Gate Repair and Service in Detroit, Michigan
Same-day scheduling for most of the city. Residential and commercial gates, one crew.
313 Gates repairs, installs, and maintains driveway and perimeter gates across the city of Detroit, about 4.6 miles from our Metro Detroit base. Detroit calls split two ways, and 313 Gates handles both from the same crew. Warehouses, self-storage lots, and logistics yards along the industrial corridors need a gate operator built for daily truck traffic, employee turnover, and after-hours access control, the kind of property where a broken gate stops deliveries, not just cars. Homeowners from Corktown to Boston-Edison, Indian Village, and East English Village mostly call about something simpler: a gate that won't fully open, a remote that stopped working, or a hinge that gave out. Detroit's automotive and logistics base keeps commercial gate and access control work steady through the year, and residential repair calls climb every winter once road salt and freeze-thaw cycles start jamming hinges, tracks, and sensors. A city this size covers a lot of ground, from Eastern Market to Belle Isle to the blocks around Michigan Central Station, and 313 Gates services all of it, not just the neighborhoods closest to the highway.
Every zip, every subdivision.

Detroit questions, answered.
Does 313 Gates work on commercial gates in Detroit, not just residential driveways?
Yes. 313 Gates services perimeter and access gates at warehouses, self-storage facilities, and logistics yards across Detroit, alongside residential driveway gates. Commercial jobs typically pair the gate with keypad or card-reader access control, since a gate with no access system is really just a barrier anyone can walk around once it opens. We quote commercial and residential work the same way: an honest diagnosis first, then a clear price before anything gets fixed.
Do I need a permit to replace a gate on my Detroit property?
It depends on height. Detroit doesn't require a permit for a fence or gate under 7 feet, but anything taller than 6 feet does, and front-yard fences are generally capped at 4 feet. Permit fees typically run $40 to $100. See the metro Detroit gate permit guide for the full municipality-by-municipality breakdown before starting any project, since neighboring cities set different rules.
Which Detroit neighborhoods does 313 Gates serve?
313 Gates covers the entire city of Detroit, including Corktown, Boston-Edison, Indian Village, and East English Village, plus the industrial and commercial corridors around Eastern Market and the riverfront. If a property sits inside Detroit city limits, it's within our service area, and we quote both residential driveway gates and commercial perimeter systems honestly and in writing.
What's the most common gate problem you see in Detroit?
A gate that won't fully open or close, usually traced to a worn hinge, a misaligned track, or a sensor thrown off by debris or road grime. Michigan winters make it worse. Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles are the top reason repair calls spike every year between December and March, especially on gates that already had a minor issue going into the cold.
