Why driveway gates work in Langley
Custom driveway and pedestrian gates, swing, slide, and cantilever designs in steel, aluminum, and hybrid materials.
Langley has one of the largest driveway gate markets in our service area, thanks to the mix of custom home neighbourhoods in Willoughby and Walnut Grove and acreage properties in Fort Langley, Campbell Valley, and Aldergrove. Acreage projects in particular support full estate gate installations with long driveways and significant architectural scope, budgets can exceed $40,000. Typical Willoughby new-build gates run $14,000, $28,000. Our Burnaby shop is 40 to 55 minutes from most Langley sites.
Langley splits into the City of Langley (urban core) and the Township (suburban and semi-rural). Most of our custom residential work is in Willoughby and Walnut Grove, newer neighbourhoods with modern home styles that call for mono stringer stairs, glass railings, and canopy structures. Fort Langley and Campbell Valley have heritage and acreage properties with different metalwork needs, driveway gates, barn structures, and heritage-appropriate fabrication.

FAQs
Driveway Gates questions from Langley clients
Answers to the questions we hear most often from Langley homeowners, architects, and GCs on driveway gates projects.
How much does a driveway gate cost in Langley?
Langley driveway gate cost depends on gate type, width, material, automation scope, and driveway configuration. Willoughby and Walnut Grove custom home gates are typically more standard in scope; Fort Langley and Campbell Valley acreage estate gates can involve larger spans, double-gate systems, and longer driveways requiring multiple operators, a meaningfully different project. Our Burnaby shop is 40 to 55 minutes from most Langley sites. <a href="/request-a-quote/">Request a quote</a> with your site dimensions and we'll follow up with project-specific pricing.
Do you handle acreage estate gate projects?
Yes. Fort Langley and Campbell Valley acreage custom homes frequently include full estate driveway gate installations with architectural coordination, full automation, and long-driveway design (sometimes with a secondary gate at a midway point). Project scope and budgets reflect the custom nature of this work.
Do City of Langley and Township of Langley permits differ for gates?
Yes. The two municipalities have separate building departments. Most gate work is in the Township. ALR properties in the Township may require additional review, typical for Fort Langley and Campbell Valley acreage.
Can you do heritage-appropriate gates for Fort Langley properties?
Yes. Fort Langley has a heritage overlay and some properties there support period-appropriate gate designs. We coordinate with the heritage review process at the Township and provide complete documentation.
What automation options suit larger Langley acreage driveways?
Long driveways often need multi-zone automation, a main entry gate plus intercoms at strategic points along the driveway. We coordinate with electricians and low-voltage trades on the full communications system.
How long does a Langley estate gate project take?
12 to 18 weeks for standard residential projects, 16 to 24 weeks for large acreage estate gates with full architectural coordination.
