Custom Gates and Smart Retrofit in Northville, Michigan
Free estimates on custom fabrication, retrofits, and horse-property gates.
313 Gates builds custom iron driveway gates and installs smart-access retrofits for homeowners in Northville, Michigan, about 24 miles from our Metro Detroit base, the longest drive of any city on this list. Northville is unusual among Michigan cities in one specific way: most of it sits in Wayne County, but its northern edge crosses into Oakland County, and the horse farms and larger parcels on that edge produce some of the most custom gate work 313 Gates fabricates anywhere in the service area. Downtown Northville still runs on its historic Main Street storefronts near Mill Race Historical Village, but the calls that drive the custom side of the business come from the larger lots and horse-country parcels further out, where a gate has to clear a wider drive and often needs to keep livestock in as much as keep visitors out.
Every zip, every subdivision.

Northville questions, answered.
Do you build gates for horse properties near Northville?
Yes. Northville's outer edges include working horse farms and larger equestrian lots, and 313 Gates fabricates gates built for that use: wider clearance for trailers, sturdier hardware than a standard driveway gate, and a separate livestock gate alongside the main entrance where needed.
Which county handles gate permits for my Northville property?
It depends on exactly where the property sits. Most of Northville is in Wayne County, but the city's northern edge crosses into Oakland County, and jurisdiction follows that line. Confirm which building department covers a specific address before finalizing a design, and see the metro Detroit gate permit guide for the general threshold.
Do you serve downtown Northville as well as the outer horse-country properties?
Yes. 313 Gates covers all of Northville, from the historic storefronts near Mill Race Historical Village downtown to the larger lots and horse farms toward Maybury State Park. Design consultations and installation both run on the same schedule regardless of which part of the city a property sits in.
Can a smart retrofit work on a gate at the edge of a large property?
Yes, in most cases. Distance from the house to the gate does not usually prevent a retrofit. A technician confirms signal range and power access during a free estimate and can recommend a solar-powered option if running new electrical to a remote gate is not practical.
