Driveway Gates, North Vancouver
Custom driveway and pedestrian gates, swing, slide, and cantilever designs in steel, aluminum, and hybrid materials.
North Vancouver driveway gate work concentrates on Edgemont, Upper Lonsdale, British Properties, adjacent areas, and waterfront properties in Deep Cove and Dollarton. Luxury residential swing and slide gates with full automation are the standard scope. Waterfront properties require marine-grade hardware, 316 stainless fasteners, duplex galvanized and powder-coated framing, and corrosion-resistant operator components. Our Burnaby shop is 25 to 40 minutes via the Second Narrows Bridge.
North Vancouver sits at the foot of the Coast Mountains with a wildly varied building stock, from waterfront custom homes in Deep Cove and Dollarton to luxury modern builds in Edgemont and Upper Lonsdale to high-rises in Lower Lonsdale. Metalwork here has to handle more exposure than the Lower Mainland south of the Burrard Inlet: higher elevation, more snow, more wind, and salt air on the waterfront properties. Our crews make the trip across the Second Narrows Bridge regularly for residential and commercial work.
Configurations we fabricate
North Vancouver context
North Vancouver's climate, building stock, and permit process shape every driveway gates project we deliver here.
Climate
Design snow load for North Vancouver is roughly 1.8 kPa ground. Coastal exposure is high. Vancouver seismic zone with higher exposure on ridge and hillside lots. These are the numbers the engineer pulls when sizing steel for a driveway gates here.
Permits
District and City of North Vancouver both require building permits for structural and guardrail work. Waterfront and steep-slope properties trigger additional geotechnical review.

FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most often from North Vancouver homeowners, architects, and GCs on driveway gates projects.
North Vancouver driveway gate cost depends on gate type (swing versus slide), width, material, automation scope, post foundation conditions, and electrical run. Luxury custom home installations in Edgemont and Upper Lonsdale with premium automation differ significantly in scope from standard residential gates. Waterfront Deep Cove and Dollarton projects require marine-grade hardware throughout, which affects overall scope. Our Burnaby shop is 25 to 40 minutes via the Second Narrows Bridge. <a href="/request-a-quote/">Request a quote</a> with your site dimensions and we'll follow up with project-specific pricing.
316 stainless steel for all fasteners, hinges, latches, and operator hardware. Duplex hot-dip galvanizing plus marine-grade powder coat on the gate framing. Operator enclosures must be rated for coastal environments (typically NEMA 4X stainless). These specs handle 25 to 30 years of salt exposure without corrosion breakthrough.
Yes. Custom home driveway gates in these neighbourhoods are typically part of a broader architectural scope, the gate design matches the fence, landscape, and entry design. We coordinate with the architect and landscape architect during shop drawings.
Steep driveways (slope over 5%) often require slide gates or cantilever slides because swing gates cannot clear the sloping pavement. We assess slope, drainage, and post foundation conditions during the site visit and recommend the appropriate gate type.
Both District and City of North Vancouver require permits for gate installations involving structural posts and operators. Processing typically runs 4 to 8 weeks. For waterfront properties, foreshore environmental review may add time.
Yes. We coordinate intercom, video entry, keypad, and remote access systems as part of the gate scope. For luxury North Shore homes, we typically integrate with the home automation system so gate status and entry events are visible from the main home control.
