A successful executive was building a new home for his family. As part of the beautiful property, they wanted a metal fence and a driveway gate, with gate openers to provide classic physical security.

As part of the security protocol, they desired a pedestrian gate with a programmable code latch. With some research, the correct latch was sourced and installed.

The initial gate design and layout was challenging and evolved as the security needs and aspects of the property were evaluated. From a material perspective, using aircraft grade aluminum for this driveway gate and estate fence made sense. When the clients realized that they could utilize this non-corrosive alloy, that it was solid pickets, welded solid, and indistinguishable from “wrought iron” fence, they were thrilled. They realized that it is a durable, solid and rigid product that can look good for many decades, and would require zero maintenance. with that in-mind, all the posts, post caps, finials, and components were researched and procured.

This turned out to be a spectacular project, with the house providing a great backdrop for a custom-crafted fence and gate that can provide security and beauty for generations.

We love our front porch railings! They certainly add a lot of beauty to our home and they fit the period of our home. When elderly guests come to visit, it’s always good that they have something strong to hold onto, and they fit perfectly what we were looking for. Thanks to everyone on your team for their artistic work. We are very happy with our final products!

Compass delivered absolutely amazing, high quality product. They are true masters.  I am also pleased with their timely communication and guidance, as we worked through the design and transaction process. 

I would definitely recommend them and work with them again.

What an excellent experience we had with Compass Ironworks!! We have spent four years restoring and remodeling a Pre-Civil War home in North Alabama. We have learned a lot through the process and made more than a few mistakes. But choosing Compass Ironworks was not one of those. From the very first interaction, Amos and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Old homes are quirky! No right angles. No two measurements are precisely the same. So using a company in Pennsylvania was a risk. And we are SO GLAD we took that risk! Absolutely flawless!! The designs, the collaboration, the execution, the QUALITY, the timeline and the finished product were all first class!!! We will absolutely choose Compass again for our next project and recommend them to anyone who asks.

The railing is installed and is beautiful … a work of art, to be sure!

My expectations were high and certainly met. I was able to visit the shop and see the railing in progress. It was a thrill to see it then, and very exciting when it arrived at my home.

I have already recommended you to others!
