Alexandria's Automatic Gate Contractor
Fortified Fence and Weld designs, fabricates, and installs automatic entry gates for homeowners and businesses throughout Alexandria, Pineville, and Rapides Parish. Every gate we build is custom fabricated in-house by our AWS-certified welders — we don't sell off-the-shelf kits. You get a gate built to your exact opening, your property style, and your security needs.
We install LiftMaster and US Automatic gate operators for both swing and slide gate applications. Whether you need a simple remote-controlled driveway gate or a commercial entry system with keypad, intercom, and vehicle loop detectors, we handle the full installation from post setting to final programming.
We also repair existing automatic gate systems — failed operators, broken arms, dead control boards, and wiring issues. Call (318) 446-2134 for a free estimate or emergency gate repair.
Automatic Entry Gates for Rural & Residential Properties
This automatic entry gate was custom fabricated and installed on a rural Central Louisiana property. The heavy-duty steel frame with expanded metal infill provides security and visibility, while the automated operator lets the owner open and close the gate from their vehicle or phone.
We size every gate to the exact driveway opening and set posts in concrete for a permanent, level installation. Operators are programmed on-site before we leave.
Commercial-Grade Gate Operators
We install LiftMaster commercial gate operators — the same systems used in industrial facilities, apartment complexes, and government properties. The control board shown here is a LiftMaster commercial unit with full diagnostic capability, multiple access inputs, and safety reversal built in.
Every operator installation includes on-site programming, limit switch calibration, safety testing, and a walkthrough so you know exactly how your system works. We also service and repair existing operators throughout Alexandria and Rapides Parish.
Automatic Wood Privacy Sliding Gates
Want privacy and automation together? We build wood-infill sliding gates on heavy-duty steel frames — the steel gives you the structural strength for an automated operator, while the wood boards provide the privacy and curb appeal you want.
This residential sliding gate features a galvanized steel pipe frame with wood privacy boards and a cantilever slide operator. It rolls smoothly on a track-free cantilever system — no ground track to collect debris or ice.
