Custom White Gate

A Philadelphia Mainline Architect was designing a renovation and addition for a classic property. As part of the property upgrade, the client wanted a front gate that emphasized the character of the property and provided privacy and controlled access. As part of the package, they wanted a custom driveway gate design with the automatic gate openers.

The client and design team agreed that a simulated wood gate, built in aircraft grade aluminum would provide authenticity and long term value. And with the faux wrought Iron strap hinges, the gates were stunning, and completely maintenance free.

Our “Million Dollar”, Heavy duty driveway gate hinge was utilized for minimum maintenance, hassle and downtime, to provide the best in client value. The automatic gate openers were provided with the ability to handle 1750 lb gates. And with the gate openers being underground they provided better automation features plus great aesthetics as there were no unsightly arms on the driveway gates. And the entire keypad and access control system was installed utilizing the latest in wireless communication, link into their smart home communication platform. Complete with a custom terrace railing and stair railing, this property in southeastern PA has architectural aspirations that both inspire and protect.

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!
