Complete gate solutions for residential and commercial properties — from custom-built swing and slide gates to fully automated operator systems with keypad, remote, and smartphone access. Fence For Sure Inc. serves all of Chicagoland.
A fence is only as good as its gate. Fence For Sure Inc. designs and installs custom gates in wood, vinyl, aluminum, steel, chain link, and ornamental iron to match any fence style on your property. Whether you need a simple garden gate for your Naperville backyard, a double-swing driveway gate for your Lake Forest estate, or a heavy-duty cantilever slide gate for your commercial facility in Joliet, we build gates that are functional, durable, and beautiful. Every gate we install features heavy-duty hinges, commercial-grade latches, and proper post reinforcement to ensure smooth operation for years to come. We custom-size every gate to your opening — no off-the-shelf, ill-fitting solutions.
Upgrade your gate with a fully automatic operator system. Fence For Sure Inc. is an authorized installer of gate operators from the industry's most trusted brands — LiftMaster, Eagle Access Control Systems, Nice/HySecurity, Linear (Nortek), DoorKing (DKS), FAAC, Viking Access Systems, and All-O-Matic. Whether you need a residential swing gate opener for your driveway, a heavy-duty commercial slide gate operator for a warehouse, or a barrier arm system for a parking garage, we install, program, and service them all. Our automatic gate systems include swing gate operators for single and double gates, slide gate operators for heavy commercial gates, cantilever gate operators, and barrier arm operators for parking lots and gated communities. Every operator installation includes UL 325 compliant safety sensors, auto-reverse mechanisms, and battery backup so your gate functions reliably even during power outages. We program remotes, keypads, and smartphone apps so you can open your gate from anywhere.
Modern gate systems go far beyond a simple remote control. Fence For Sure Inc. installs complete access control solutions for residential estates, HOA communities, apartment complexes, office parks, and industrial facilities across Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County, McHenry County, and Will County. Our access control options include wireless keypads, proximity card readers, telephone entry systems, video intercom systems, and license plate recognition cameras. We integrate gate operators with existing security camera systems and property management software. For commercial clients, we offer multi-tenant entry systems with individual access codes and activity logging.
Is your automatic gate stuck, slow, or making grinding noises? Fence For Sure Inc. provides gate repair and operator service across the Chicagoland area. We troubleshoot and repair all major gate operator brands — LiftMaster, Eagle, Nice/HySecurity, Linear, DoorKing, FAAC, Viking, All-O-Matic, and more. Common gate repairs include motor replacement, circuit board repair, sensor alignment, chain and belt replacement, wheel and track service for slide gates, and hinge replacement for swing gates. We also upgrade outdated gate systems to modern operators with smartphone control via myQ (LiftMaster), solar power options, and enhanced safety features. Same-week service available for emergency gate repairs.
A basic residential swing gate with an automatic opener starts around $2,500. A larger driveway slide gate with keypad access typically runs $5,000–$8,000. Big commercial systems with intercom and access control can exceed $10,000. We give free on-site estimates with exact pricing for your setup.
Usually, yes. We can retrofit automatic operators onto most existing swing and slide gates. We'll inspect your current gate to make sure it's structurally sound and compatible with an operator — if it is, you don't need a new gate, just the motor and hardware.
Every operator system we install comes with battery backup, so the gate keeps working during outages. We also install a manual release so you can open it by hand if the battery runs down. You won't get locked in or out.
We recommend a service visit once a year — lubrication, sensor testing, safety checks, and inspecting the chain or belt. It's like changing the oil in your car. Regular maintenance prevents expensive breakdowns and keeps the gate running smoothly for 15–20 years.
Yes. We install LiftMaster operators with myQ technology that lets you open and close your gate from your smartphone — anywhere in the world. You can also see if the gate is open or closed, set schedules, and get alerts when someone uses it.
It depends on your driveway. Swing gates need room to open inward or outward, so they work best on flat driveways with plenty of clearance. Slide gates run along the fence line, making them ideal for sloped driveways, short driveways, or commercial properties with heavy traffic. We'll recommend the right type when we see your property.
Absolutely — all modern gate operators include UL 325 safety sensors and auto-reverse mechanisms. If anything is in the gate's path, it stops and reverses. We install photo-eye sensors at multiple heights to detect children, pets, and objects. Safety is built into every system we install.
Yes. We repair all major gate operator brands — LiftMaster, Eagle, Nice, Linear, DoorKing, FAAC, Viking, and All-O-Matic. Common issues include motor failure, sensor misalignment, circuit board problems, and worn chains or belts. Same-week service available for emergencies.
Yes — we install wireless keypads, intercom systems, and even video entry systems. You can give a temporary code to delivery drivers, contractors, or guests. For commercial properties, we set up multi-tenant systems with individual codes and activity logging.
