installation and repair throughout Los Angeles — including smart remote, keypad, and intercom integration.
