About 313 Gates

Gates are all we do.

A gate is not a door that fell over. It lives outside, takes rain, road salt, and daily traffic that a house door never sees, and it fails in its own particular ways. That's the whole reason 313 Gates exists: one trade, done properly, for driveways, entries, and commercial sites across Metro Detroit.

Why one specialty

On purpose, not by accident.

Most companies that touch a gate around Detroit are garage door companies or fence crews with gates added to the price list. A gate operator doesn't share much with a garage door opener. The loads are different, the failure points are different, and the code requirements at the property line are different. 313 Gates exists to close that gap, not because gates were an easy add-on to another trade.

Where we work

Detroit metro, county by county.

Whether the job is a driveway gate in an Oakland County suburb or a barrier arm at a Macomb County truck yard, that's the territory we actually work, not a service area we just claim on paper.

What gates only actually means

What gates only actually means.

A garage door company that also does gates is running a truck built for garage doors and hoping the gate work fits in the gaps. A specialist builds around gates instead: the hardware stocked on the truck, the diagnostic habits, the way a technician approaches a gate that won't close. That difference shows up in how fast a problem gets identified and whether the fix holds.

Four things we don’t bend on.

Gates only No garage doors, no fencing crews moonlighting on gate calls. One specialty, every truck.
Honest diagnosis A firm quote comes after the gate is actually inspected, not guessed over the phone.
Real parts Repairs use real hardware for the brand on your driveway, not a universal substitute.
No pressure An estimate is an estimate. You decide when, or if, to move forward.

How we work.

01 You call or request service Describe the gate and the problem. That alone usually narrows the likely cause.
02 A technician comes out On-site diagnosis, not a phone guess.
03 You get a firm quote Approve the scope before any work begins.
04 The gate gets fixed Repaired, installed, or upgraded, and cycle-tested before the crew leaves.
You’ll know the truck

You’ll know the truck.

313 Gates vehicles carry the same name and mark you see on this site. When a technician pulls up, the van, the estimate, and the person doing the work all match. Nothing shows up in an unmarked truck.

“A gate should open the same way on day one thousand as it did on day one. That's the standard we hold every repair and install to.”

Questions people ask before they call.

Does 313 Gates work on garage doors too?

No. 313 Gates works on gates only, residential and commercial. If a job also involves a garage door, that's a different trade and a different specialist.

What areas do you serve?

313 Gates serves the Detroit metro within about 60 miles of downtown, including Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Livingston, Genesee, Monroe, St. Clair, and Lapeer counties.

Do you handle both homes and businesses?

Yes. 313 Gates works on residential driveway and estate gates as well as commercial gates, barrier arms, and access control for facilities, HOAs, and parking.

What happens at the estimate?

A technician inspects the gate in person, explains what's actually wrong or what the install involves, and gives you a firm quote before any work starts. Nothing is guessed over the phone.

Talk to a gate person. Not a call center reading a script. Call and describe what's actually going on.
